My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Joni Sturgill

Joni Sturgill

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My work blends traditional counseling with mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and body-based practices, so clients don’t just talk about their challenges—they develop practical tools to handle them in real life.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and am also an experienced yoga and meditation teacher (ERYT-500). I’ve spent years integrating Eastern philosophy and modern psychology into a grounded, accessible approach that helps people feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices.

I specialize in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally stressed, and are looking for more than coping—they want clarity, purpose, and a better way to move through life.

My approach is both practical and reflective. I focus on two key areas: helping you regulate your nervous system so you feel more steady day to day, and helping you shift your perspective so you can respond to life more intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot.

I’ve also developed and led a mindfulness-based program used in schools, healthcare systems, and organizations, with measurable outcomes in stress reduction, emotional regulation, and focus .

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, we’ll likely be a good fit.

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.
