Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives. I blend therapy with real-world strategies so clients can create meaningful, lasting change.
Please note: My practice is currently focused on individual therapy, and I am not accepting new couples at this time.
I have been practicing therapy for several years (licensed for almost 2) and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I enjoy hearing people's stories and watching them change and progress in many different ways. I like to ask questions, but am not afraid to challenge something or make a joke at times. I have worked in the drug and alcohol field for several years and in that field I encountered many different mental health conditions.
I enjoy working with individuals and families of various ages and stages of life, and helping them navigate the current challenges they are facing. I received my Masters in Family Therapy from Drexel University, am a LMFT, and have been practicing for 8 years.
I strongly believe that everyone deserves to feel validated and to have their story truly heard. I understand—both personally and professionally—how essential it is to have a safe space where you are taken seriously in order to create meaningful movement and change in your life. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals and families in both therapeutic and life coaching settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients of diverse ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses, and I bring that depth of experience into every session.
Hi, I'm Caterina — an LCSW based in the Philadelphia area offering telehealth sessions to adults across Pennsylvania. My path to this work isn't typical: I spent years on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, supporting people through acute mental health crises and some of the most difficult chapters a person can face. That experience shaped me into a clinician who knows how to stay calm, stay present, and stay with you — even when things get hard.
I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, substance use and recovery, life transitions, health conditions, trauma, women's issues, and the kind of chronic stress that makes it hard to recognize yourself anymore. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I bring my full attention to every session — and I meet you exactly where you are, not where I think you should be.
Hi there and welcome. My name is Anita and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently providing virtual therapy to individuals residing in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years, and currently specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, traumatic life experience, disordered eating and substance use recovery. I also have significant experience working with diverse cultural populations and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.
I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 23 years of professional experience dedicated to serving individuals from diverse , cultures, and life circumstances. Throughout my career, I have had the privileege of helping people navigate a wide range of personal, emotional, and behavioral challenges, fostering resilience, growth, and meaningful change. My work is grounded in compassion, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding each person's unique experiences and strengths. I am passionate about creating a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered as they work toward their goals and imprve well-being,.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding the right therapist in Philadelphia starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or whether you'd benefit from a broader conversation with a licensed provider. Therapists hold different credentials — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or PsyD — and many specialize in specific approaches or populations. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your options faster.
Philadelphia offers a wide range of mental health care providers across neighborhoods like Center City, University City, Fishtown, and South Philadelphia. When comparing providers, look at their training, areas of focus, and whether they offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what to expect in a first session.
Cost is one of the most common barriers to starting therapy, but using your insurance can make a significant difference. Many Philadelphia-area providers accept major insurance plans, which can bring your per-session cost down considerably. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see an estimated session cost before you book — so you know what to expect from the start.
