Therapy for Women
For women who want to go beneath the surface, develop the courage to speak more freely, and actually receive what they desire in relationships.
Jaclyn Zeal, LMFT is an experienced relationship therapist licensed to treat clients throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Her work incorporates attachment science, nervous system regulation, and a depth-oriented approach to deepen relationships.
All sessions are conducted online, which makes high-quality relational therapy more accessible.
Your innate wholeness is stunning.
And isn’t that what so many of us are craving? To not be a project that needs fixing, but to feel abundantly, irrevocably whole?
Here’s a secret: you don’t need to be perfect or “healed” or whatever benchmark in order to acknowledge your wholeness. What it actually takes is eliminating all of the noise that keeps you feeling inadequate, broken, unsure.
Quieting that noise and turning up the volume on your own inner voice is work I love to embark on with women. Whether you are a mom, deep in the identity shape-shifting of motherhood, or a woman trying to navigate life transitions without losing yourself — building a strong center is vital to healthy and resilient relationships.
Some challenges my clients face:
Feeling lost, unable to reconcile head + heart
Struggles with identity +
self-trust in motherhood
Healing after relational wounding or betrayal
My approach blends:
Understanding your family patterns — We'll explore how your family dynamics shaped the way you show up in relationships today, and break cycles that no longer serve you
Attachment work — Learning your attachment style (and how it shows up when you're stressed) helps you build more secure connections with yourself and others
Rewriting your story — The way you tell your story matters. We'll use language as a tool to shift limiting beliefs and reclaim your narrative
Nervous system healing — You'll learn practical skills to calm your nervous system, stay present in your body, and respond (not react) to life's challenges

For a lot of women, therapy is the one hour that's actually theirs. I want it to feel that way.
I keep my caseload small so I can be genuinely present — not just in session, but in the thinking I do between them. You won't have to catch me up every time. I'll remember what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

My current hours are as follows:
Daytime hours on Tues/Thurs and evenings on Mon/Wed
Currently accepting a few new clients for September, 2026
Most of my clients see me weekly or biweekly, and we meet at the same time each week. I have limited floating appointments for those who have less predictable schedules.
-
At this time, I exclusively meet with clients virtually. I use Simple Practice as my platform, and it has a great HIPPAA-compliant and easy-to-use telehealth component.
-
Unfortunately, no. I am only licensed by the state of PA to treat clients. I can meet with clients across Pennsylvania online with my virtual platform, but clients must reside in the state of PA.
-
In order to ensure we are a good fit, I start things off with a free 20-minute consult call. During this consultation, we'll explore the goals of therapy and whether they align with my approach. It's important that we interview each other, as research shows that the "rightness of fit" of the therapeutic relationship has a huge impact on progress!
-
This is a very common question! Generally speaking, no. I don’t do both couples and individual work simultaneously. This is because I need to stay impartial for couples therapy for balance and trust. It’s also important that I don’t become a “secret keeper” if I’m seeing one member of the couple much more often.
However, I do have individual clients invite their partner in periodically when there is a focus on the relationship in the work.
In my work with couples, I also periodically do individual sessions (typically, one for each partner to create balance).
If you have more specific questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
-
My clients pay directly for therapy services (my client portal keeps your credit card on file, which makes it easy).
I accept all major credit cards and debit cards, plus HSA and FSA cards.
-
No, but many of my clients do seek insurance reimbursement since I am considered an out-of-network provider.
First, find out if you qualify for out-of-network benefits. If you do, our client portal automatically creates a superbill of the previous month’s invoices, which is what you will forward to your insurance company for reimbursement.
How to find out if you have out-of-network benefits:
Clients reach out directly to their insurance provider to find out if they have out-of-network benefits. You’ll call your insurance provider and ask the following questions:
• Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental or behavioral health with this policy?
• Do I have an out-of-network deductible?
• If yes:
• What is my out-of-network deductible?
• How much of my out-of-network deductible has been met?
• What is the start date of the calendar year my out-of-network policy is based on?
Ask the representative what percentage does the policy cover for the following services:
90791 - Intake Session
90834 - Individual psychotherapy
90847 - Couples Therapy
-
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If clients cancel within that window, they are charged a full session fee.
My client portal sends out appointment reminders 48 and 24 hours ahead of time, plus 15 minutes before appointments.
