Between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh sits a lot of Pennsylvania where a trauma specialist is an hour's drive or a months-long waitlist away. You should not have to choose between the care you need and the miles it takes to get there.
Why Online Therapy in Pennsylvania
Specialized Trauma Care, Without the Drive
Pennsylvania is a big state with two busy metros and long rural stretches in between. Outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, clinicians trained in EMDR and somatic trauma work are scarce, and many keep closed waitlists. Online therapy erases the drive. You meet from wherever you are, on your own schedule.
Virtual trauma therapy is not a compromise. You stay in your own environment, and the work settles into your real life rather than a distant office an hour away.
Serving adults across Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Reading, Scranton, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and every community between.

FAQ
Online Trauma Therapy in Pennsylvania: Common Questions
Do you offer online trauma therapy in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Dr. Reyna Aday is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania (LPC #PC014148) and works with adults statewide by secure video. You need to be physically located in Pennsylvania during each session. Sessions run on Eastern Time.
I live outside Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Can you still help?
Yes, and this is exactly where telehealth matters most. Specialized trauma and EMDR providers cluster in the big cities. Because Dr. Aday sees clients virtually, your zip code does not decide your access. Clients join from Allentown, Erie, Reading, Scranton, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and rural counties across the state.
Is online EMDR as effective as in-person EMDR?
Research and clinical experience both show virtual EMDR can be just as effective when it is paced well. Dr. Aday is an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and keeps the work inside your window of tolerance, on a screen or in the room. The nervous system responds to safety and attunement, not to the distance between two chairs.
What kinds of trauma do you work with online in Pennsylvania?
Dr. Aday works with adults navigating complex trauma and PTSD, narcissistic abuse recovery, anxiety and depression rooted in trauma, burnout and nervous-system dysregulation, and the effects of trauma on the body and intimacy. Treatment draws on EMDR, somatic therapy, and nervous-system regulation.
