Blue Cross Blue Shield Therapists in Pennsylvania

Hello and welcome! I'm Rachel Phelps, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor in PA. With a compassionate approach to therapy, I offer outpatient mental health services tailored to your unique journey towards wellness. My practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves a supportive space to grow and heal. Since May 2023, I've been empowering individuals through platforms like Grow Therapy, Better Help, Headway, and Talkspace, ensuring flexible access to care. In June 2023, I opened my own private practice, I am Here LLC. My experience extends to providing intensive in-home family therapy for children at risk, nurturing their emotional well-being right where they need it most. My educational background includes a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision from Walden University and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculata University. But beyond degrees, my passion lies in connecting with you on a human level—listening intently, understanding deeply, and guiding effectively. Whether it's navigating life's challenges individually or together with family, my goal is to equip you with the tools for lasting change. From anxiety and depression to crisis intervention, we'll explore solutions that resonate with your life story. Let's embark on this healing journey together. Your well-being is my priority, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe in focusing on rapport building and the Therapeutic relationship first and foremost. I value supporting my clients in validating their experiences and feelings as well as helping them work through processing, reframing, and emotional regulation.

My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having a safe space to explore, process, and grow. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, knowing that this is a judgment-free zone where we work together to help you feel more in control of your life. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, self-doubt, and big life changes can be, and I also know that you don’t have to navigate them alone. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—I’ll support you, challenge you when needed, and give you practical tools to help you build confidence, emotional resilience, and a life that feels more like yours. I believe that healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and understood—and my goal is to create that space for you. *Specialties •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Anxiety •PTSD •Relationship issues •Mood disorders •Trauma •Panic attacks •Depression •Life Transitions •Behavioral Issues •Bisexual •Body Positivity •Coping Skills •Family Conflict •Grief •Lesbian •LGBTQ+ •Peer Relationships •School Issues •Self Esteem •Stress •Women's Issues *Treatment philosophy I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered.
