Grief counselors and therapists in Newtown Square, PA

Life doesn't always fall apart all at once. Sometimes it shifts — slowly or suddenly — and you find yourself standing in the middle of something you didn't plan for, not quite sure how to find your footing again.

I work with adults — particularly women — who are navigating major life transitions: divorce, career change, grief and loss, identity shifts, postpartum challenges, relationship changes, and the complex process of figuring out who you are when everything around you has changed.

My name is Nadine Cramer, and I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for over 22 years. I'm licensed in both Ohio and Pennsylvania and see clients throughout both states via telehealth. Over the course of my career I've worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient community mental health, and private practice. I've facilitated groups for postpartum depression, anger management, alcohol and substance use recovery, and cognitive restructuring — and I've brought everything I've learned in those settings into my private practice work.

Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.

Anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate them alone. I am a PA licensed psychologist with broad experience supporting adolescents, adults, seniors, veterans, and families through mental health challenges, chronic illness, life transitions, and loss. I also consider cultural and religious values throughout treatment.

As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges.

My professional focus encompasses trauma recovery, mood disorders, military and veteran mental health, and life stage transitions including divorce, grief, and end-of-life counseling. As a former firefighter in the Baltimore area, I bring a deep expertise in addressing posttraumatic stress, first responder mental health, and traumatic brain injury. My approach centers on understanding each individual's unique journey, offering compassionate support for those experiencing stress, anxiety, and emotional complexity.

With a commitment to holistic healing, I work closely with clients to develop resilience, process challenging experiences, and rediscover personal strength. Whether supporting veterans, first responders, or individuals facing significant life changes, I provide a supportive, understanding environment where healing and growth can flourish.

My therapeutic practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches that honor each client's individual experience and potential for transformation.

While I have experience in treating substance use, anxiety, and mood disorders, most of my training is in addressing and helping folks to heal from past trauma. To that end, in addition to my Master's degree, I hold the following certificates as proof of my clinical training: Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies, Certification in Prolonged Exposure for the Treatment of PTSD, and I am an EMDR Trained Clinician. I primarily provide individual counseling for adults (ages 18+).
