If you have depression and are trying to handle it on your own or trying to ignore it, don’t. Depression is one of the most common reasons for disability in American adults and while it is easily treated by a professional, many people do not seek treatment. Whether you are too embarrassed or afraid to get help, just remember that you cannot feel better unless you talk to someone.
There are quite a few excellent therapists in and around Northampton who are experienced in diagnosing and treating depression as well as other mental health conditions. Northampton also has some amazing places to play such as Saylor Park, Egypt Memorial Park, Cementon Park, the Atlas Cement Company Museum, and Ironton Rail Trail where there are nine miles of trails you can hike.

Stephanie Quinn
Hello! My name is Stephanie Quinn and I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I am grateful that you are reading my profile and if you connect to what I am sharing, please reach out to me. I chose the counseling field after working with children with autism and then adults suffering with addiction for several years. I have many years of experience working with trauma, Christian counseling, anxiety, self-worth and self-esteem, life transitions, grief and loss, LGBTQIA, postpartum depression and anger management. I also enjoy working with addictions, depression and spiritual struggles. I would describe my style as warm, validating and supportive, and I am ready to help you tackle your struggle head-on. Collaboration is important and together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current obstacles. I believe in taking time and working on wellness slowly and consistently. Just as physical health takes time and consistency, so does mental health. I look forward to helping you in any way I can!

Do you often feel weighed down by stress or anxiety or even struggle with depressed mood? Do some days just feel like it's hard to exist or cope? Together, we will process your current symptoms and find strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your stressors and difficulties. Through my approach in therapy, I provide a warm and safe environment where you will find unwavering support as well as unconditional positive regard. I look forward to working with you and commend you on taking the first step to find a provider to begin your journey. I attended Chestnut Hill College and received my Master's of Science in Clinical & Counseling Psychology. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014 and have been practicing as a therapist since 2018. I have completed 40 hours of LGBTQ focused education through Chestnut Hill College.

Amanda Hillberry
Hello! I am a licensed therapist in the state of Pennsylvania with a broad range of experiences in the counseling field. I have worked with children, teens, and adults with many different backgrounds and concerns in home-based, school-based, in a recovery house, and outpatient settings over the past 8 years. My therapy style is more laid-back but interactive, while also being direct when needed. I am passionate about counseling from a Christian perspective, but I am also able to counsel persons from all religious and spiritual beliefs to help them live more fulfilling lives. Over the past few years, grief has become more prevalent in my own life and the lives of people I have interacted with and counseled, spurring on a new passion to be as present as possible in the grieving process of others, especially those experiencing disenfranchised grief (when the depth of pain is not commonly recognized by society as a whole). While I can’t make the pain of loss go away, having someone be with you in the pain can make a world of difference. My therapeutic approach consists of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Existential theories. Since every person is unique, I will take time to learn your individual needs, wants, strengths and what you respond best to in sessions. It is admirable to take steps to help oneself in greater self-discovery and growth. Thank you for being here, and for being you. I hope you feel heard and can know what it is like to be truly authentic. I look forward to working alongside you!

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with more than 25 years of professional work experience. My practice is mainly working with clients who are in mid-life and coping with difficult changes. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, and mood disorders. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My practice is through video sessions rather than messaging, as it is a more effective means of therapy. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Shakea Roper
Confidential talk without judgement. Hi, I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Do you need someone to talk to that will be understanding, compassionate, and encouraging? If so, you have reached the right therapist. I’m a single mother from the inner city. I’ve been through many struggles. From parenting, to family, to work, and just life. I’ve learned you can always work on yourself to help break cycles/patterns that once held you back. I value honesty and keeping it real. When there is free time, I like to sleep, spend time with family, board games, and of course diamond painting/other crafts. I often work with clients to address anxiety, depression, racing undesirable thoughts, and handling day to day life. My counseling style is active, honest, and straight-forward. Many of my clients have said "Kea is a great listener who isn't afraid to challenge my thoughts." I take the time to care. For me, it's an honor to work together to make progress! One of my favorite quotes is “everything seems impossible until it's done” by Nelson Mandela because I know everyone can push past the uncomfortableness of change to accomplish their goals. I have worked in various fields of social work such as: working with survivors of abuse, half-way houses, reunification of children with their families, youth homes, and psychiatric hospitals. Expect a sense of relief, release, and progress after each session. Each session is geared towards you and your needs. It’s based off what you feel you need to talk about, not a set curriculum. You bring the topic, and we will discuss, and problem solve as needed. If you just want a listener, you can have that also. Know that I will be honest and straight forward with you. Know that your thoughts may be challenged to help your personal growth. You may even have action or thinking tasks to complete. I have over 14 years of experience focusing on mood disorders and any symptoms that affect daily life. I can work with clients from the following states: Kansas, Missouri, Utah, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. I spent my last college years at the University of Missouri – Columbia (MIZZOU) earning a master’s degree in social work (c/o/2009). In my sessions, I focus on using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thinking processes), Strengths Based, Brief Therapy, Problem Solving, DBT (mindfulness), Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), and Solution Focused to help clients improve all areas of their life. I am a facilitator of Making Sense of Your Worth (MSoYW).
