My communication style may be described as lax, as I feel this allows for the client to be comfortable. I pride myself in being allied with LGBTQIA2 and identify as a Black woman.

Hello! My name is Erin Janovec. I am a licensed professional counselor in Virginia. My approach to therapy is a humanistic and integrated approach that considers each individual's unique needs. I am certified in EMDR and trained in TF-CBT. I tailor the treatment plans to the needs of each individual and work collaboratively to develop goals and objectives. Common therapeutic approaches that may be utilized include cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, DBT skills, person-centered, REBT, and reality-based.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. It might help you make your decision to know I felt I had to earn the right to accompany my clients on their psychological journeys. I earned that right not just through formal education, but also by embarking on the same psychological journey upon which I would ultimately accompany my clients. I offer therapy in a private, tranquil, picturesque office setting. Please give me a call to discuss how I can help you navigate the challenges you're facing.

I began working in this field almost 30 years ago because I wanted to make a tangible difference in people's lives. Over the years, I have worked with countless individuals, couples, families, and groups to help them improve their quality of life. Through my experience, I have learned that: Although many may appear to be similar demographically in terms of age, race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, etc., everyone brings hisher own individual histories to therapy -- histories that distinguish each client as a unique individual. As a result, I welcome all clients, and I recognize that each client will bring hisher own history and values to therapy. I commit to working within each individual's system of values as I try to help the individual draw from hisher history to improve hisher quality of life. My two primary metrics are: a) tangible improvements in an individual's life, and b) the individual's feelings and understanding regarding change and the process of change. Like physical therapists and coaches who are willing to challenge their athletes to perform at full potential, I am willing to challenge my clients to reach their full potential in life. But my guiding philosophy is: "challenge by choice" -- I will only as far and as fast as my clients are comfortable.

Hello! My name is Christina Nanni and I would love the opportunity to work with you! I have been working in the field of psychology for over 20 years in a variety of settings. I am currently self-employed and conduct outpatient sessions out of the privacy of my home office located in West Chester, PA. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages and genders and have much experience dealing with depression and anxiety, eating issues, OCD, self-esteem, women’s issues, life transition issues, grief and loss, relationship and couple marital discord to name a few. I have had extensive clinical training during my educational journey with eating issues and substance abuse. My passion is helping people understand how they are getting in their own way of achieving greater happiness and personal fulfillment and guiding them to work towards that in a more productive way. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my practice and how I can be of service to you!

You may be used to showing up for everyone else while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you need. I offer a space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you are experiencing. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting women of color as they work through burnout, family expectations, identity, and the pressure to remain strong. Together, we will explore how your experiences, thoughts, and relationships influence your daily life. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and emotional regulation skills, tailoring our work to your goals and needs. We may focus on strengthening boundaries, improving communication, understanding emotional patterns, or finding manageable ways to cope. I value your perspective and welcome honest feedback about what is helping and what needs to change. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin with what feels most important to you and move at a pace that supports both trust and growth.

From a space of non-judgment and sensitivity, I believe it is my job to provide a supportive environment for us to explore patterns that contribute to the pain and challenges of your everyday life. I aim to bring light to different ways of being, so you can experience less pain, more satisfaction, and a better quality of life. We all get stuck at some point in our lives. It is my job to be present in those "stuck" moments so that we may collaborate in discovering the origins of the pain while identifying a path to well-being that fits for you.

You are noticing that some of the things that you experienced as a child affected you in many ways. Now that you are a parent, you are seeking support to parent your young children differently. My specialty is working with new and prospective parents to help them explore their parenting beliefs, learn the essentials of infant and early childhood development, and gain practical, real-life parenting skills that are designed to foster a loving and secure parent-child bond with children who feel loved, supported and respected.

My approach is integrative, intersectional, developmental, and contextual with a basic belief in the value of connection and the power of possibility. My work pulls from principles of Intersectionality and Liberation Practices, Attachment and Relational Science, Differentiation as a Developmental process in relationships, Contextual and Systems Theories, and the essential journey of Trauma Integration across the lifespan. I understand that we are heavily shaped by our relationships, family experiences, and positionality in the social world with regard to race, culture, gender identity, sexuality, etc. My practice is relationship and sexual intimacy focused, and I've deepened my lens to include Level 1 & 2 training in the Gottman Method; Advanced training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, in addition to past experience with PACT & Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I only work with couples or relationship structures at this time and I offer in person; telehealth; and a hybrid option. I also offer mini intensives (4 hour sessions), which compress the therapeutic work into a shorter period, offering a powerful and potentially transformative approach for clients seeking to revitalize their relationships, providing a focused and immersive environment for rapid change and deeper understanding. Because I see relationship clients from all across PA and DE, the mini intensive option works well for clients who really want an in person therapy experience, but can't make a weekly or even biweekly commute fit into their schedule.

I believe in the strength and resiliency of the human spirit and consider it an honor to work with people on a daily basis. My job is to create a safe and nurturing environment so that each individual feels comfortable and supported as they work on their personal goals. Everyone's goals are as different as the individuals themselves, and in order to honor that individuality, my approach is eclectic and personalized to each person. I always encourage and welcome feedback in order to continually ensure that the techniques being used are effective and keep progress moving in a positive direction.

As a clinician, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is rooted in empathy and a person-centered philosophy, meaning I meet each individual exactly where they are in their journey. I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine connection. I specialize in helping clients process trauma using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), supporting individuals as they work through complex, life-impacting experiences. In addition to trauma work, I provide compassionate care for those navigating grief, depression, and anxiety. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking to better understand yourself, I am here to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect.

My approach to therapy is integrative, which means that I draw from a number of different theories and techniques and tailor my approach to your specific needs and goals. In addition to more traditional western approaches, I find that many of my clients benefit from the integration of mindfulness and self-compassion practices into our work.
