As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience, I provide culturally sensitive care to those navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
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.
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.
Hi there! My name is Angelique. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor, working with clients virtually in the State of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. More importantly, I am a fiercely dedicated advocate for your healing. My formal training and background in substance use treatment spaces have led to an expertise of with individuals in recovery from alcohol or substance use, and addictive behaviors (gambling, shopping, relationships, etc). I also specialize in working with women who are looking to achieve goals of self improvement, navigate difficult life transitions, relationship or family strain, and questions of identity along the way. Wherever you're starting from, I will support you, celebrate your wins, and work hard to get you to where you need to go.
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.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life stressors, and other emotional challenges. I also have extensive expertise in the assessment and management of suicide risk. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you are experiencing while we work together to identify practical, evidence-based ways to help you feel and function better.
For more than two decades, I served as a psychologist in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). During my time there, I conducted comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, provided individual and group therapy, and developed treatment plans for adolescents and families experiencing a wide range of psychiatric and emotional concerns. I also co-developed the Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CHAMP), a specialized clinical program focused on evaluating and treating young people with mood disorders.
My work at CHOP gave me particularly deep experience helping adolescents and families navigate depression, mood disorders, anxiety, emotional distress, and complex mental health concerns. It also reinforced the importance of understanding what is happening not only from the patient's perspective, but within the broader context of family, school, relationships, development, and everyday life.
In addition to my clinical work, I have an extensive background in academic research, including research involving youth mood disorders and perinatal depression. I have also supervised and trained psychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and psychiatry residents.
Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.
I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
Hi, I’m Chinenye Nwachukwu, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping each individual achieve emotional wellness and improved quality of life.
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to empower you and your family with the tools and guidance needed to navigate life's challenges and build lasting resilience.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and wellness—one step at a time.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, the impact of a medical diagnosis and parenting issues. I have worked with children and families in a medical setting for over 20 years. I have also worked closely with individuals and families who have been touched by cancer. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect. I believe you are the expert of your life. We are all unique and have our own strengths.
As a health services professional, I use a trauma-informed and culturally aware approach to assessment, treatment planning, and interventions. My background providing behavioral health services in schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, psychological services clinics, and outpatient mental health centers allows me to connect to clients with a variety of mental health needs.
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.
I am a clinical psychologist who utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) framework to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing toward psychological struggles in their lives. I help clients gain more awareness of their internal experiences, such as thought and emotional patterns, so they can accept, change, and ease their experienced pain. Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short and long term goals and values. I work with teenagers, adults, and families on strengthening their emotional regulation, adaptive problem solving, communication, and cognitive coping skills.
Over and above the specific type of therapy I use, there is a main principal that guides all of my therapeutic work, which is establishing a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental and collaborative. I make it a constant goal to have a better understanding of the complex nature of my clients and their surroundings, so that I can help each person through the prism of collaboration and humility. As a psychologist, I feel it is an immense privilege and honor to sit with an individual’s raw emotion and pain, and through therapy, I hope to slow down time and help clients build upon their strengths, continuously enhancing their multifaceted narrative that is life.
