Pennsylvania Mental Health Therapy Specialties
Plenty of practices cover the everyday concerns. Rowan goes further, into the areas few Pennsylvania therapists train for: health psychology for chronic illness and medical adjustment, rehabilitation psychology after injury or disability, and the mental weight of serious medical and neurological conditions. That depth changes outcomes. When your psychologist genuinely understands the condition you're living with, care fits more precisely and progress comes sooner, the kind of measurable improvement our work is built around.

See our approach →How We Work: Our Evidence-Based Methods
What does evidence-based care really look like once you're in the room? Rowan therapists don't lock you into one method. We draw from the approaches with the strongest research behind them for your situation, and adjust as your needs change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Structured work on the thought patterns behind anxiety, depression, and avoidance. It is the most researched therapy there is.
Learn more →Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Loosens the grip of painful thoughts while keeping you pointed at what genuinely matters to you.
Learn more →Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Catches the depressive spiral before it tightens, drawing on decades of clinical study.
Learn more →Humanistic & Existential Therapy
Meaning, identity, and the questions that surface when life veers off the plan. Depth work for when easing symptoms is not the whole goal.
Learn more →Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Practical skills for steadying emotions, riding out distress, and repairing relationships that keep going sideways.
Learn more →Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative way through change that keeps stalling, especially when one part of you wants the opposite of another.

What Our Pennsylvania Clients Say
Hear from people who found relief through therapy at Rowan Center.
I’d been to three therapists before Rowan. Nice people. No real change. The difference here is that they actually know chronic pain. Not from a textbook, but from working with patients who live it. My psychologist got it on day one. That mattered more than I can say.
R.K.
Honestly wasn’t sure therapy would help with the physical stuff. My neurologist suggested it after my MS diagnosis and I figured why not. That was fourteen months ago. I’m still in treatment but the anxiety around my symptoms is so much more manageable. Would not have predicted that.
D.M.
The Philadelphia office is an easy drive from the Main Line, and the care has been worth it. My psychologist took the time to understand the full picture before suggesting a plan, instead of handing me a worksheet on day one. I finally feel like I’m making progress.
P.S.
My daughter was diagnosed with a brain injury after a car accident and we spent months in the fog of rehab appointments and insurance battles and just trying to hold things together. Finding a psychologist who actually specializes in neuro rehab changed our whole trajectory. Not fixed, we’re still in it, but so much steadier.
C.W.
The assessment process alone told me more about my cognitive strengths and challenges than two years of trying to figure it out on my own post-TBI. Then the therapy actually addressed what the testing found. That kind of specific, layered approach is not easy to find in the Philadelphia area.
T.A.
I was skeptical because I’d heard “behavioral health” basically means they think your physical symptoms are in your head. Rowan is the opposite of that. They take the medical piece seriously and work alongside it. Finally felt like I was getting care, not a referral somewhere else.
L.F.
I can’t recommend Rowan enough!! First therapist who didn’t make me feel like I needed to explain what FND is before we could even start talking about how to manage it. We got right to work and I actually feel better? Like genuinely?? Took a few months to get going but now we’re moving.
A.B.
Good fit from the first session. Takes insurance. Did not have to spend an hour explaining my diagnosis before we could have a conversation. These things are not small.

Schedule a ConsultationPennsylvania Therapy Questions, Answered
Is online therapy legal in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Licensed Pennsylvania therapists can legally provide telehealth to anyone physically located in Pennsylvania at the time of the session. Rowan psychologists are licensed in Pennsylvania or authorized through PSYPACT, and our therapists and counselors hold active Pennsylvania licenses. All sessions use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. If you travel out of state, we pause sessions or coordinate with a licensed provider in that state.
Does Rowan Center accept my Pennsylvania insurance?
Rowan is in-network with Medicare, Aetna, and Cigna, and credentialed with TRICARE East as non-network providers. We also work with WA Worker’s Comp (L&I). For PPO plans we do not contract with, we provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA work for most services. We verify your benefits before your first session.
How much does therapy at Rowan cost?
Session rates depend on who you work with. Our licensed psychologists charge $275-$350 per individual session. Couples and family sessions range from $190-$350 depending on provider. If you use insurance we are in-network with, your cost is whatever your plan sets, often a copay between $20 and $60 per session. Out-of-network PPO patients typically pay the full fee up front and get reimbursed through a superbill. We accept check, credit/debit, and HSA cards.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many Pennsylvania clients come to Rowan without a formal diagnosis. Stress, life transitions, grief, or a new medical diagnosis all qualify as reasons to start. If insurance is billing, your therapist will identify an appropriate diagnostic code from your intake, but a diagnosis is a billing tool, not a gate to care.
How do I verify a therapist is licensed in Pennsylvania?
Look up any Pennsylvania-licensed therapist’s name on the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS). Rowan’s Pennsylvania team includes psychologists licensed in Pennsylvania or authorized through PSYPACT, plus therapists and counselors licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Each therapist’s license or PSYPACT authorization is listed on their profile page.
What if my therapist is not the right fit?
Tell us. Fit is the strongest predictor of good outcomes, and we would rather match you with a better-fit therapist on our team than have you stop therapy. We can usually reschedule you with a new provider within a week. There is no charge to switch inside the practice.
Is Rowan accepting new Pennsylvania patients?
Yes. Our Pennsylvania team has openings for new patients most weeks, online and in-person at our Philadelphia office. A free 15-minute consultation is the fastest way to check fit and get scheduled. If we are full in a specialty, we refer you to a vetted Pennsylvania therapist outside our practice.
How private and secure is online therapy with Rowan?
Every session runs on a secure, HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform. Your clinical notes live in an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant electronic health record. We never share your information with employers, schools, or family members without your written consent.
What is the difference between online and in-person therapy at Rowan?
Clinically, the research is clear: for most presentations, video therapy works as well as in-person. The difference is logistical. Online means no commute, easier weekly consistency, and the ability to meet from anywhere in Pennsylvania. In-person at our Philadelphia office gives you a dedicated therapy space away from home. Some people do a mix. You choose, and you can switch.
Do I need to live near Philadelphia to work with Rowan?
No. We see people by telehealth from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and everywhere in the commonwealth. Our Philadelphia office is available if you are in the greater Philadelphia area and want in-person care, but it is optional. Most of the people we work with never step into the office.
What specialties do you offer for Pennsylvania residents?
Health psychology, rehabilitation psychology, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, brain injury, chronic illness adjustment, couples and family therapy, and teen and adolescent therapy. Each has a dedicated team and a detailed page explaining our approach.
How quickly can I get a first appointment?
Most Pennsylvania clients book a first consultation within three to five business days. For active crisis or safety concerns, call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room, then reach out to us for ongoing care.
