I am an EMDR-certified clinician, and my specialization is trauma, grief, and loss. As a licensed clinician, I am here to help and support you to live your life authentically and cope with life challenges. I am continuing to maintain my Florida license and accepting Florida resident clients virtually. For my Pennsylvania residents, I accept in person and telehealth appointments.
My theoretical orientation is integrated. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I value self-care. I see myself as a growth-oriented individual, who is continuing to blossom each day. I am currently in the process of obtaining my doctorate degree in psychology. As I live up to my full potential, I want to help you live up to yours as well.

Jamie Hunara
Greetings! My name is Jamie Hunara, and I am a Licensed Social Worker in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with symptoms of PTSD and trauma through utilizing EMDR therapy. My goal is to help clients who are navigating difficult social, emotional, and environmental changes during transitional periods in life, providing them with a supportive space to navigate challenges and regain control.
My approach to counseling fosters the desire for self-improvement and goal setting. I have experience working with both teenagers and adults in various settings, including schools and crisis intervention services.
My therapy approach is integrative. I use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as draw on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Social Thinking, Person Centered Therapy, and Trauma Therapy.
I understand that each client is unique, so I tailor therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs, providing a non-judgmental and empathetic environment for clients to share their challenges and goals.

Gabriel Ceballos Franco
I am a bilingual, English/Spanish, Masters-level psychotherapist who views the complexities and suffering of life as an existential creation of meaning and purpose. As a multicultural psychotherapist, I integrate meditation, dream work, spiritual exploration, depth psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help my clients explore and understand their life stories. The first step in solving a problem is understanding what causes it. In essence, ways we see and understand life, relationships, and our place in life, get in the way of achieving our goals. As a Latin American immigrant, I understand, apply, and integrate the knowledge of scientific evidence-based interventions learned during my master's degree in the United States with cultural and ancestral practices learned through my life experience to help my clients achieve their goals. My commitment in life is to develop the potential of the members of my community and help them write a new paradigm. Welcome aboard!

El primer paso para resolver un problema es comprender sus causas. En esencia, la forma en que vemos y entendemos la vida, las relaciones y nuestro lugar en la vida puede interponerse en el camino para lograr nuestras metas.
