I’m trained in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Flash Technique, Ego States/Parts Work, and Somatic Experiencing.
While there are some major commonalities in what humans struggle with, we are all still very unique. I seek to understand your uniqueness, join your inner world, and adapt in order to help you find the solutions you are seeking. Life is hard and we can‘t do it all alone. I’m here to help.

I am trained in EMDR and Somatic Parts Work, working towards certification in both.
Hi! I’m Annie, and I’m a licensed social worker. I often work with individuals who have experienced trauma. I use a relational & feminist framework to help clients understand the role of relationships, culture, & society throughout their lives, and how those things affect working towards healing and joy. My past experience includes crisis management, survivor advocacy, trauma psychoeducation, supportive counseling with folks who experienced sexual violence during incarceration, mindfulness group work, and community outreach. If you experienced sexual violence in the state of PA, ask me about ways to help cover your costs.

I offer a warm, culturally responsive space for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I’m passionate about mental health and approach therapy with empathy, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care. Using tools like EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, value-based exploration, and ketamine therapy referrals, I help clients break unhelpful patterns and reconnect with their strengths. My goal is to support healing, clarity, and empowered decision-making.

I’m interested in working with clients who are in search of deep emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. You can expect our sessions together to consider your past, and to process the impact of those experiences on your present day life. Almost everyone is impacted by distressing or traumatic events that inevitably occur throughout a lifetime, so those experiences will be explored and processed, as well. Our work together will be a blended effort of focusing on what is important to you, and my curiosity and guidance throughout your process.

You’re adaptive, insightful, and carrying more than what’s visible. Some parts of you are thriving, others feel like they’re spiraling. You’re ready to bring them into conversation.
I work from the belief that healing is not about returning to a baseline, but about expanding the capacity to be fully alive. I approach integration as a relational and recursive process, where body, mind, and spirit are not separate “domains,” but interwoven pathways through which experience moves, breaks down, reorganizes, and becomes meaningful. A gesture, image, or phrase can carry the whole architecture of a story.

Through an integrative approach using a polyvagal lens and practices like ACT, DBT, and somatic work, I support clients in feeling safe, seen, and regulated, especially those navigating diverse identities and complex life experiences.
Many of the people I work with are carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, identity questions, and relational wounds, often shaped by generational trauma and systemic barriers tied to their marginalized identities. They're looking for a space to exhale, reconnect with their bodies, and begin making sense of what’s getting in the way of moving through the world as their whole self. Whether you're exploring cultural identity, healing from trauma, or moving through life transitions, you deserve support that recognizes your full story and the systems that have shaped it.

I truly believe that your therapist should feel like your best friend that is not your friend. I believe in the therapeutic working relationship. I will work just as hard as you do. You are behind the drivers seat and you are the expert of your life. You know what you need and want. I just want to be the tour guide throughout your healing journey.

I integrate Gestalt with Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, and somatic interventions to support a holistic and trauma-informed approach to care.
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Leslie and I'm passionate about teaching clients to slow down, prioritize their own experience, restore connection between mind and body, and embrace the paradoxes of life. These values can be especially challenging for gender expansive and neurodiverse folks who have been invalidated and pressured to conform. Depatterning these messages and creating security from the inside out will support you to ground anxiety, get unstuck from harmful patterns, cultivate more authentic relationships, and ultimately, create a life of greater purpose and fulfillment.

My approach to therapy is somatic-focused and trauma informed.
Making the decision to pursue therapy is a huge step. It’s easy to push things down or avoid them, but making the choice to reach out shows strength. Maybe you’ve never had a safe space to share your true thoughts and feelings, or felt truly heard and understood. Let’s build that together here!
I am passionate about helping survivors of abusive or unhealthy relationships learn to rebuild their confidence and find their voice again. When we experience relational trauma, whether that be in a romantic context, or during our childhood, this significantly impacts how we feel about ourselves and how we navigate future relationships.

I have additional training in trauma, somatic experiencing, dialectical behavioral therapy, and I am constantly learning and expanding my knowledge of counseling and therapeutic approaches.
My name is Natalie and mental health and healing is my passion. I love to work with people who are struggling with anxiety, chronic illness, burn out, trauma, and many more things. I want to help you get your spark back and live a fulfilling life. I take a very eclectic, holistic, and humanistic approach. I work with teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families.

Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short/long term goals/values.

Healing from trauma is a journey that does not have to define who you are. It’s important to recognize that while trauma can shape experiences, it does not determine your identity or future. Embracing the healing process allows you to reclaim your life and move forward with strength and resilience.
Counseling can be a transformative journey, especially for those dealing with present or past events that are currently shaping their life in a negative way. It often requires dedication and hard work, but the rewards can lead to significant life changes.

Life is a delicate balance and sometimes feels too heavy to manage alone. When grief, anxiety, depression, or the weight of life’s changes feel too much, you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.
I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel truly seen and heard without judgment. I’m especially comfortable walking beside people through grief, loss, and life’s big transitions. Alongside talk therapy, I draw on my deep understanding of health and fitness to help you reconnect with your body, restore balance, and find practical ways to care for your whole self.

I love to help my clients learn how to regulate and experience healing for their nervous system through EMDR and/or various somatic approaches, in conjunction with replacing negative beliefs with positive ones.
I am a bilingual counselor who has specialized expertise in treating anxiety, depression, developmental and relational trauma, and PTSD. I offer various approaches to therapy based on your unique preferences (EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFIT, DART). I typically counsel adults (18-90+) but do also provide counseling for adolescents as young as 16. If you want someone to help you take the steps you need toward healing and growing, I would love to develop a specialized plan with you to get you to where you want to be, and help you take the steps to get there. I can and do also integrate biblical counseling for those who are interested.
