Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Newtown Square, PA

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.

I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that there comes a time when prioritizing our mental health needs becomes the key to being productive and happy in our day to day lives. Putting ourselves first generally can be a struggle and something that does not come easy, so taking the first step is key. I have had the opportunity to work for the last 20 years as a therapist within a school-based mental health program working with adolescents and teenagers and help them deal with managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Diplomate in Energy Psychology with advanced training in mindfulness and mind-body approaches to healing. My work integrates neuroscience, somatic awareness, and energy psychology to help clients move beyond symptom management and into genuine transformation.

I specialize in supporting adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and phobias, as well as those seeking greater focus, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative and growth-oriented—grounded in presence, compassion, and evidence-based practices that honor both mind and body.

With a background in both traditional therapy and integrative modalities, I aim to help clients reconnect to their innate capacity for healing and resilience—so they can live with more clarity, freedom, and ease.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Transformative Journey Counseling, LLC. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College and a Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis from Saint Joseph’s University. I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. My work focuses on empowering clients to gain insight, build resilience, and find healthy ways to cope and grow through life’s transitions.

My name is Leilani and I’m a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe feeling heard is just as important as any treatment plan. My background in both primary care and mental health, along with my experience as a military veteran and spouse, helps me understand how stress, health, and life experiences are often deeply intertwined. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life transitions, and I take time to listen before offering guidance. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where we can talk things through together and move forward in a way that feels manageable and right for you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've had the privilege of working with adults from many different backgrounds and stages of life. My experience includes supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, personality disorders, relationship concerns, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and those requiring crisis intervention or suicide prevention services. Much of my clinical work has been in higher-acuity settings, giving me experience helping people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that people are far more than a diagnosis or the most difficult chapter of their lives. Every person has a unique story, strengths, and experiences, and I believe therapy should reflect that. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood without judgment. Clients often describe me as genuine, approachable, and direct. I believe in having honest conversations while also offering compassion, support, and practical guidance. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and my path into this work comes from a genuine desire to help people feel understood and supported during some of their hardest moments. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has shown me how complex mental health can be, so I approach each client with empathy, patience, and respect for their individual story. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, and mood disorders.
