Schedule with Felicia Cadet, LSW

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a licensed social worker, I offer a safe, supportive space to talk through feelings like anxiety, anger, sadness, or self-doubt.

I enjoy working alongside clients to better understand what they’re going through and to develop coping skills that feel realistic and helpful in everyday life. Whether you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or just need someone to listen, we’ll work together at your pace.

Schedule with Jessica Lavallee, LCSW

Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful decision, and my goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring mental health /substance use concerns. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice, therapy should feel both safe and productive. I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, somatic work, and trauma-informed care, which I integrate into my practice. It is an honor to explore your beliefs, values, and goals throughout our therapeutic work together.

I am passionate about the mind-body approach. While working together we can explore the vital connection between the two, and how to prioritize wellness.

I believe therapy is where we get to explore our authentic selves. It is a privilege to be apart of your unique experience.

Schedule with Andrea Talbot, LCSW

My therapeutic focus involves working with adults, adolescents, and couples, and I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community, trauma survivors, and people with personality disorders. I have provided care to clients experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and other mental health struggles in individual and group therapy environments. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with the best opportunity to overcome challenges in their lives through providing them with the tools, setting, and resources that they need to empower them to create change in their lives.

I am currently providing therapy online in Texas and Pennsylvania. The modalities I use within therapeutic practice are CBT, DBT, ACT, strengths based, psychodynamic, and EMDR. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and am versed in providing care for queer and trans clients.

Schedule with Jessica Segal, LCSW

I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress, with a particular focus on perinatal mental health. I bring a warm, empathetic, and supportive presence to the therapeutic space and believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and respected—especially when navigating complex emotions and life challenges. My goal is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts openly and move toward healing and personal growth.

Schedule with Bethany Caldwell, LCSW

Life can throw so much at you. It can feel sometimes like being human is so hard. Trying to keep up with all life demands of you, can leave you giving the world what little is left of you. Exhausted, anxious, weary, or down.. I believe there is a way to strengthen your sense of self, set realistic expectations and boundaries that value your needs, and bring yourself and your loved ones the best of you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space and personal connection to open up the opportunity for you to explore what’s causing strain in your life: grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges. I offer practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

Schedule with Elijah Jackson, LCSW

My clients can expect compassion, cultural competence, and more than just one form of therapeutic support or intervention. My background in therapy, combined with my person-centered approach to wellness, drives my work in helping clients understand, process, reconnect, and ultimately heal from the wounds life has brought them. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where people who may feel overlooked or undervalued can gain confidence, self-love, resilience, and skills to enhance their quality of life. My clients value humor, collaboration, patience, and accountability as the foundation for our relationship.

Schedule with Morgan Haffield, LCSW

I support individuals navigating trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and major life transitions. My style is naturally warm and nurturing, and I focus on creating a safe space where you can reflect on how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. I also offer honest feedback and gentle challenges to support growth. My goal is to help you tune into your internal world, identify your needs, and learn how to voice them—while feeling supported, seen, and met with kindness throughout the process.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a licensed clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in healing and living a bountiful, meaningful life. I work from an integrated approach, drawing from Trauma-focused CBT, Prolonged Exposure, DBT, EFIT, and humanistic theory to tailor care to your individual situation.

Schedule with Sarah Thornburg, MSN, CRNP

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, including 10 years in my current role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am going to risk sounding cliché in saying that there is no job I would rather do. Beginning at University of Delaware for undergrad to Drexel University for my graduate nursing education, I have since worked in settings including hospitals, community based mental health clinics, and private outpatient practices throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond. This variety has shaped my practice and helped me become well-rounded and skilled at treating a range of people and their mental health challenges. My areas of interest include properly identifying and treating mood disorders, helping manage anxiety through well-rounded treatment plans including medication, and diagnosing ADHD and providing guidance on this journey.

Schedule with Linda Philogene, LCSW

I work with individuals navigating challenges who are ready to explore, process, and heal while building resilience and self-confidence. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. Trust can take time, and as we build our relationship, you can expect me to challenge you with empathy and compassion, work at your pace, and help you forge a path that fits you. I practice active listening to reflect on your experiences and support you in having those hard conversations with yourself.

Schedule with Kelly Jude, LCSW

So, the main question: what do you have to GAIN, not lose? Being real: therapy takes courage. However, therapy brings results. Therapy is usually the single best investment you will make for your health. I have had the privilege of supporting numerous people find their way from pain and suffering to growth and hope. I pride myself on being welcoming by using humor and warmth to help your first steps be as smooth as possible. I also am well-balanced in being a listening ear while also providing practical tools. I am here to let you know that RADICAL change and healing is VERY possible, I promise. Let’s talk…

Schedule with Shonda Nixon, PsyD

I provide individual, couple, family, and group therapy to adults and older adolescents (ages 16+). My orientation to treatment is eclectic, which means that I work with clients by incorporating approaches and techniques from various orientations, and tailor them to the specific needs and belief system of each client. I believe that this way of practicing is most useful, because it allows each client to follow his or her unique therapeutic journey.

I particularly enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. My areas of expertise include stress management, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, cultural/race/identity concerns, grief and loss, and trauma.

Schedule with Jane Park, MA

I work with clients who are curious in finding out the How’s and Why’s that are within them. Curiosity leads to learning, and learning paves the way towards growth.

I honor the therapeutic space and time that is created and felt during sessions. I value your trust, vulnerability, and strength.

Asking for help can be one of the most difficult and scariest actions to accomplish, but you are already heading to the right direction by trying, and I am incredibly proud of you.

Schedule with Jordyn Savage, LPC, DMT-BC

I support individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and disconnection from self by creating a warm, safe, and engaging space for growth. My approach blends humor, gentle challenge, and creativity to tailor the therapeutic process to each client’s needs. While I draw from an eclectic toolbox, I primarily use a person-centered and strength-based lens, incorporating movement and somatic techniques to support mind-body integration and lasting change.

Schedule with Samantha Hershey, LMFT

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. I strive to create a trustworthy space for your healing and growth. I view my role as your therapist as being there to help guide and challenge you in your journey to meet your goals. As a Licensed Couple and Family Therapist (LMFT), I focus on treating individuals, couples, and families.

I specialize in working with couples to identify negative relationship patterns and create meaningful change and an increased sense of connection. I have additional expertise in individual and relational trauma treatment, depression, and anxiety.

Schedule with Hoda Ammar, LPC

No matter what events life is throwing your way, I’m here to help you process through any difficult thoughts and emotions that may arise. We can get to the root of the underlying issues and the patterns at hand, so you can navigate these moments with more confidence and understanding in the future.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma, identity and self-concept, grief and loss, family relational problems, and life transitions. I assist my clients in practicing self-compassion and mindfulness techniques to develop a more meaningful relationship with themselves, and be more intentional when interacting with the world around them.

Schedule with Stephanie Lunt, LCSW

I specialize in working with individuals navigating BPD, trauma, and self-harming behaviors—particularly those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. I meet people where they are with honesty, respect, and a non-judgmental presence. Grounded in a holistic, solution-focused lens, I help clients build practical, sustainable strategies for healing. Whether we’re unpacking emotional patterns, setting limits, or sitting with discomfort, my goal is to support your growth with clarity, strength, and self-awareness.

Schedule with Hannah Goor, LCSW

I have over a decade of experience providing therapy across a range of settings. I work with adults navigating anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and life transitions, and I provide affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others, and are seeking both relief and deeper understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you. Starting therapy can feel like a big step and I would be honored to support you in this process.

Schedule with Mark Moran, LSW

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community using IFS and CBT to help my clients recover from trauma, substance use disorder, OCD, compulsive sexual behaviors, anxiety and depression. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a client doing the work and flourishing. I feel honored when clients invite me into their world, sharing their struggles, triumphs, hopes, fears, and the absurdities life throws at us.

Schedule with Fatu Barrie, LSW

Beyond her work with OCD, Fatu supports individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, substance use, identity-related issues, and relational conflict. Her clinical background includes work with youth and families experiencing developmental and social challenges, adults adjusting to aging-related changes, and individuals affected by migration, displacement, and systemic trauma.

Fatu also works with individuals with ADHD and autism. She is attentive to how neurodivergence, sensory sensitivity, and emotional regulation differences shape self-understanding, relationships, and daily functioning. Her approach integrates relational, mindfulness-based, and somatic-informed interventions to support nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and a sense of safety in the body. She maintains a strong sensitivity to cultural, social, and systemic contexts. Fatu’s clinical style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed.

Schedule with Nissa Gustafson, LSW

Therapy with me is an exploration of the resources, tools, and strengths we bring to the table, working together to create a space that is both inquisitive and supportive. So often, our experiences and stories cannot be easily defined, spoken, or put to words, and that is okay – navigating that complexity is a part of our capacity to grow. Together, we will explore both what is challenging you and what goals you might have, meeting you where you are with presence, nuance, and respect for the experiences that shape us.

I found my way to therapy and counseling through navigating my own journey of seeking help and support, a path that was never linear and continues to hold its fair share of surprises. I bring over a decade of experience in harm reduction, grief support, and community-based care, experiences that have shaped my practice to be flexible, person-centered, and trauma-informed.

Schedule with Steve Ellis, LCSW

Everyone needs support at difficult points in their lives. We’ll work together to set attainable goals that allow you to make changes that bring greater ease and well being into your life.

I provide compassionate person-centered therapy to individual adults. I specialize in working with diverse clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, family conflict, workplace stress, and addiction. My work is rooted in evidenced-based interventions and informed by Buddhist psychology.

Schedule with Perkins Kahlo
