Welcome to my bio! I have been a certified and licensed therapist since 2011-I am currently licensed in PA, SC and NC. I LOVE what I do and have the best clients in the world! My favorite clients are those that had a bad run with a weird therapist (the hesitaters), those who "aren't sure therapy really works (the naysayers)and specialty populations like first responders (the savers), couples (the lovers), and LGBTQ (the gayer's) (makes it crazy during political seasons haha!). My clients call me "funny," "authentic," and "like a professional friend."

Hello! I’m Noel Fournarakis, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with approximately 9 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals across a wide range of levels of care, from residential treatment to outpatient therapy. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, postpartum anxiety and depression, and addiction.

My diverse clinical experience allows me to meet each client where they are and tailor my approach to their individual needs. I believe healing begins with having a space where you feel heard, safe, and empowered. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop meaningful tools for navigating life’s challenges. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

Kristen English

Kristen English

Psychologist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with 23 years of counseling experience with adults of all ages, from late-adolescence and across the lifespan.

My practice focuses on helping individuals develop personally meaningful ways of navigating anxiety and depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, time-of-life transitions, and identity development. These therapeutic partnerships often involve identity-affirming explorations of racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA, and neuro-diversity matters within clients’ lives.


Helping clients feels safe, regarded, and at ease... I work hard to understand what each individual needs from me to feel these things at the forefront of our relationship.

I feel really confident in my empathic attunement toward clients as I authentically connect with each individual. I prioritize creating a shared space of sincerity as clients begin telling me their stories.

And what an honor it is, helping clients share their narratives in a manner that highlights their courage and resilience, as well as their yearning and needs.

As we begin to explore and understand all of these things, we hone in on each client’s inner resources and external supports — identifying these things and figuring out how each individual client can feel most empowered in themselves.
