Family therapy and counseling in Pennsylvania

I have spent most of my professional life helping people manage stress, burnout, trauma, change, and the general emotional chaos that comes with being human. With a background spanning clinical counseling, higher education, leadership development, special education, and mental health advocacy, I bring both deep expertise and genuine relatability to the therapy process. I have presented nationally on topics like compassion fatigue, resilience, and trauma, but believe some of the best therapeutic work still happens in simple, honest conversations where people finally feel heard.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, I'll meet you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical support. With more than 13 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults across diverse settings, helping people navigate trauma, addiction, life transitions, and a wide range of mental health challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself and supported enough to move forward.

Greetings and thank you for stopping by my profile, I am Lidia. In my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space to slow down and reconnect with your inner resilience. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your experiences, honor your emotions, and build practical strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or a sense of disconnection, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity as you create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults on a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also have a special interest in supporting clients with eating disorders, body image, and body positivity, including HAES approaches, and offer family-based support when helpful. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.

I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression
• Trauma-related experiences
• Grief and loss
• Burnout and compassion fatigue
• Life transitions
• Self-Esteem
• Relationship and family patterns

Tired of reading the same cookie cutter bio? I'll keep it short:

I graduated from UPenn 10+ yrs ago w/ a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death.

Reaching out for help is a courageous first step—one you should be proud of.

I am a trauma-informed, Jungian-oriented psychotherapist with analytic training. My work is grounded in depth psychology and an understanding of how past experiences shape present patterns.

I specialize in personality disorders and am certified in this area, as well as in grief work. Anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges are often interconnected with these concerns and are an integral part of the work we do together.

I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.

I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.

I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

Being a teenager can be overwhelming. School pressure, friendships, family expectations, anxiety, ADHD, and figuring out who you are can all pile up quickly. With a background in school counseling, I understand how academic, social, and emotional challenges often overlap. I work with teens to create a space where they can feel heard without judgment, better understand what they’re experiencing, and build confidence and practical skills for navigating everyday life.
