Nathalie Edmond

Licensed clinical psychologist and experienced yoga/meditation teacher. I take an integrative approach to treat the whole person with the understanding that are many doorways to help people heal and thrive. Our lived experiences and traumas of being oppressed live in our bodies and spirits. Words are often not enough to help us fully heal which is why I integrate mind-body approaches into the treatment. I integrate DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, Yoga, Sensorimotor, EMDR, Exposure, Spirituality, and Attachment focused therapies into therapy. I am grounded in a social justice lens and value cultural competence. I understand the importance of tailoring treatment to the individual needs of my clients.

Heidi Dalzell

With nearly 20 years’ experience as a therapist, I work with a broad spectrum of clients. My areas of expertise are eating disorders, anxiety and depression, and relationship issues. I work with men and women of all ages and with adolescents. Special areas of interest include trauma, body image and eating disorders, particularly in mid-life women and LGBTQ individuals. I am passionate about promoting healthy body image, sexuality and self-acceptance in LGBTQ youth, especially those that are in the formative process of identifying their sexual and/or gender identities. I am an interactive and engaging therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address life challenges. I offer a variety of techniques and a personalized approach for each client. With kindness, caring, and compassion, she’ll work with you to help you build on your strengths and achieve your fullest growth and potential.

I have a focus in marital, pre-marital, and relationship counseling (including relationships within the LGBTQ+ community). I work to help couples connect and rebuild their relationship by developing a foundation of emotional safety that promotes healthy and effective communication. We walk a journey together to grow and heal from the past and develop tools that foster a solid foundation to build a long-lasting future. I also work with individuals on a multitude of problems including mood spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD, OCD, DID, anxiety, depression, dysthymia and anhedonia, addiction (sexual and drug/alcohol), faith issues, life transitions, career choices and changes, and life skills counseling.

Lienna Wilson

My goal is to create a warm and comfortable place where clients can share, grow and gain balance and fulfillment in their lives. As a clinical psychologist (licensed in NJ, NY and PA), I provide evidence-based treatment for problems including anxiety (and related disorders, such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), depression and many other concerns, such as trauma and grief, substance abuse, adjustment difficulties or problems in interpersonal relationships. Some of my approaches include cognitive-behavioral interventions (e.g., exposure and response prevention and habit reversal training), motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness techniques.

We pride ourselves in only utilizing evidenced-based approaches (I.e. cognitive-behavior therapy, family-systems approaches, ACT). During your intake you will be individually matched with a clinician based on your or your child's needs/preference.

Lindsay MacGeorge

LGBTQIA+ is a community that's close to my heart. I've worked with many clients who identify as being in this group and were looking for support with understanding their identities and then managing the impact this has on their families, friends, jobs and communities. There are a myriad of issues that can come up and I am here to help you as you navigate through them and find your most true and beautiful self.

Olivia Krawtchuk

As a Mental Health Therapist, I process with you and create a space of openness, trust and acceptance. As a Yoga Therapist, I provide various tools to fit your specific needs, such as breathing exercises, meditations, yoga philosophy, and somatic movement. My approach is eclectic and draws on various therapies-- from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered to Mindfulness Meditation. This approach provides broader perspective and insight, as well as deeper understanding into who you are. I have extensive training in yoga philosophy and meditation from Yogalife Insitiute in King of Prussia, PA. I received my Masters in Professional Counseling from Rosemont College in Bryn Mawr, PA and am currently pursuing my LPC licensure in Pennsylvania. I approach therapy from the mind, body, and spirit perspective and believe that an integration of the three is important to the therapy process.

Sheryl Pierre

The work we will do together will have a strong skill building approach. Drawing from diverse cognitive behavioral therapeutic approaches, skills focus on managing emotions and behaviors and improving interpersonal interactions. The key feature is working toward integrating these new skills and strategies into everyday thoughts and actions to reduce distress. Each client is an individual and each treatment plan is individualized.

Katie Suchniak

By approaching our sessions with openness, curiosity, warmth, and humor, we will work together through life’s unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are grieving a great loss or are working to overcome past trauma, it is critical that you have a safe, supportive space with an authentic guide who truly cares. The power of human to human connection in the healing process is immeasurable, and I believe everyone is capable of living a life full of thoughtfulness, mindfulness, and truth.

Maddie Lukens

I partner with people to remind them they can find healing, wholeness and freedom, no matter what life has previously offered them. Each person is valuable and has so much to offer the world. My work with clients is centered around their needs - both immediate and beneath the surface. I value your feedback throughout the process in order to best serve you and help you meet your desired goals.

Christina Marrero

My therapy approach integrates creative processes, in session experiences, and cognitive exercises to offer a multi-faceted, individualized approach to approaching wellness. Each person who walks in my office engages in a therapy process which is personal to them. I am an art therapist which means art is a central modality of my practice. The art process in therapy provides a symbolic mode of expression, and the opportunity to communicate and build our relationship non-verbally. Engagement in creative action allows for emergence of significant experiences, including childhood experiences, in a way which often feels safer. Art therapy has also been reported to encourage perseverance, assist with growing social relationships, and build confidence in a strong identity. I combine the art therapy modality with ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and psychodynamic approaches. These approaches are designed to heal your past traumas and grow your present into the life you want to live.

Anna's specialties include clients who are struggling with sexual dysfunction or difficulties, desire disorder, performance anxiety/erectile dysfunction and couple communication. Anna is also kink, poly and LGBTQ friendly. Anna has a direct but empathetic approach to assisting her clients. Therapy will Anna is a mix of coaching and therapeutic exploration to assist in meeting the clients goals and aspirations. Healing and transformation occurs best when the client is dedicated to change and can work consistently with the therapist to explore and overcome stressors and create the intimacy you crave.

Carolyn Seplow

I approach my work from the perspective that we all retain the right to feel love, experience meaningful connections and obtain challenging goals. It is important to me to create a safe, collaborative, trusting environment in which we work together to experience success and make lasting change in your life. My therapeutic style incorporates strengths based, solution focused, cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practice.

Caitlin Archibald

Alexa Borrows

I strive to create a warm, empathetic, understanding and, most importantly, collaborative environment. Working together, we will tackle life’s challenges—whether they may be problems of anxiety, self-esteem, or unhealthy patterns of behavior. My background is in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and my hope is to help you live a more meaningful life. ACT is a safe, evidenced-based approach that helps one live in the moment and move toward more valued behaviors. By learning how to handle unwanted thoughts, feelings, and urges more effectively, you can overcome even your most difficult problems, building a more satisfying life.

Robin DeBates

Smart people try to solve problems. Sometimes when we try to solve problems they get better. And sometimes even in spite of our best intentions, those problems just stay stuck. What I've found over years of helping people getting out of the Swamp of Sadness or the Pit of Despair is not that we lack desire. It's that we, like TARDIS pilots, sometimes need a helping hand to get where in time and space we're trying to go. Helping people understand themselves and how to get out of our own ways is easier than containing a warp core breach or taking that darn ring to Mordor already. Whether you're having a hard time implementing habit routines that serve your best self, or struggling with the loneliness of being Data in a world full of human emotions, we will figure out concrete ways to help you feel and function better. My goal is to make myself obsolete in your life by helping you uncover, acquire, and successfully deploy the skills that help you get where you want to be.
