I would clients to know that I strive to provide education, support and cheer leading for my clients, and that I deliver therapy to each person with gratitude and respect. I have a Master of Arts degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, which helped me to develop an approach by identifying strengths and resources, helping to create realistic goals and making necessary changes. I have been practicing for 31 years and I know that I will never know everything.

I have a heart for maternal mental health and reproductive mental health. This can include Infertility, pregnancy and post partum mood disorders, perinatal hospice, surrogacy screenings, pregnancy and infant loss, teen pregnancy, crisis pregnancy, abortion, menopause. We have a maternal mental health crisis in our country and I hope to help alleviate that.

I am also passionate about supporting bariatric patients in their weight loss journey. I am the proud owner of a gastric sleeve. I lost 150 pounds ten years ago and am keeping it off.

Karla Joyce

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


More than a decade into this work, I've sat with a lot of different kinds of pain — anxiety that doesn't quiet down, grief that doesn't follow a schedule, depression that dulls everything, and the particular exhaustion of being a woman navigating a world that asks a great deal of you. I became a therapist because I believe you shouldn't have to white-knuckle your way through hard seasons alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Pittsburgh, and I work with adults, teens, and seniors across Pennsylvania via telehealth. I'm direct, I'm warm, and I take this work seriously.

Therapist

Virtual • Philadelphia, PA


If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.

Jessica Bell

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.


I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.


I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

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.
