Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottler, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about supporting individuals facing challenges such as addiction (including Medication-Assisted Treatment), substance use disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, and psychosis. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to create a care plan that truly fits your needs and goals.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe, judgment-free space to talk about their mental health. My practice is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based care. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns, knowing that your voice is heard and respected. Treatment decisions are always made as a team, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

A bit about my background: I’m a graduate of Wilkes University, and most of my nursing career has been dedicated to addiction and mental health. I decided to become a PMHNP because I wanted to make a bigger impact for my patients. In my first year as a PMHNP, I helped launch an MAT program and served as the main provider. Today, my practice focuses on mental health, and I plan to expand addiction services in the future.

HI! My name is Brandais and I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience working with individuals. I focus on anxiety, life-changes, women's issues and diverse populations including LGBTQIA populations. My experience is with people across the lifespan. Currently I work with adults from 18-65. I approach my clients with warmth and allowing you to share your experience with non-judgement.

I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to take it alone. I work with teens (late adolescence) through adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and begin creating meaningful change. In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples and family therapy to help improve communication, strengthen relationships, and work through difficult dynamics.

I am a Master's level independent clinical social worker and have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and work well with individuals who have experienced complex or childhood trauma. I also work with clients who struggle with ADHD, burnout, anxiety or depression. I became a therapist to help others live up to their full potential and get out of autopilot to find genuine contentment in their lives.

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, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, comfortable, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.

As a professional, mom, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become, and I’m passionate about helping people feel more balanced, hopeful, and like themselves again.

I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I am currently completing advanced training to become a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This training expands my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that may complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are integrated thoughtfully and are never intended to replace proven psychiatric care.
