Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.9 mi away • Downingtown, PA


I offer individual psychotherapy for all adults, but specialize in working with those navigating the intersection of neurocomplexities such as ADHD, Autism, OCD, and complex trauma. Many of my clients have experienced years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or “too much,” often without a clear understanding of how their brain and nervous system work. My approach is both trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, helping clients build self-understanding, regulate their nervous systems, and move toward a greater sense of stability, clarity, and self-trust.

Barbara-Lee Catania

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7 mi away • Exton, PA


I began my career working with substance use disorders and mental health disorders in 2006. The first 13 years of my career were centered on helping individuals and families recover from substance use disorders which often included co-morbid mental health disorders. The latter part of my career has been primarily focused on women’s health. I have specialized in helping to support women who are facing infertility, loss or miscarriage, perinatal and postpartum mood shifts. I truly enjoy supporting women while they navigate motherhood and all that this brings. I work with men and women age 18 and up.

I use a holistic approach to therapy with a focus in the following areas of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems. In this work, I love to help people heal and grow in their relationship with self and others. I am a trauma informed therapist who is skilled in treating PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, and Mood Disorders.

I am a certified yoga teacher, and I believe it is important to incorporate the body into therapy. I incorporate body centered techniques to help people engage with their nervous system and take back control of their stress response. Whether you or a loved one is struggling with ongoing mood disorder symptoms or are going through a difficult life experience I can help to empower you to feel more grounded and more confident in your ability to manage hard times. By changing our thoughts and behaviors we can improve our relationship with ourselves as well as with those around us.

Hi! My name is Amber Cardemil. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. I am passionate about working with individuals and families to make treatment a collaborative process. I have experience in providing treatment for eating disorders, food-related concerns and co-occurring conditions. I am a Health at Every Size Healthcare Provider, trained and experienced across all levels of care (inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment). I have worked in various capacities (admission, assessment, individual, family, group therapy) that informs my work with clients. I work together with clients to find the best approach to each case drawing from evidence-based treatments that work. I have great appreciation for the need to understand individual and family psychodynamics and enjoy working with everyone I encounter. I have extensive training in Family Based Treatment for adolescents who struggle with Anorexia Nervosa. I work to empower families to serve as an ally in their loved one’s recovery. I am flexible in my treatment approach and I utilize empirical evidence for treatment effectiveness. I believe in working from a multidisciplinary approach through working closely with other health care providers and caregivers to achieve best treatment outcomes. In addition to treating eating disorders, I am also passionate about working with mental health concerns related to anxiety, depression and life transitions.

I don't even know what I'd say.”

If that is what is stopping you, you are exactly who I work with. Maybe you are anxious and cannot name why. Maybe your feelings come faster than you can handle. Maybe you have tried therapy and left feeling like you failed at it.

You didn't. It just wasn't built for you.

So we start differently. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we move or create. Then we build skills that hold up when things get hard.

The goal is not to make you easier. It is to help you feel more like yourself.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Philadelphia, PA


There are people who the rest of the world thinks are doing great (or were, until some life-altering change occurred)—people who are giving so much and trying so hard. But somehow it’s never enough.

If this describes you, let's talk. My clients tend to be people who care for others, like teachers, activists, nurses and clergy. However, I also work with a lot of people who are just overwhelmed by the state of the world.

I welcome those who are skeptical about therapy. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in West Chester

Searching for therapists in West Chester starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a West Chester therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

West Chester is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Pennsylvania while still giving you access to licensed therapists who may fit your needs. As you narrow your search for therapy in West Chester, PA, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in West Chester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person sessions, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
