Kristen English

Kristen English

Psychologist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with 23 years of counseling experience with adults of all ages, from late-adolescence and across the lifespan.

My practice focuses on helping individuals develop personally meaningful ways of navigating anxiety and depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, time-of-life transitions, and identity development. These therapeutic partnerships often involve identity-affirming explorations of racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA, and neuro-diversity matters within clients’ lives.

Helping clients feels safe, regarded, and at ease... I work hard to understand what each individual needs from me to feel these things at the forefront of our relationship.

I feel really confident in my empathic attunement toward clients as I authentically connect with each individual. I prioritize creating a shared space of sincerity as clients begin telling me their stories.

And what an honor it is, helping clients share their narratives in a manner that highlights their courage and resilience, as well as their yearning and needs.

As we begin to explore and understand all of these things, we hone in on each client’s inner resources and external supports — identifying these things and figuring out how each individual client can feel most empowered in themselves.

Jordyn Block

Jordyn Block

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've had the privilege of working with adults from many different backgrounds and stages of life. My experience includes supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, personality disorders, relationship concerns, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and those requiring crisis intervention or suicide prevention services. Much of my clinical work has been in higher-acuity settings, giving me experience helping people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that people are far more than a diagnosis or the most difficult chapter of their lives. Every person has a unique story, strengths, and experiences, and I believe therapy should reflect that. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood without judgment. Clients often describe me as genuine, approachable, and direct. I believe in having honest conversations while also offering compassion, support, and practical guidance. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
