“Research shows the most significant factor in a successful outcome is the relationship with the therapist - what might be described as ‘feeling felt’.”
-Lori Gottlieb, MFT
Hi, I’m Tina!
I am a Board Certified & Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Provider, & ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider and I am passionate about helping clients use self-discovery to lead them to their ideal life. I have known since I was young that I wanted to be a counselor - partly because of challenges I encountered in my own life, and mostly because I recognized how valuable supportive connection is when we’re going through tough times.
I strive for this connection with all of my clients. To feel understood and heard can make a difference in our lives.
Educational and Professional Background
I graduated from Immaculata University with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018. While there, I completed internships in both a medical-integrated care clinic and a private practice setting. I worked with adolescents and adults diagnosed with mood, personality, eating, substance use, and trauma-related disorders, and/or who were experiencing life transitions or relationship issues.
Following my graduate degree, I continued my work in private practice with the populations listed above, with a focus in substance use disorders, those in their 20s-30s navigating life transitions, those working in the mental health field, and couples counseling. 5 years ago I opened my own practice, and received my PA state licensure shortly after. I also received certifications to treat Anxiety and ADHD. I currently specialize in working with those navigating the life transitions that occur in quarterlife (20s & 30s), the anxieties that arise, and for some, how ADHD can play a role in the anxieties. I will be offering in-person sessions in an office conveniently located off Route 30 in Paoli, just a short drive from Route 202, Route 29, Exton, King of Prussia, West Chester, and the other greater Philadelphia suburbs, starting in October 2025!
Personal Background
Outside of this work I love spending time and traveling with my husband and our dog, Ellie! I love to read, garden, and stay active by running or on the Peloton app.
I am lucky to do this work and feel privileged to work with people as they tell their story and begin to understand themselves differently and more fully. If you’re looking for in-peson therapy near Paoli, or are in PA and would prefer virtual sessions, reach out for more information about getting started.
