Couples therapists in Newtown Square, PA

As an EMDR-trained licensed clinical social worker, I work alongside clients to encourage vulnerability and build resiliency. I hold a double master's degree in social work and human sexuality, a trauma certificate, and Beck CBT certification. I work with individual adults and within relationships, using a healthy dose of humor and sensitivity.

Finding the right therapist can feel like a leap of faith — especially when you've spent years wondering if anyone will truly get you. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, or carrying weight you've never said out loud, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning. That matters here. You are not too much. You are not too complicated. And you don't have to perform wellness to be worthy of support.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

I’m John, an LGBTQ+ identified (he/they) psychotherapist practicing through a psychodynamic, relational and attachment-based lens. I've extensive training in trauma work, including EMDR.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

I am a highly experienced therapist who has worked in every setting and level of care, from highly restrictive environments, such as hospitals and residential settings, to community-based and outpatient settings. I have worked with children and families, with adolescents and adults, men and women, cisgendered and transgendered, with those struggling with substance abuse, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. My education and training have led me to understand that those who seek professional help are situated in a relational context, one born out of their experiences growing up, as well as their current interpersonal dynamics. In my experience, people often come into therapy when they are stuck between repeating behaviors that are unhelpful or even dangerous, and not knowing what to do differently, or even how to make a change in their lives, despite knowing that they don't want to keep doing what they are doing. That is when someone like myself meets someone like yourself, and we work together to find a new path forward.
