Cosmi Konzelman

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in a variety of settings supporting individuals navigating PTSD, addiction, and recovery from domestic violence and relational trauma. I have worked in community mental health, treatment programs, and trauma-informed environments, giving me a deep understanding of the complex challenges these populations face.

My approach is trauma-focused, attachment-based, and grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are — without judgment — and partnering together toward meaningful, measurable healing. My goal is not just symptom management, but helping you experience real growth, healthier relationships, emotional stability, and lasting change.

Therapy with me is compassionate, direct, and empowering. We will work at a pace that feels safe while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing is possible, and I am passionate about helping clients see tangible results in their lives.

For clients who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian faith-integrated counseling into our work together.

You don’t have to navigate this alone — support and transformation are possible.

One of my greatest assets is, I Recognize Un-Nurtured Pain. I have 17 years of experience as a clinical counselor. I deem myself an energetic, empathetic, resourceful, and compassionate counseling professional with proven ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I fully grasp the emotional and residual effects of how unresolved childhood issues, chemical substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD impact one’s daily life. Moreover, the low self-esteem, decreased self-worth, powerlessness, and hopelessness those issues incite.
