Susan Lambert

Susan Lambert

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a 58 yo mother of three college age daughters

I am a reflective and thoughtful( aka sensitive) person who uses art to seek deeper insight

I value knowledge , hard work, kindness and consideration above all else....

If I find myself on a certain lake in Maine , I am in heaven

I encourage others to find a similar place where, they too,, find the true self (and a spirit animal)!

Since I usually take the road less traveled , it has made all the difference to me because, the harder path contained many personal challenges

Had I have taken the more traveled road , I would not be nearly as interesting or as resilient as I am today

Dogs and horses have always been by my side and they never disappoint

They have been my wisest teachers and have shown me the path to simplicity, contentment and unconditional love

For that am thankful ❤️

Happy patient looking away

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 Pennsylvania

> Searching for therapists in Pennsylvania starts with finding care that matches your needs, location, and insurance. Pennsylvania has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural communities, so available options can vary by area. You may want support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Pennsylvania therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that align with what you want to discuss in care. > > Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Philadelphia may offer different appointment options than one in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, or a smaller Pennsylvania community. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or access to more therapists across the state. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, whether they are accepting new patients, their approach to sessions, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. > > The cost of therapy in Pennsylvania can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare profiles in one place. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to see new patients.

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