Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pennsylvania

Hi, I'm Caterina — an LCSW based in the Philadelphia area offering telehealth sessions to adults across Pennsylvania. My path to this work isn't typical: I spent years on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, supporting people through acute mental health crises and some of the most difficult chapters a person can face. That experience shaped me into a clinician who knows how to stay calm, stay present, and stay with you — even when things get hard.

I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, substance use and recovery, life transitions, health conditions, trauma, women's issues, and the kind of chronic stress that makes it hard to recognize yourself anymore. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I bring my full attention to every session — and I meet you exactly where you are, not where I think you should be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and clinically grounded environment for individuals and families navigating life’s most difficult challenges. Since earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2004, I have spent over 15 years helping people move from places of uncertainty and pain toward clarity, resilience, and confidence.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in supporting people through trauma, PTSD, and life transitions. My style is authentic and centered on your story, your strengths, and your goals. I use practical, evidenced-based tools to help you process hard memories and take small, steady steps toward feeling better. Most of all, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself and move forward at your own pace.

I have more than 15 years of experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while fostering strong therapeutic relationships with my patients.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from York College of Pennsylvania in 2005, my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Drexel University in 2016, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University in 2025.

In addition to my clinical practice, I currently serve as the Director of the Nurse Practitioner Program at York College of Pennsylvania. In this role, I am dedicated to preparing the next generation of advanced practice nurses while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.

I am passionate about empowering patients through education and shared decision-making. By building meaningful rapport and taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs, I help children, adolescents, and adults explore personalized treatment options and make informed decisions about their mental health care

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and my path into this work comes from a genuine desire to help people feel understood and supported during some of their hardest moments. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has shown me how complex mental health can be, so I approach each client with empathy, patience, and respect for their individual story. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, and mood disorders.

I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.

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.

Thank you so much for reaching out and considering me to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you do more than just get through the day—I want to help you truly thrive. As a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Pennsylvania, I specialize in solution-oriented care designed to help you navigate things like anxiety, depression, and work stress with a renewed sense of self-acceptance.

I’m Rob Pompa, an LCSW providing affirming online therapy throughout Pennsylvania. I work especially well with gay men, LGBTQ+ adults, people living with HIV, cancer survivors, and those navigating chronic illness or medical trauma. I bring 20 years of clinical and professional experience, including more than a decade in HIV services. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and grounded in humor without minimizing what you have survived

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.

I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
