I am Dr. Maribel Aheran, a neurodivergent, licensed mental health therapist and Certified Autism Specialist dedicated to helping individuals finally get answers. Drawing from my background as a K-12 special education staffing coordinator and counselor, I specialize in adult Autism and ADHD evaluations. Every day, I assess, identify, plan, educate, and build strong therapeutic alliances. Moving past "the tip of the iceberg," I use advanced pattern recognition and differential diagnosis to find underlying issues, equipping clients with targeted psychoeducation and the exact tools they need.
Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate substance use and mental health issues. I have worked with people who use drugs and their family members in numerous settings and have experience conducting individual and group therapy. I obtained my master's degree from Temple University and am passionate about supporting those with substance use challenges and their loved ones.
Since 2013, I’ve helped clients overcome social anxiety, gaming addiction, and substance abuse—while also developing emotional intelligence and building healthier relationships. I understand firsthand how internet culture, modern relationships, and existential doubt shape our struggles. My approach is direct but empathetic, balancing honesty with actionable solutions to help you take control of your life.
If you're stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, blackpilling, or social withdrawal, I can help you break free. We’ll work on improving emotional communication, navigating online and offline relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is engaging, sometimes humorous, but always focused on real growth. I minimize worksheets and prioritize evidenced-based solutions. I utilize ACT, REBT and CBT to help you identify issues and create lasting change. I also draw from my academic background in existential philosophy and critical theory. I'm a genuine, goofy but direct person, I like having real conversations and I offer free consultations.
Hi! My name is John. I am a warm, welcoming therapist who believes that healing happens best in a space where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself-humor included. I earned my Master's degree in 2016 and bring over ten years of experience working in the Mental Health/Counseling field. I am trained in trauma-informed care and prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment in our work together, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
I have been practicing therapy for several years (licensed for almost 2) and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I enjoy hearing people's stories and watching them change and progress in many different ways. I like to ask questions, but am not afraid to challenge something or make a joke at times. I have worked in the drug and alcohol field for several years and in that field I encountered many different mental health conditions.
Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA and MI. 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.
If you're feeling 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.
At my core, I am a humanist, existentialist, and a proponent of unconditional self-compassion. I have a strong skill set working with older teens and young adults but love working with all humans in general. Other therapeutic areas of strength would be trauma, personality disorders, gender and sexuality, parenting, relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.
Hi! I'm Amanda, LPC in Pennsylvania. I started my journey as a school counselor at a high school for 13 years and then transitioned into an outpatient facility. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate their lives. I love learning about and connecting with others. I help support individuals with adjusting to new situations, set boundaries, feel empowered, manage the demands of life, learn better coping and implement self-care. I was a DII College Athlete so I really enjoy getting to connect with other past or present athletes. I have over 19 years experience helping others with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bi-polar, relationship issues, or just feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
I encounter clients where they are. As we build a relationship, we explore coping skills. I believe that small progress is still progress.
