Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Media, PA

Hi! My name is Christina Allard. I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years with experience with residential, inpatient and outpatient therapy. I graduated with my Masters of arts in Counseling from Regis University.

I have my Bachelors degree from the University of Scranton in Psychology in 2010 and received my Masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling in 2013 also from The University of Scranton. I have worked in many fields prior to getting into private practice and have experience with couples therapy, addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health counseling, adolescents, grief and trauma. I hold a CRC (Certified Rehabilitation Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Pennsylvania.

I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate substance use and mental health issues. I have worked with people who use drugs and their family members in numerous settings and have experience conducting individual and group therapy. I obtained my master's degree from Temple University and am passionate about supporting those with substance use challenges and their loved ones.

A peaceful place to be heard, understood, and restored. Rooted in wisdom. Guided by compassion.

I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.

My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency treatment, correctional settings, and alternative education programs. I am passionate about working with individuals who feel misunderstood, overlooked, or judged, and I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can be themselves. My clinical interests include high-risk behaviors, challenging thought patterns, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and personality disorders.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual and group therapy to clients ages 12 through 65+. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and marital stress, offering a supportive space to explore challenges and build effective coping strategies.
