Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Philadelphia, PA
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who helps adults navigate life’s pressures with more clarity and balance. I have a special passion for supporting women, and I also work with men managing depression, anxiety, or relationship concerns. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative, and I use an integrative CBT approach to guide our work. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped to move toward the life you want.
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.
Areas of Expertise & Passion
Children & Adolescents: I spent ten years working with students facing a wide range of challenges, including autism, anxiety, oppositional defiance disorder (ODD), and emotional disturbances. I understand the unique pressures of the school environment and am passionate about helping kids find their footing and flourish.
Young Adults: The transition into adulthood can feel like navigating without a map. I help young adults build the confidence they need to define their own version of success and tackle the "what comes next" with resilience.
Mothers & Postpartum Support: Motherhood is a profound transformation, often accompanied by overwhelming stressors. I provide a supportive space for postpartum moms and those juggling the relentless demands of family life to find balance, reclaim their identity, and prioritize their mental well-being.
My philosophy: I believe every individual deserves a space where they are fully seen and heard. My mission is to provide that safety while empowering you to reach the milestones that matter most to you.If you’re looking for a partner in your journey toward growth—or a steady hand for your child—I’m here to help. Let’s get to work.
Even after 2 decides of supporting people, I'm even more inspired by those that seek support. I sincerely believe in the likelihood of improving.

I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences.

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!
I am a seasoned clinician and have worked in several outpatient and residential settings with diverse client populations, with a particular interest in geriatric, special needs and LGBTQ+ communities. I attended Earlham College and the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Masters in Social Work in 1993. Often, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and humanistic therapy in my work with clients. I believe in the ability of each individual to grow and make lasting changes.
