Beth Ungaro

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Doylestown, PA


Hello and welcome! I’m Beth, and I’m so glad you’re here and have taken the important first step toward self-care. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. You may be feeling like you've lost motivation or that your emotions have taken over, or perhaps you're worried about a child. Whatever challenges you're facing, EVERYONE deserves to lead a meaningful life. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can confront their struggles, find empowerment, and regain a sense of security to start living their best lives.

As a highly sensitive person (HSP) with strong empathy, I understand the importance of compassion. I'm a down-to-earth person who has my own struggles, just like everyone else. I have two children: a son who recently got married and a daughter currently in college. Between my family, including my husband, we certainly know how to drive each other crazy! I love spending time outdoors in nature, as it helps me stay balanced. The tools and strategies I share with my clients are ones I’ve used in my own life, and I believe my experiences as a therapist, educator, mother, wife, daughter, and friend make me a relatable ally for those I work with.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent the first 20 years of my career as a school teacher in Philadelphia. During that time, I was privy to many difficult situations in my students' homes, including various forms of abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, the education system's main focus was on meeting academic standards, leaving little room to address the mental health challenges these children faced. I did my best to support them both academically and emotionally. Over time, I realized what my true calling was and I resigned from teaching to pursue a graduate degree in mental health counseling.

Erica Boncella

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a compassionate, approachable, and nonjudgmental therapist who strives to create a safe and supportive environment for every client. During our first session, I make it a priority to emphasize that therapy is a space free from judgment and blame. As human beings, we all experience challenges, setbacks, and mistakes throughout our lives, and I believe these experiences are a natural part of personal growth.

While I serve in the role of therapist, I do not view myself as superior to those I work with. Instead, I value collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful progress occurs when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment.

Honesty and transparency are central to my practice. Together, we will develop individualized goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and aspirations rather than pursuing a predetermined or "easy" path. I recognize that no one has all the answers, and I am committed to being honest when I do not know something. In those instances, I will make every effort to seek out accurate information and resources to best support your growth and well-being.

My goal is to work alongside you as a partner in your journey, helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

It’s exhausting to live a life that feels more like a performance than an experience. You may feel heavy with the weight of "doing"—meeting expectations while losing the quiet essence of "being." Whether navigating the hollow ache of loss, the fog of depression, or the echoes of trauma, I know how it feels to be a stranger to yourself. Therapy begins when you decide you can no longer just "push through." We move forward by creating space for your pain to be heard. It's a journey of reclamation: stripping away the noise to rediscover the resilient, authentic soul that has been waiting for you all along.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Philadelphia

Searching for therapists in Philadelphia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, West Philly, and Northeast Philadelphia, therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want support with. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or strength-based care.

Philadelphia has many therapists, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person therapy near work, home, campus, or a transit route, or virtual therapy that fits your schedule from home. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles closely can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Philadelphia therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and schedule directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
