Colleen Mest

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Asking for help can be the most difficult decision you can make for yourself. It’s never an easy step, as we often prefer by nature to handle things on our own. I’m here to help you along your journey, as we look together and examine areas that you wish to change. My approach is collaborative and compassionate focusing on individual strengths and creating an environment that is safe for exploration and reflection.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania with over 12 years of experience in assessment and mental health treatment. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, etc. I have also helped many people who have a history of trauma. While these may be some areas of focus this is not an exhaustive list of my experience. I have a passion for helping women overcome barriers that are holding them back from achieving what they desire and find fulfillment in the journey of life.

If you feel we’d be a good match, I’d be happy to work with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care. A major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their needs and routine, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to maintain consistent care amid busy schedules. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they seek a different fit.
