Altoona has always been a city that takes care of its own — a tight-knit, healthcare-anchored community where thousands work in caregiving roles themselves. We’re proud to bring CPA Counseling’s approach here: the personal, relationship-first feel of a boutique practice, with a team large enough to match you precisely to the right therapist. Our programs are designed to produce results in months, not years, and every therapist is hand-selected by Cristina Panaccione for skill, character, and care.
CPA Counseling offers both options in Philadelphia. You can see a therapist in person at our Center City office at 1518 Walnut Street, near Rittenhouse Square and the Walnut-Locust SEPTA station, or meet by secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth from anywhere in Pennsylvania. Many clients mix both — in-person when it suits their schedule, virtual when it doesn’t. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and most major insurance plans are accepted.
