Zachary really listens and remembers in regards to what we talk about. I feel genuinely cared about and supported in a way no therapist ever has. Instead of simply talking about my week and having it go nowhere, he helps me make goals and doesn't make me feel bad if they arent attained. He simply sees it as an area to improve. I would 100000% recommend Zachary Soohy for anyone who is looking for a caring and agency-building therapist for help.

My name is Zach and I am honored you are interested in looking into me as a potential therapist! I am a licensed counselor in Pennsylvania and I have have been working as a mental health and substance abuse counselor for the last seven years. Helping people to gain the skills and abilities they need to help them build a better life for themselves is my goal.
I have worked in many different counseling fields in the last seven years, but my main areas of focus include: trauma, abuse, coping with life changes, addiction counseling, PTSD, depression, anxiety, phobias, and dealing with grief and loss. In addition, I am currently getting my specialization in trauma and abuse counseling.
As a counselor, I have been described by my former clients as being a “warm and interactive therapist who is willing to help his client's succeed in meeting their goals while respecting their unique life challenges”. I believe in unconditional positive regard for my clients and as such, I refrain from labels and judgment and instead deal with my clients with compassion and sensitivity.
Simply by seeking out help, you are taking a courageous and difficult step. While I may have the training you are seeking, you are the expert on the events in your life. True counseling is a two (or more) person job. I can lead you on the path you want to go and help guide you through life's pitfalls. I look forward to making this journey with you!
*Please note that if you are in need of a counselor to write official documentation for parole officers, courts of law, or employers, I do not offer this service to clients.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Zach has proven to be a great ally and therapist. He has an enormous amount of knowledge and has helped me through some extremely difficult times. I was unable to use the service for a while due to financial constraints. However, the moment I was able to, I came right back to work with Zach again. I highly recommend him!
Great listener who explains ideas well and makes the journey easy to follow
He can see right through me and he understands and is compassionate
Zachary is an awesome individual. He is very kind and respectful. He is very easy to talk to and very understanding. Zachary responds to my messages in a timely manner and I can undoubtedly say he is the best therapist I’ve had in my life.
He has been everything I could ask for in a therapist
Zachary provides great clinical insight and offers thoughtful solutions. Zachary is a great therapist and would recommend him to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or substance misuse.
Most Perfect therapist ever
Zachary is absolutely wonderful! He always has fun and interesting exercises, as well as a wealth of knowledge and wisdom about mental health and the world. 10 out of 10 recommend!
Extremely competent and caring. He is the kind of person to go out of his way to help you in any way he can.
Truly a pleasure to always meet and talk!
He’s awesome. He’s always willing to help and has different ways to help that keep things easier and more efficient
Zachary is a very patient, understanding and insightful therapist. I feel very comfortable sharing some very sensitive and personal with him and I really feel heard. He is responsive and kind. Thank you Zachary!
Zachary is so kind. I’m very fortunate to have been matched with him as my therapist. Admittedly, I am not very skilled at opening up and knowing where to start but Zachary always knows exactly what questions to ask to engage in those difficult conversations in the most seamless way. He instantly was able to pinpoint exactly what goals I wanted to focus on during our sessions and steps to begin accomplishing said goals. I never feel pressured; I always feel heard, understood, and validated.
Very understanding and I'm confident this is a good fit for me.
Zachary has been able to help me with several issues since I began therapy, and I am seeing changes in my thought process, relationships, and daily life. As a therapist he is calming, caring and understanding, and has provided many resources which I have put to use, that have proven to be very effective in my growth and healing process. He is an excellent therapist.
Zach's great, his approach in therapy is completely centered around the person and what they feel comfortable with.
Zach is really amazing!! So glad I have him as a therapist!!
Zach is the best. Very realistic and down to earth
Zachary has been such an incredible therapist! While maintaining professionalism, he has been very approachable, caring, friendly, and respectful. In every session we have had, he has provided a very safe space to allow me to share my experiences and then to begin working through them. It has brought me great comfort that he checks in between sessions, even if it’s just to ask how I’ve been doing that week. His knowledge and insight has been invaluable to me. I am very grateful!
Zachary is very good at what he does. He is an exceptional listener and tailors your therapy to your specific needs very well. You can tell he has a lot of experience and has a good balance of compassion and assertiveness that I need.
He’s a really nice guy. He’s understanding, good at his job, and always able to point me in the right direction for help or guidance on problems I struggle with on my own. I really appreciate being able to talk to him.
I was very nervous about starting therapy again, after reading Zach’s profile and his qualifications I felt A LOT better. I was still a little worried because I wanted a female therapist but after my second session with Zach I knew he would be able to help me through my issues and was a perfect fit for me.
First online therapy experience, and so far it has been much better than expected! Zachary is kind and seems like a good listener... does not make it feel like a virtual visit. Happy to have found him and this service!
Zach is the absolute best therapist I've ever been blessed to see. I've been in therapy upwards of 7 times in my life and have found him to be the most intuitive while assisting me with setting goals and providing positive regard.
Just starting.. Very pleased with Zachary's approach to my counseling!
