Find therapy you’ll love, covered by insurance

The story you’re telling yourself isn't working.

You wake up, you go to work, you come home, and you feel… nothing. Or maybe you feel too much. A tightness in the chest. A shadow that follows you into the room. You tell yourself it’s just stress. You tell yourself it’s just a phase.

But you know that’s a lie.

I’m Raphael Alfaro. I don’t deal in lies. I deal in the truth you’re afraid to say out loud.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, but think of me as an editor for the manuscript of your life. You’ve been writing a tragedy, or a boring procedural, or a chaotic thriller, and you don’t know how to write the next chapter.

I do.

I serve all of Pennsylvania, but I don't need a mahogany desk or a waiting room to do it. The work we do is virtual because the breakthrough doesn't happen in my office, it happens in your head. I’m on the screen, in your living room, or wherever you feel safe enough to finally be honest.

I bring the tools: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to sharpen your focus, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to steady your hands, and a narrative approach that helps you realize you aren’t a character in someone else’s play. You’re the author.

We handle the messy parts: Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, the Bipolar swings that make you feel like you’re losing your grip. I’ve seen it all. I’ve helped people rewrite it all.

We take the insurance Blue Cross, Aetna, Humana because peace of mind shouldn't cost you your livelihood.

Stop waiting for the plot to twist in your favor. It won’t. You have to twist it yourself.

Reach out. Let’s sit down. Let’s start writing a story you actually want to read.
