I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, and other mental health conditions using evidence-based psychopharmacology tailored to each individual’s needs.

Therapist

Finding the right therapist can feel like a leap of faith — especially when you've spent years wondering if anyone will truly get you. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, or carrying weight you've never said out loud, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning. That matters here. You are not too much. You are not too complicated. And you don't have to perform wellness to be worthy of support.

Chris Walter

Chris Walter

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I became a therapist because I find people genuinely fascinating, specifically how we each experience ourselves, life, and reality, and how we approach living – our inner process. That curiosity has driven more than 20 years of clinical & spiritual work with adults navigating trauma, sexuality, spirituality, expanded states of consciousness, depression, anxiety, identity, grief, men's issues, and major life transitions. Currently, I run my private practice while also directing and teaching in a graduate Counseling Psychology program.

Dr. Pamela Kennebrew

Therapist

Virtual • Haverford, PA


I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.
