Have you been looking for a therapist that you can feel a connection with?
Someone that can not only listen to your struggles, but be able to give informative and helpful feedback to guide you through a difficult time in your life?
Much of the success or failure of therapy comes from your comfort level and connection with your therapist. Having someone that you can open up to, who will be an interactive part of your treatment process, and will challenge you to find and what’s working for you and what’s not will increase the success of your therapy sessions. Be open with our intake coordinator so that she can connect you with the right therapist.
With telehealth you are no longer limited to therapists within your zip code. Our counselors work with clients anywhere within the State of Pennsylvania! Letting you focus on finding the best fit rather than the closest option.

Please note that there is currently a high demand for counseling services and many of our therapists do have a waitlist for new clients. We apologize for any inconvienence, this is to allow their current clients the time and care they need. All of our therapists will show you the same time and consideration when you begin counseling as well.
