Heather Korpa, LCSW — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Heather!

I provide individual therapy to adults coping with life changes and challenges who need motivation to make a change, or those who seek support to develop healthy coping strategies. I have experience working with caregivers, older adults, and aging-related concerns.

My focus

I work with adults in the middle stages of life facing life transitions, caring for an aging relative, stress related to work-life balance, and family conflicts. I have extensive experience with older adults and caregivers, understanding the emotional and physical toll they face.

My approach

My approach to therapy is client-centered and goal-oriented. I listen to my client's story and provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we will identify positive ways to make a change based on identified goals. I help clients draw upon their strengths to forge a new path.

My communication style

I strive to create an environment that is non-judgmental and client-focused. I am truly an empathetic listener and take pride in getting to know my client's story. I also believe that sharing a smile and a laugh goes a long way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up volunteering and knew I would choose a career focused on helping others. I have a passion for working with people and truly respect everyone's individuality. After working in hospitals and mental health settings, I wanted to devote more time to providing individual therapy.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by building a trusting relationship with my clients and setting goals based on their individual needs and strengths while respecting their preferences and values. During our time together, goals will mutually be agreed upon, and we will alter and adjust as goals are met and new goals are identified.

Our first session

During our first session, the majority of the time will be spent getting to know you and the reason you are seeking therapy. I hope to create a comfortable, welcoming platform allowing you to openly share information about yourself so we can build a relationship starting on day one. I also want to use that first session to ensure we are a good fit.
