Out-of-Pocket Therapists in Pennsylvania

Hello there! My name is Grace and I am so glad you’re here! I have experience working with adolescents in the school based setting and have experience helping clients address challenges with, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ issues, neurodivergence, people pleasing, perfectionism, and women’s issues. My therapeutic approach is integrative, pulling from modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, existentialism, and person centered. I love to implement creativity, humour, and authenticity into the therapy space in hopes that it can soften the anxiety and apprehension that many individuals may face when it comes to therapy. I believe in creating a safe space for marginalized identities and employing a social justice and feminist framework. When working with clients, I like to meet them where they are, work collaboratively, and provide them with the support and guidance they need in order to achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you! 

Hi there, my name is Alyssa Leister! I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling. Life is full of constant change, challenges, and unexpected obstacles, and I know how overwhelming it can feel when those moments arise. I’m deeply passionate about supporting clients through these difficult times, offering guidance and understanding as we navigate life’s complexities together. I want you to know that you don’t have to walk it alone. I understand that stepping into counseling can feel vulnerable, but my goal is to help you see how transformative this journey can be by working to create a safe and open space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. My approach is rooted in authenticity, and I believe in the power of curiosity to spark meaningful change. As we work together, I’ll support you in uncovering your inner resilience, building practical skills to cope with life’s challenges, and developing the tools necessary to move forward. My aim is not just to help you heal but to empower you to live a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Whatever you’re navigating, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Together, we’ll build a foundation of strength, hope, and growth. Ready when you are!

Hello! My name is KaRon Spriggs-Bethea. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been practicing for about 5 years. I have a very eclectic background in the field which has made it enjoyable to help many different people. I work with individuals and couples. The services I provide are: anxiety/depression, gender identity and sexuality, and substance use/addiction. I am patient, empathetic and easy to talk to. I like to create a supportive and nurturing environment to help clients feel comfortable while working with me. Building trusting relationships and witnessing breakthroughs is something that makes this work very rewarding.

Life can throw us a lot of curveballs! Even happy things like relationships, pregnancies, babies, new jobs, new moves, and new places can disrupt our mental health and leave us feeling anxious or depressed. If you’re feeling less like yourself, with anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, trouble making decisions, difficulty motivating or just feeling like your new life wasn’t what you expected, a therapist can help get you on a new path towards healing and connection.  As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help people learn new ways to manage feelings of anxiety and walk with you while you work through your life transitions. I help teens and adults like you struggling with your new world and help you look forward to the future again. I am also trained to work with kids, teens and adults manage Tourette’s with CBIT.

Hi! I'm currently accepting new clients. We all overcome struggles and push through our discomfort to survive day to day. I believe we don’t have to do it alone. Life feels easier and more enjoyable when we have support and a safe space to process what we are experiencing. I strive to create that space and be that supportive person in your life so you can do more than just survive another day.

If you want authentic, honest feedback mixed with a down to earth style that may be peppered with colorful language, then we could be a good fit!

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

Hello, and welcome.  I invite you to my practice, to guide and support you along the way, in your journey in caring for yourself.  Do you have difficulty with managing stress and are looking for the tools to help you get through the day? Are you feeling down, or maybe anxious, and need someone to just listen? Or perhaps you’re going through a very difficult time and want to talk to someone but you don’t even know where to begin. With a warm and empathic counseling style, you will find that in working with me, you are supported from a non-judgmental standpoint, and together we will build a trusting relationship where you can feel comfortable.     I offer free 15-minute consults. Contact me to set up a time to talk, and we’ll take it from there.   Know that you are not alone, and you deserve to get the help you are looking for.
