I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is queer and autistic/ADHD. I love the arts and spirituality, and enjoy working with kids and young adults the most. The populations I specialize working with include individuals identifying as non-manogomous, neurodivergent, trans/queer, and most other alt/weird/unique/geeky/nerdy folx. Mindfulness is an important aspect of therapy for my practice, as is creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe for marginalized groups.
What is your approach to therapy?
I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative partnership tailored to your unique story. My style is warm, holistic, and integrative. Because I am trained in both Clinical Social Work and Christian Theology (Masters of Divinity), I view health through a wide lens—considering not just your thoughts and behaviors, but also your values, your community, and the physical way your body carries stress.
My goal is to help you move from a place of "just getting by" to a place where you feel grounded, resilient, and authentically yourself.
I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life. My approach is practical and compassionate—I help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit your life. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged.
Hi! My name is Sara and I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of nursing experience. I have worked in Sports Medicine, Pain Management, and Emergency Medicine. I believe prioritizing mental health is some of the best self care you can do, and I would love to help you feel like your best self.
I believe therapy works best when it doesn't feel like talking to a robot with a checklist. I'm a real person who understands that life gets messy, and I create a space where we can navigate that messiness together.
As a licensed mental health counselor with over eight years of experience, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, life adjustments, chronic stress, and burnout. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with a human-centered perspective that sees you as a whole person with your own unique story.
I received my degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and have been in private practice since 2016. This experience has shaped my practical, collaborative approach to therapy.
I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to take it alone. I work with teens (late adolescence) through adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and begin creating meaningful change. In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples and family therapy to help improve communication, strengthen relationships, and work through difficult dynamics.
HI! My name is Brandais and I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. I have 11 years of experience working in mental health. For my practice I focus on anxiety, ADHD, neurodivergence, life-changes, women's issues and diverse populations including LGBTQIA populations. My experience is with people across the lifespan. Currently I work with adults from 18-65. I approach my clients with warmth and allowing you to share your experience with non-judgement.
My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.
For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Clients my training and background would most benefit are those experiencing difficulty in their relationships with their children, parents, spouses, co-workers or other significant people in their lives; those whose anxiety or depression is holding them back, and those who are willing to work to reach their true potential.
I earned my MSW from the University of Illinois at Chicago concentrating in mental health and have helped people in complicated and difficult situations ever since.
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.
Hello I am Clyde who wants to ensure you receive the best treatment you can, offering treatment in a safe space, nonjudgmental, honest, confidential, timely warm, kind, considerate, professional, ethical, skillful, relevant, current way. Look forward to getting to know you.
