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.
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.
Hello! As a licensed professional counselor, I want to help you achieve your best self. Asking for help can be difficult, so it's great that you are looking into getting help. I have been in practice for 10 years and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Hi! I'm Tia, and I'd love to help you achieve your goals!
I have over a decade of experience working with children and adults in various treatment settings (school, home-based, prison, and in outpatient clinics, etc). I also specialize in treating problematic sexual behaviors, impulse control issues, anti-social personality traits, and violent behaviors.
I believe everyone has the opportunity to change, and I'd love to help you throughout your journey!

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding couples therapists in Philadelphia starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A strong profile should make it clear how the therapist works with both partners and what kinds of relationship concerns they support.
In a large city like Philly, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near Center City, South Philly, University City, or another neighborhood that works for both schedules. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a time that fits two calendars. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples. Reading bios closely can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, approach, and experience with relationship counseling in Philadelphia.
Couples therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for couples therapists in Philadelphia who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person care, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can review therapist profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
