CLINiCIANS
AMANDA NINES, RD, LDN
I have been a Registered Dietitian since 2001, with experience in residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I received my Bachelors of Science Degree in Nutrition from West Chester University, graduating with honors and a minor in Psychology. I have worked at The Renfrew Center, The Seeds of Hope program, and the hospital system. I have worked extensively with male and female clients in emotional eating, eating disorders, weight management, and general wellness. My experience includes adults, adolescents, and children.
I am passionate about helping clients develop a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and body image. I have been licensed since 2003 and received my Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management in 2005.
DANIELLE BEAUMONT, PSY.D.
I enjoy working with strong personalities and have experience working with children, adults, teens, couples, and families through various challenges. I received my Master’s degree and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology through LaSalle University, where I developed an appreciation for mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical (DBT), as well as more traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
While completing my doctoral internship and my post-doctoral residency on a dual-diagnosis (mental health and substance dependence) long-term residential unit, I developed a deep understanding of trauma and how underlying mental health issues create and maintain alcoholism and drug dependency. Before receiving my clinical psychology training, I received a Master’s in Elementary Education from Drexel University. I also gained experience completing comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations for children ages 5-15 through CHOP’s ADHD clinic. I then spent ten years contracting in schools across the Philadelphia School District, completing evaluations for at-risk children to receive one-to-one support at their schools in the city’s most impoverished areas. In addition to the experiences listed above, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a large part of the catalyst for change. I like to use humor and genuine conversation to demystify therapy’s experience and help normalize people’s experiences through human connection.
Because of my clinical experiences, I truly believe that change is possible, even in the direst of circumstances. My ultimate goal is to increase your tolerance for distress so that you can handle what life inevitably throws at you and still take care of yourself, your responsibilities, and those around you in the most adaptive ways possible.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who specializes in providing treatment and psychological assessment services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety and depression, challenges related to inattention and hyperactivity, and who have a history of trauma. Additionally, I specialize in assisting parents to create positive changes in their children’s behaviors through tailored behavior management plans. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapeutic approach that is goal-oriented and focuses on developing positive coping skills. However, my approach is also integrative; I tailor my intervention to the needs of each family individually. Clients and families I have worked with describe me as warm, approachable, and relatable. I genuinely care about each of the families I serve, and work in every session to convey this. I view therapy as a collaboration between myself, clients, and their families, and I take this collaboration seriously when creating treatment goals and when determining our therapeutic progress. I am also well-versed in a large variety of assessment tools used for psychological and psychoeducational evaluation. I create a personalized assessment battery that provides information regarding diagnoses, accommodations and special education supports, treatment planning, and future goals. Information provided to families both verbally and in writing via my evaluations will be easy to understand and focused on how to best move forward in helping your child or adolescent. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Villanova University and obtained my doctorate from Loyola University of Maryland. I completed my clinical internship at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston, Massachusetts, and my postdoctoral fellowship at CARES Institute, a specialty clinic at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine that serves children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma.

I bring compassion, warmth, and understanding into their therapeutic space and believe in meeting my clients where they are at in their journey.
Katie Palombo, LPC
I like to look at people holistically when working together. Because our emotions and thoughts are not just felt, but also stored in the body, I believe that our physical states must be included in the therapeutic work that we do. I believe that it is important to meet people where they currently are at and then move along the therapeutic process together at a comfortable pace.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, life stressors and chronic pain/illness. I love uncovering and exploring with people the past events or beliefs that lead to their present day experiences. From there, we can together begin to understand your emotional and physical reactions and how to heal. This allows people to move forward in a more regulated and adaptive manner. I have worked with trauma survivors, specifically sexual and physical assault and other serious victimizations, for 10 years, and I love walking with people through that healing journey. I am certified in EMDR, which has changed not only the way that I practice, but also my whole conception of a person. EMDR can be used with trauma, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. I am also certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) which helps children who have experienced a traumatic event., and I specialize in working virtually. I have found that virtual therapy allows me to meet you where you are most comfortable, and I have also found it makes therapy easier and more convenient to access for people with busy lives or living with chronic pain. I look forward to meeting you and hearing how I can assist you on your healing journey!
Michelle Perna, LPC
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’ve helped many adolescents, adults, and families by providing a safe non-judgmental environment where they feel empowered to create change. I utilize a person-centered approach, as I value the importance of being authentic, as well as empathetic to my clients’ challenges and stressors of life. I believe the client is the expert, and the role of the therapist is to guide while the client draws on their own interpersonal strengths to reach their full potential, in addition to identifying tangible goals and solutions.

I also use Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Blaire Sharkey, LMFT
I have found that many see therapy as an outlet for people who have a problem. However, I’m here to share that therapy can be for anyone, for any reason.
The best fit is important, and I know I’m best suited for those who need an authentic and compassionate therapist, one who understands and meets you where you are emotionally.

My approach is informed through a systemic lens with focus on attachment styles as well as CBT, child development and contextual therapy. I am person-centered; strengths-based and often sprinkle in humor.
I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self- esteem, marriage/partnerships, ADHD, peer issues and problems at work or school. The more we talk, the more we heal. And where we focus, we create. I look forward to meeting you.
