Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in West Chester, PA

I have over 20 years experience in mental health working with individuals, couples and families of all ages. I have worked in homes, schools. communities, and outpatient settings. I specialize in teaching effective communication skills and problem resolution skills to all my clients. I am very active and directive and help clients work toward solutions to their problems. I am a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and value mind-body health.

Life doesn't always fall apart all at once. Sometimes it shifts — slowly or suddenly — and you find yourself standing in the middle of something you didn't plan for, not quite sure how to find your footing again.

I work with adults — particularly women — who are navigating major life transitions: divorce, career change, grief and loss, identity shifts, postpartum challenges, relationship changes, and the complex process of figuring out who you are when everything around you has changed.

My name is Nadine Cramer, and I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for over 22 years. I'm licensed in both Ohio and Pennsylvania and see clients throughout both states via telehealth. Over the course of my career I've worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient community mental health, and private practice. I've facilitated groups for postpartum depression, anger management, alcohol and substance use recovery, and cognitive restructuring — and I've brought everything I've learned in those settings into my private practice work.

I have a M.S. Mental Health Counseling graduate degree with a specialization in Substance Abuse Disorder, a M.A. Psychology graduate degree and an undergraduate B.A. Psychology degree.

I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, detox and rehab facilities, outpatient PCP and IOP mental health and individual private practice. I have worked with a range of different clients from many different backgrounds and ages (children, preteen, teen, adult and elderly).

For over a decade, Paula has been a beacon of hope for children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating life's transitions. From community mental health agencies to foster care programs and university residence life department, her passion lies in empowering individuals and families to find health, wellness, and brighter tomorrows.

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.

I have been in the mental health field for 16 years from in-home counseling to forensic counseling. This past year I recently got Licensed and opened my own private practice. I have extensive training in Trauma, depression, and anxiety. I’m a big believer that Borderline Personality Disorder stems from trauma and the characteristics one has needed to adapt to in order to function/survive.
