Hello, My name is Paula Crawford, I am a licensed professional counselor, My belief as a therapist is that each individual has the right and responsibility to live a life in wholeness! Yes, life always is lif-ing and sometimes we need an objective partner/facilitator to join on the journey. Sometimes, we can only make sense of our choices and decisions through self-reflection. Other times, we need support with healing. Therapy can be that space. Please feel free to review my bio and if you feel we could be a good fit, reach out to me.
Wishing you a blessed and productive day today!

Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.
I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!

Frequently asked questions
Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding the right therapist in Philadelphia starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or whether you'd benefit from a broader conversation with a licensed provider. Therapists hold different credentials — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or PsyD — and many specialize in specific approaches or populations. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your options faster.
Philadelphia offers a wide range of mental health care providers across neighborhoods like Center City, University City, Fishtown, and South Philadelphia. When comparing providers, look at their training, areas of focus, and whether they offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what to expect in a first session.
Cost is one of the most common barriers to starting therapy, but using your insurance can make a significant difference. Many Philadelphia-area providers accept major insurance plans, which can bring your per-session cost down considerably. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see an estimated session cost before you book — so you know what to expect from the start.
