I have been in the mental health field for 16 years from in-home counseling to forensic counseling. This past year I recently got Licensed and opened my own private practice. I have extensive training in Trauma, depression, and anxiety. I’m a big believer that Borderline Personality Disorder stems from trauma and the characteristics one has needed to adapt to in order to function/survive.
I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.
Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA and MI. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space and personal connection to open up the opportunity for you to explore what's causing strain in your life: grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges. I offer practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.
If you're feeling exhausted, anxious, weary, or down.. I believe there is a way to strengthen your sense of self, set realistic expectations and boundaries that value your needs, and bring yourself and your loved ones the best of you.
Hi! My name’s Colin and I’m a Philly-based therapist. I work with introverts and LGBTQ+ individuals experiencing problems within socializing. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, setting boundaries, loneliness, isolation, or depression, I’m here to help. I enjoy watching people grow and try out new techniques to improve their lives and relationships.
I've received my Master's degree from Temple University and have worked in the mental health field for 8 years in a variety of settings.
I’m Aiden, a Licensed Clinical Social worker that is specialize in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA affirming therapy. My clients would say that I am a warm and down-to-earth therapist that affirms and gives space for you to be yourself.
I’m a dedicated mental health professional with over 10 years of experience in the helping professions, driven by a deep passion for supporting people in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in treating anxiety and related disorders through specialized modalities such as Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP) as well as grief and loss, depression, and relationship and attachment issues.

I also work with anxiety disorders and phobias, helping clients better understand their patterns and gradually overcome avoidance so they can live more freely.
My name is Sarah, and I'm a therapist, coach and activist. I practice healing through a trauma-informed, political lens. In my 12 year-long career, I've served many populations, but have found my home for the past 7 years serving adults in private practice.
Greetings and thank you for stopping by my profile, I am Lidia. In my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space to slow down and reconnect with your inner resilience. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your experiences, honor your emotions, and build practical strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or a sense of disconnection, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity as you create meaningful, lasting change.
Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults on a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also have a special interest in supporting clients with eating disorders, body image, and body positivity, including HAES approaches, and offer family-based support when helpful. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.
On the outside, you may be holding it all together. Inside, it may feel like a lot. You may be dealing with intense thoughts, emotions, or experiences from the past that still show up in the present. Sometimes you already know the skills or what you "should be doing," and the harder question is why your mind or body keeps reacting as though something from the past is still happening now. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I also support LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey that we take together.
There are people who the rest of the world thinks are doing great (or were, until some life-altering change occurred)—people who are giving so much and trying so hard. But somehow it’s never enough.
If this describes you, let's talk. My clients tend to be people who care for others, like teachers, activists, nurses and clergy. However, I also work with a lot of people who are just overwhelmed by the state of the world.
I welcome those who are skeptical about therapy. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.
I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.
I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.
