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.

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 Mental Health Therapist in West Chester, PA

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.
