Therapist

I'm Sharon, an LCSW with over 30 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, and life's harder chapters. I'm certified in EMDR - an evidence-based approach that's especially powerful for trauma, PTSD, and anxiety that feels stuck - and I bring that alongside CBT, mindfulness, and a genuinely warm style. I see clients in person in Chadds Ford and online across Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Whether you're a teen struggling with school and identity or an adult who's exhausted from holding everything together, you'll find this a safe, collaborative space to actually breathe.

Barbara-Lee Catania

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 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.

Paula Crawford

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Philadelphia, PA


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!
