Therapists for college students near Philadelphia, PA
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or burned out? As a counselor, it is my job to listen to your story, empathize with your emotions, and work with you to improve your well-being. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help you create more meaning in your life, improve the way you see yourself, and control those racing thoughts you may be experiencing. I have eight years working as a mental health professional and I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with self-image, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us can be a difficult journey, and I am committed to helping you every step of the way. I support individuals 16+ in overcoming daily stress, loneliness, self-image, relationship issues, career and school difficulties, burnout, depression, and anxiety.
My individual practice is made up of college students who are in college or soon to be transitioning into the real world. My model is CBT , but tailor sessions to the needs of each individual. Some students might need hands on direction , while others just a supportive and safe place to share and have someone listen. I feel I provide a comforting and safe environment . I love to focus on mindfulness tools to help with stress and time management.
My clients come to me with a wide variety of concerns related to anxiety, depression, confusion, low self-esteem, life transitions and adjustments, impulsive behaviors (e.g., substance use, binge eating, self-harm), etc. There is no problem too big or too small, and you are brave for considering therapy. No matter what you are searching for, I believe change is possible and therapy can help. I utilize evidence-based interventions to help my clients build a life that they find more sustainable, meaningful, and enjoyable. I am skilled at helping my clients find balance by challenging them to make necessary changes while also working toward accepting the things that are unchangeable, such as our past. You don't have to know if therapy is right for you just yet, it is ok to be uncertain. I meet my clients where ever they are at in life, and I offer warmth, safety, validation, non-judgement, and a little bit of humor. Reach out and let's see if we would make a good team.

Hi! I’m Irene, and I am happy you are here. If you are neurodivergent woman searching for a therapist, you deserve someone who is non-judgmental and values your uniqueness. Have you been dealing with anxiety, fear, depression or anger? You may be in a partnership with another neurodivergent person, and you struggle with communication, or you may have trouble keeping up with daily life, like taking care of your living space, or doing the laundry. Maybe your children are grown and out of the house, and you are not sure what to do next with your life. All of this may be difficult to navigate. We can work together to make life less challenging. I am passionate about providing a non-judgmental, neuro-affirming therapeutic space for my clients. I have worked in the special education field for years and have collaborated with parents of neurodivergent children. I work with folks who are finding that their life seems to be more difficult than those around them. We can collaborate to support you in a person-centered setting. Counseling is different for each of us, and together we can work to achieve your goals. With my integrative approach, I will meet you where you are in your journey to wellness. We can do this together! Working under the supervision of Colleen Torrey.

Many of my clients are struggling with constant worry and feelings of sadness. Some are struggling with life challenges such as; adjusting to college, choosing a major, conflicts with roommates or friends, relationship issues and grief & loss.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns? Are you a parent trying your best but still feeling lost? Navigating a major life transition or just need someone to talk to? You're not alone. With 18+ years as a special education teacher, certification as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and training as a therapist, I support teens (14+), young adults, and adults through emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is structured, compassionate, and evidence-based. I'm also EMDRIA-trained to provide EMDR therapy for trauma and healing. I'm here to help. I offer trauma-informed therapy using CPT, TF-CBT, CBT, and EMDR. I also incorporate mindfulness and holistic strategies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healing.

Our practice specializes in treating eating disorders in young adults, offering a compassionate and evidence-based approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). We provide individualized care for clients struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating behaviors. We also work with Anxiety and Mood disorders. Clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thoughts around food, body image or other presenting stressors. DBT techniques are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. The integrative approach supports young adults in developing healthier coping strategies, improving self-esteem, and fostering lasting recovery in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
Through over 20 years of practice I have found that people usually seek therapy because they are experiencing something that is too difficult to bear without additional help and support. Life can seem unjust when bad things happen to good people, or when best efforts are not leading to desired outcomes. These challenges are opportunities for renewal and growth. Especially during a time of crisis or transition, the ability to safely connect and openly share thoughts and feelings, while receiving genuine emotional support, clarifying insights, and effective tools for coping can be truly life changing. This is the gift of therapy. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders (such as OCD, tic disorders, hair pulling, skin picking and hoarding). I use evidence-based treatment models (ERP, HRT, CBT and EMDR). Research tells us that the therapeutic relationship is a critical factor in determining outcomes, so finding a therapist who is right for you is key. Call for a free 15 minute phone consultation so that you can interview me and decide if I'm a good fit.
