The transition from high school to whatever lies beyond it for you can be challenging. Suddenly, the whole world is in front of you and there is no set "map" for what is next. You can choose college, or a career. You can stay in your home town or move far away. You have increased opportunities to explore your own identity, make choices about romantic partnerships, and consider whether you'd like to start your own family some day. Your friends' lives are changing too; some will remain in your life and you'll grow apart from others. Your relationship with your family is also changing-- both in ways that feel helpful and ways that feel hard or sad. There are so many new decisions to make, people to meet, places to explore. For some young adults, these changes feel exciting. Others feel overwhelmed and even paralyzed, frozen, by all of these changes at once. Often, there are a mix of emotions present. As we adjust to the demands of a new job or a difficult college class, or living away from our families for the first time, we may notice increased stress or big emotions that feel difficult to manage. Times of transition can also stir up past wounds such as memories of difficult or traumatic events or tense relationships with loved ones. We may find ourselves experiencing increased symptoms of worry, intense sadness, decreased motivation, conflict with other people, or intrusive thoughts and memories that affect our ability to sleep or concentrate. Some of us may try to cope by using alcohol or other substances, and we may start to wonder if this is really as helpful as we once thought it was. Young adulthood can be so many things, both wonderful and challenging. Sometimes, therapy can be a helpful way to sort it all out or heal from difficult events that continue to make daily life difficult. I enjoy working with young adults as they navigate this unique season of life, and would be honored to walk alongside you in this work. I believe you are incredibly resilient, meaning you are capable of getting through hard things. My approach is to work as a team with you to identify the strengths you already have, discuss your goals, and determine which strategies might be most helpful to help you reach those goals. I also understand the importance of finding the right match when you are looking for a therapist. Feel free to visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation and we can chat to see if we are a good fit. I accept multiple insurance plans, and can offer both in-person and telehealth therapy. www.quietudetherapy.com

Hi, I'm Jillian Varamo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University in 2013. I specialize in the management of anxiety, depression, women's issues, life transitions, and self betterment. Based in Delaware and Pennsylvania, I use a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives, but I'm not here to throw around therapeutic buzzwords. My priority is to maintain a genuine and authentic connection with you. My role is to create supportive environment where you can openly express yourself and begin to shift your perspective. I believe that how we think has a profound impact on how we feel and behave. Together, we can explore these connections and work toward achieving the positive changes you desire for your mental well-being. I understand that starting the process can feel intimidating, especially when you may be at your most vulnerable. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking to enhance your overall well-being, I am here to guide you through the challenges and celebrate your progress. Let's work together to uncover the tools you need to improve your mental wellness and live a fulfilling life.

You’ve carried a lot — maybe more than anyone around you realizes. Trauma has a way of showing up everywhere: in your relationships, your self-esteem, your body, your thoughts. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the past or stuck in patterns you desperately want to break, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this alone. I believe healing happens when you’re truly supported — when you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow into the warrior you are. I work with folks who are ready for something to change, even if they’re not sure what healing looks like yet. I want you to feel grounded, confident, and whole. Together, we take things at your pace. We explore old wounds with care, rebuild boundaries with clarity, and create space for you to rediscover your strength. Using trauma-informed approaches, I’ll help you gently untangle the experiences and patterns that have kept you stuck, so you can move forward with more freedom and self-compassion. If you’re ready to start that journey, I’d be honored to support you.
