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!
People connect for a reason! As an established Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012 and Certified Nature-Informed Therapist since 2022, I have come to believe that genuine, natural connections shape the best path for forward movement. With 20+ years in the mental health field, I have gained very much experience that has allowed me to make these types of connections with my clients. The various mindful and grounding techniques I utilize can be especially helpful for people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and dysregulated nervous systems.
Dr. Aubria Nance (SHE/HER), a native of Philadelphia, has a solution-focused approach to helping others overcome personal obstacles, make life transitions, survive, and thrive using empathy, reflective listening, and humor. She is unapologetically human, honest, and optimistic. Aubria truly cares for her clients and works collaboratively to help them achieve their goals. She aspires to inspire you toward greatness, however you define it.
Finding the right therapist is about finding a balance between someone who truly "gets" it and someone who can help you map out the way forward. I’ve dedicated my career to being both a safe harbor and a catalyst for growth. My approach is rooted in deep empathy, but I am also firmly goal-oriented. Whether we are navigating a specific diagnosis or a difficult life transition, I believe that therapy should provide you with both a sense of peace and a clear sense of direction.

Hi! My name is Nicole Vanderwerff. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a focus in trauma-informed care. I received my Bachelor of Social Work from East Carolina and my Master of Social Work from the University of Louisville. I have experience working with clients of all ages.
Hello! I am a nurse practitioner (NP) who is experienced in both Psychiatry and Primary Care. Before graduating with my MSN and Adult Primary Care NP program in 2015, I was a RN for 9 years in the hospital setting. While working in Psychiatry starting in 2022, I decided to pursue my Post-Master’s certification in Psychiatric Mental Health NP and graduated in April of 2024.
I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.
Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Philadelphia
Searching for ADHD therapists in Philadelphia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. ADHD therapy may focus on executive function, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, communication, or building systems that fit your day-to-day life. Medication management is different and is usually provided by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are searching for ADHD therapy for yourself, a child, or a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties to see whether they work with adult ADHD, pediatric ADHD, anxiety, depression, or related concerns.
Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Fishtown, which can make the search broader than it needs to be. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, campus, or public transit. Virtual appointments can also expand your options if your schedule changes often or you want to meet from a private space. As you compare ADHD counseling options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their communication style, experience with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
ADHD therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
