Find a therapist in Philadelphia, PA — covered by insurance

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained a MSEd from Duquesne University, with a concentration in School Counseling. My mental health career started after graduating from Allegheny College with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I went on to work in a group home with young adults, as a crisis technician at a 24/7 walk-in center, and as a mental health service coordinator for children and adolescents. In addition to my private practice counseling work, I have experience as a school counselor working with both elementary and middle school-aged students.

I believe in meeting each client exactly where they are, with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Whether you’re navigating stress, change, or personal growth, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. I am looking forward to support you through each transition life to meet your goals for therapy.

I am so happy you are taking the next step for your mental health and wellness! My name is Heather Phelps, owner of HLP Wellness Solutions, Licensed Professional Counselor, and CAADC ( Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor). I am a seasoned clinician having worked in all aspects of intensity in behavioral health; detox, residential, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient. I have experience working with substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, anxiety, codependency, depression, trauma, first responders, personality disorders, and mood disorders. I offer a client centered approach to care, valuing honesty, compassion, and accountability.

I believe we are whole and complete, yet the structures and communities we live in might have us feeling like we are lacking, broken, and/or that there is something “wrong” with us. Life can be hard, and it can make us hard. Hard on ourselves, hard on the people we love, and hard on the people we interact with. As we grow and live through the natural stages of life, and the expected and unexpected events that arise, the strategies we consciously or unconsciously developed throughout our life to keep us safe and regulated might no longer be working for us. They might even be causing us distress or dysfunction. Our helpful coping strategies have become unhelpful, and this is where therapy comes in.
