Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. I'm Jackie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 40 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I've cared for individuals and families in a variety of healthcare settings, gaining a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional health. That experience shaped my approach to psychiatric care and continues to guide the way I support each person. You'll find a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Virtual appointments are available for individuals throughout Pennsylvania.

Yvette Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Gentle, Intuitive & Reflective Is Who I AM!

Hello future client, I'm Yvette. I approach therapy with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each person’s story. My personality is naturally reflective and intuitive, and I create a space that feels calm, intentional, and emotionally grounding. Clients often share that they feel understood and emotionally held in our work together.

Therapy with me is not about rushing or forcing change—it’s about building awareness, strengthening emotional boundaries, and learning how to care for yourself without guilt. I work with adults who are navigating emotional fatigue, disappointment, anxiety, or relational stress and are ready for a more compassionate, values-aligned way of healing.

Lisa Armstrong

Lisa Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Philadelphia, PA


I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 35 years in social services, the last 9 as a licensed clinician. My background spans direct practice, public health, domestic violence services, and end-of-life care. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health. My clinical work draws from Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. I also do end-of-life doula work.

My practice, Empowered Transitions Therapy, is built around the belief that transitions don't just require coping strategies. They require honest reflection, real support, and sometimes a complete rethinking of what you want your life to look like going forward.

I work with adults and couples navigating grief and loss, caregiver burnout, life transitions, domestic violence recovery, and relational conflict. I specialize in complicated grief and work with clients whose losses have been layered, unacknowledged, or unresolved for years. Much of my work centers on women who are in the middle of reinventing themselves and aren't sure yet what that looks like.

I'm direct without being cold. I ask hard questions and I sit with you in the answers. If you've been managing everything on your own and you're tired of it, this might be the right place.
