About me

Welcome! My name is Nara Pezolano and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) in Pennsylvania with over 18 years of professional mental health experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, motivation, relationship issues, self esteem and confidence, career difficulties, personality and mood disorders, anxiety & depression, grief, and end of life issues.  I take an eclectic, person-centered approach where you are in the driver seat in your own recovery. I am here to support you in that process and will meet you where you’re at, without judgment. Are you ready to take the first step? Schedule a session with me today! I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, sex positive. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nara Pezolano. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

After years of searching for the right therapist, Nara came into my life—and I am so glad that she did. I look forward to our sessions and I feel very comfortable with her. She has been nothing but empathetic and understanding, all the while giving me the tools that I need to succeed. She truly has been a godsend.

A really kind and understanding therapist, she gives very useful insights and helps me better evaluate my problems.
