2024 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Mental Health Champion

A Path to Hope

Exton

“A Path To Hope helped me to find the resources out there for my struggling teen. Before learning about APTH, I was cold calling therapists and googling different types of therapies. However, once I learned of their resource pages and support groups, I felt more equipped to find the right help for my daughter.”

Mental Health Champion

Center for Families

Malvern

“Center for Families saved our family. My daughter had a plan to end her life and we found ourselves in the emergency department for the third time in six months, hopeless. We had become all-too-familiar with the process of being referred to another mental health program that would be a temporary fix. Center for Families was unlike any of my daughter’s previous placements. Upon entering the building you could truly feel the love. They represent what this Love Award is all about. While at CFF, my daughter began to open up and communicate more about what was bothering her, and as a family we were included in sessions so that we could all heal together. My daughter was able to return to school and excelled in her academics. Two years ago my daughter was unable to get out of bed and next year she will be attending college to study psychology and become a therapist to help teens. Our family is extremely grateful for the amazing staff at CFF.”

Growth Minded LLC

Bryn Mawr, Wayne, and West Chester

“I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Teen mental health has been through it with the pandemic, many world crises, and the impact of social media, and most counselors have long waiting lists. Growth Minded LLC has assembled an amazing team of excellent therapists who, even though they have hefty patient loads, never make scheduling a problem. They are kind, deeply competent, and have been a real blessing to my teenage daughters. I could not be more of a fan!”

Halcyon Therapy

Malvern

“Halcyon Therapy has been such an important and impactful part of my life. Melissa is such an incredible resource for all things motherhood, mental health, and the in-between. Her outlook and help managing through some of my hardest times really pushed me forward, and I would not be who and where I am today without her support. Melissa goes beyond the scope of a therapist, offering ideas and tips for things outside of our sessions. I am so grateful to Halcyon Therapy!”

– Kim S.

– Main Line Parent Community Parent

This has been especially important for one of our children who has ADHD, ED, PTSD, and a suspected personality disorder. Our child is now the most stable they’ve been in years, thanks to Dr. MacIntyre and their therapist.”

Nicole McNelis, Licensed Professional Counselor

Phoenixville

“Nicole beautifully and warmly creates a safe space for women to share, question and heal during their motherhood journey. She personally knows the difficult experiences that can take place in motherhood. This understanding provides a compassionate prospective that allows her to authentically meet you where you are. She also shows empathy to her patients, as she knows the anxious anticipation of a mom-to-be, the sudden change of a new role as a mom, or the everyday load that a mom feels. Nicole truly wants to walk by your side and help.”

– Lauren E.

“My son has been coming here for therapy for a few years. The staff here are AMAZING and very responsive.

I cannot say enough for how much Lauren helped my son!”
