Dr. Helen Coons
I am a clinical psychologist and a board-certified clinical health psychologist who specializes in women’s health and mental health in Pennsylvania. My private practice rotates to women’s primary care, obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, oncology and urogynecology settings. I specialize in the interdisciplinary care of women across the life span with health, mental health, relational, sexual, family and professional concerns. My consultation and treatment promotes recovery and resilience in women and couples coping with a variety of physical and emotional concerns. I'm also a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the Drexel University College of Medicine.
