Hello, I’m Regina, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 20 years of nursing experience caring for individuals and families across diverse backgrounds and stages of life.

Cosmi Konzelman

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in a variety of settings supporting individuals navigating PTSD, addiction, and recovery from domestic violence and relational trauma. I have worked in community mental health, treatment programs, and trauma-informed environments, giving me a deep understanding of the complex challenges these populations face.

My approach is trauma-focused, attachment-based, and grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are — without judgment — and partnering together toward meaningful, measurable healing. My goal is not just symptom management, but helping you experience real growth, healthier relationships, emotional stability, and lasting change.

Therapy with me is compassionate, direct, and empowering. We will work at a pace that feels safe while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing is possible, and I am passionate about helping clients see tangible results in their lives.

For clients who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian faith-integrated counseling into our work together.

You don’t have to navigate this alone — support and transformation are possible.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding addiction therapists in Philadelphia starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that affect relationships or daily routines. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, Fishtown, and West Philly, which can make the search broad. Location, transit access, appointment times, and virtual availability can help you narrow your options. Recovery is often not linear, so it can help to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, family impact, or co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. A free phone consultation can also help you understand their approach before booking a session.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse profiles, compare specialties and availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
