I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.
I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.
I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been helping children, teenagers, and adults for over 25 years. My primary areas of specialization are anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and coping, and ADHD. I believe we all are doing the best we can with the resources we have available. I provide an open, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to be your authentic self.
At my core, I am a humanist, existentialist, and a proponent of unconditional self-compassion. I have a strong skill set working with older teens and young adults but love working with all humans in general. Other therapeutic areas of strength would be trauma, personality disorders, gender and sexuality, parenting, relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.
Hi! My name is Mara, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have spent the last 15 years learning how to see, understand, and support people from all different walks of life. I specialize in working with adults, and have special areas of interest in working with those who see themselves as neurodiverse. I received my Master's Degree through the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky, and was able to complete hands-on training at West Virginia University in their embedded counseling services on the Health Sciences Campus.
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. With over a decade of experience navigating the complexities of the school system—from the classroom to the counseling office and special education therapy—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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Philadelphia, PA
Finding postpartum therapists in Philadelphia starts with choosing someone whose experience matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training in perinatal mental health, listed experience with pregnancy and postpartum care, or credentials like PMH-C, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, who they commonly work with, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a large city like Philadelphia, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near Center City, South Philly, West Philly, or another neighborhood, especially when factoring in transit, parking, or time between appointments. Virtual therapy can also be a practical option for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if the fit is right.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find postpartum therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
