I have over a decade of experience working with people as they navigate life transitions. I understand struggling and feeling overwhelmed, and I believe that adding support and guidance can help alleviate life's stressors.

I've worked multiple years as a therapist in a community mental health center, a partial hospitalization program, and a nursing home. I try to understand where you are starting and where you are trying to go. I believe that there is value in humor, storytelling, and understanding different perspectives.

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

If you’re feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, know that you don't have to carry this alone. I offer a warm, nurturing space where your journey—mind, body, and spirit—is held with compassion. Instead of just focusing on the past, we’ll work together to find your inner resources and create small, tangible steps toward a life that feels lighter and more aligned with your values.

Terry Pryor

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

Happy patient looking away

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 Therapist in Erie

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.
