Tibor Baukal

Tibor Baukal

Therapist

Virtual • Coopersburg, PA


I am a highly experienced therapist who has worked in every setting and level of care, from highly restrictive environments, such as hospitals and residential settings, to community-based and outpatient settings. I have worked with children and families, with adolescents and adults, men and women, cisgendered and transgendered, with those struggling with substance abuse, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. My education and training have led me to understand that those who seek professional help are situated in a relational context, one born out of their experiences growing up, as well as their current interpersonal dynamics. In my experience, people often come into therapy when they are stuck between repeating behaviors that are unhelpful or even dangerous, and not knowing what to do differently, or even how to make a change in their lives, despite knowing that they don't want to keep doing what they are doing. That is when someone like myself meets someone like yourself, and we work together to find a new path forward.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Erie, PA

Searching for therapists in Erie starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. As you compare Erie PA therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist may list experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or faith-informed care such as Christian counseling.

In a smaller city like Erie, local therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can add more choice, especially if you want a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania who fits your schedule or has experience with a specific concern. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their therapy style. Bios can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a therapist’s communication style seems like a fit.

Therapy in Erie can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Erie, PA who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
