I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

Finding the right support can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to figure it out alone. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma, and I bring warmth and genuine care to every conversation we have. My goal is to build a space where you feel heard before anything else happens. I see care as a partnership, so I invite you to share what matters most to you, and together we will shape a plan that fits your life. Whatever brought you here today, I am glad you took this step toward feeling better.

Hi there, I'm Darcie! I'm a licensed professional counselor at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC specializing in trauma and PTSD management. I've provided care for over 11 years supporting, teens and adults through grief, substance use, Autism, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and stress management, and depression.

Through personal grief, I understand that loss is not something you just get over. It changes you. Healing begins with support, time, and space to actively grieve and nurture your wellbeing.

I understand how complicated life can become where one day we stop, look around, and think what happened, how did I get here. Together we can untangle those knots.

Lockeisha Johnson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pittsburgh, PA


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.

Terry Pryor

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

Dr. Steffy Mathew

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, panic attacks, stress, and burnout. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent more than 12 years as a registered nurse and 3 years as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner in acute care. That background means I look at the whole picture: sleep, physical health, current medications, and life stressors, not just symptoms. Many clients come to me feeling stuck or unsure where to start. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again, with a clear plan you understand and agree with. Virtual appointments are available across Pennsylvania, often within the same week.
