Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Newtown Square, PA

Welcome. I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences at your own pace.

I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Many of my clients are people who have spent years caring for others while neglecting their own needs and are now ready to begin prioritizing their healing and personal growth.

My approach is integrative and personalized because I believe every person’s story and healing journey is unique. I incorporate supportive therapy, trauma-focused care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Together, we will work to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process painful experiences with care and intention, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your strengths and sense of self. I believe healing happens not only through insight, but also through feeling empowered, supported, and genuinely accepted.

Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life or seeking deeper self-understanding and growth, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and balance.

Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.

Let’s be honest — life doesn’t come with a manual. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone.

Hi, I’m Tammy — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a courtroom. It’s more like a conversation with someone who really gets it (and happens to be trained in evidence-based strategies that actually work).

I love what I do, and I know why I do it. Since 2007 my focus has been coming along side of people and assisting them with challenges they face in life to become the most authentic and genuine person they were meant to be. In my own journey I've come to accept and appreciate the gifts I've been given, even if they're seemingly unrelated. I love my work as a therapist and I will always be passionate about performing music. How the two coexist within me is the journey I'm on. My focus has been in becoming a better therapist each day ... but I also know I'll never stop playing guitar and performing music, it's part of who I am.

I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Social Work, bringing together doctoral-level research and extensive clinical experience to provide evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and families in Pennsylvania and Delaware. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, body image concerns, disordered eating, and eating disorder recovery.

My clinical background includes working closely with children, teens, and families in both mental health and medical settings, which has shaped my understanding of how emotional wellbeing is influenced by stress, family relationships, identity development, and the pressures many young people carry every day. I also understand that struggles with food, body image, anxiety, and self-worth often show up quietly at first—and deserve compassionate, thoughtful support.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, nonjudgmental, and genuinely supportive. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-criticism, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help clients feel understood while building the insight, coping skills, and confidence needed to make meaningful change.

I’m also a doctoral candidate in Social Work, which reflects my commitment to providing evidence-informed care that is both thoughtful and deeply personalized. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, body image challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, or simply feeling unlike yourself lately, therapy can be a place to feel grounded, supported, and empowered.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and I’ve been working in mental health since 2007. My background includes inpatient and outpatient therapy, drug and alcohol treatment, correctional settings, foster care, and work with children and families. This diverse experience allows me to approach each person with understanding, flexibility, and care.

I help individuals and couples navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and personal struggles so they can build confidence, find clarity, and create meaningful change. My passion for counseling began after seeing a family member face mental health challenges, which showed me the importance of having a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you recognize your strengths, develop new tools, and move forward with greater hope.

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist providing services in both English and Spanish, I offer a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space where adults can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Together, we will explore how past experiences may be impacting your current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self while building practical tools to help you move forward.
