Grief counselors and therapists in Pennsylvania

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I support clients in gently unpacking the thoughts and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety and depression, while offering empathy and practical tools along the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’ll work through it together.

Hello and welcome! My name is Julie Buttram, I am an LPC in Pennsylvania, and received my degree from La Salle University. I have 10 years of experience working with a diverse population of individuals in outpatient therapy. The people I have worked with have come from all walks of life, many cultural experiences and identities, and across all ages (from 2 - 80 years of age).

I believe therapy works best when it doesn't feel like talking to a robot with a checklist. I'm a real person who understands that life gets messy, and I create a space where we can navigate that messiness together.

As a licensed mental health counselor with over eight years of experience, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, life adjustments, chronic stress, and burnout. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with a human-centered perspective that sees you as a whole person with your own unique story.

I received my degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and have been in private practice since 2016. This experience has shaped my practical, collaborative approach to therapy.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.

I am a licensed therapist with a PhD in psychology, focused on using dialogue and healthy relationships to help people learn and heal from difficult experiences. With 15+ years experience, I bring a sense of gentleness and confidence to my work.

I'm Nakia, a licensed clinical social worker and medical social worker since 2013. After experiencing loss at a young age, it was a school counselor who helped me finally process that grief. The way she showed up for me is exactly why I do this work. My calling in life is to show up for people when they need me most, the way that counselor showed up for me when I needed it most. I am here to help you navigate through life's happenings, and I would love to be that person for you.
