When I began seeing a therapist, I realized just how much I needed an outlet to process hardships in my life and to feel genuinely heard, and this is exactly what I want to provide to clients who come to see me. As I have advanced in my own self-discovery and identity exploration, I have become interested in helping others in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent (specifically autism and ADHD), and disability communities on their own journeys. I believe that having lived experience related to my specialties is a fundamental component to the care I can provide.
I have over 10 years of experience as a counselor and 6 years as a licensed social worker; I'm not new to counseling and the more difficult your situation is, the more excited I am to meet you! It's a privilege to walk with someone during one of life's hardest seasons.
I am client-centered and tailor my work to each individual’s needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based practices. I am attuned to how emotional manipulation and self-doubt take root after toxic relationships, and I work closely with clients to rebuild self-esteem and improve boundaries.
About Me
I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!
I have 15+ years in the psychiatric-mental health field. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and have an additional certification in treating clients with addiction (CARN-AP).
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of medical & behavioral health social work experience supporting a wide range of issues including life transitions, health issues, grief, caregiver stress, and emotional challenges. As an LCSW, I take a whole-person approach - recognizing that our mental health is shaped not just by what's happening inside us, but also by our relationships, environment, culture, and life experiences.

I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Catholic University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As a Latina therapist, I am committed to creating a space that feels culturally responsive and safe. In our sessions I bring a mix of warmth and honesty, paired with evidenced-based approaches all through trauma-informed lens. I am a therapist who believes healing happens when the mind, the soul and body are integrated.
As a board certified and state licensed art therapist, I believe that you know yourself best and everyone's journey is different. I’ve been in the mental health field since 2015. Most of my work has been with people diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety, and depression. Most recently I have had more sessions pertaining to ADHD, relationship conflicts, and grief. Let's learn and grow together.

Since graduating I have worked with clients of all ages including families and couples to help them meet their goals as a team.
Welcome to my practice! My name is Nichola Lydon, and I’m excited to work with you. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Montclair State University.
With over six years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges—including substance use disorders, perinatal mood disorders, and the overwhelming stressors of daily life. Whether you’re struggling with substance use dependency, navigating a difficult transition, or feeling stuck, I’m here to help.
My approach is honest, direct, and always rooted in compassion. I believe in having the tough conversations without judgment—because healing starts with truth, not sugarcoating. My practice is a safe, stigma-free space, where you can feel supported, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Frequently asked questions


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.
