Grief counselors and therapists in Pennsylvania

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating stress, overthinking, self-doubt boundaries, and the impacts of trauma. I hold a postgraduate trauma certificate from Widener University and am certified in Mindfulness Fundamentals. I integrate this into my work to support meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of my practice, you can usually find me walking/hiking/running or reading.

Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

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 bring your goals and strengths and I’ll bring a fresh perspective and tools that empower. Integrating mindfulness, creative arts, or your spiritual practices enhances my pragmatic, behavioral approach. Bonus: Free weekly women’s virtual group forming.

Hello, My name is Paula Crawford, I am a licensed professional counselor, My belief as a therapist is that each individual has the right and responsibility to live a life in wholeness! Yes, life always is lif-ing and sometimes we need an objective partner/facilitator to join on the journey. Sometimes, we can only make sense of our choices and decisions through self-reflection. Other times, we need support with healing. Therapy can be that space. Please feel free to review my bio and if you feel we could be a good fit, reach out to me.

Wishing you a blessed and productive day today!

My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Whether you're a parent worried about your teen or a young adult trying to navigate life's challenges, you don't have to face them alone. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, school stress, grief, trauma, and major life transitions can leave you feeling stuck or like you've lost confidence in yourself. I'm Sylvia Bella. I help teens and young adults build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, heal from difficult experiences, and feel more like themselves again.

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and I'm honored to be part of that journey. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely safe and accepted, so we can do meaningful work together.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but it does not have to be. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very first session. I am known for being down-to-earth, genuine, and easy to talk to. I have several years of experience providing family therapy and working with individuals facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and flexible, allowing us to work together to identify goals and develop practical strategies that support meaningful change.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.

Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and certified Perinatal Therapist. I work with women 18-65 years old with a focus on the perinatal period and motherhood.

I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.

My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.

Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.

Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.
