Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 19101

I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with over 7 years of experience, I am a husband, father, and Army veteran. I use my background, experiences, education and talents to work with teens and adults who are struggling to manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and changes in relationships. I am dedicated to supporting my clients with positive regard using CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused and other techniques. I help to engage the self-healing potential we all possess. I believe in the importance of addressing the whole person, the mind-body-spirit needs of every person. I promote healthy lifestyle choices, boundaries and selfcare.

Overwhelming experiences can leave us feeling anxious, doubtful and depressed. This may be right after the experience or some time later. I provide a safe, supportive relationship in order to help resolve those difficult feelings, but also to find a deeper understanding of the impact trauma had on you and your path to healing and thriving. I am available for telehealth in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, DC, Georgia, Illinois Kansas Kentucky Maine Maryland Minnesota Missouri Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia West Virginia, Wisconsin

My clinical practice is specialized to help adolescents & adults struggling with eating disorders, body image, OCD, PTSD, phobias, & other anxiety concerns. My ideal client has goals related to behavior change to improve functioning and quality of life. I believe that such goals are achieved by reconstructing problematic thoughts, exposing to fears, tolerating discomfort, effectively regulating emotions, and changing unhelpful behaviors. I also believe that a strong therapeutic alliance functions as a vehicle for change. I emphasize scientifically-proven treatments to help clients make measurable progress in a time-efficient manner.

Do you feel like life is not worth living? Have you lost a loved one and see no happiness without them? It can happen with death, suicide, or divorce. Do you feel like a failure, ashamed of yourself and are angry with yourself because you cannot change? Do you feel that you are not like others and can do nothing about it? You are likely depressed. Have you suffered a trauma - rape, auto accident, military incident and relive the horror? Are you anxious and constantly afraid? You may have PTSD. Call for a free consultation.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Struggling with your relationships? We humans are wired for connection. When life's experiences damage those connections, we end up depressed, anxious, angry & unhappy, often turning to unhealthy lifestyles including alcohol, food, drugs & overspending. We suffer & our relationships suffer. Therapy allows time for exploring these disconnections & learning new skills for connecting to ourselves, others & the world, so we can live the life we want. I can help you clarify & work productively with these issues, develop your strengths, & experience a greater overall sense of well-being.

I work with clients by utilizing their strengths in order to find solutions to their emotional and behavioral concerns. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral techniques that are individualized to your needs and focusing on a collaborative relationship we will work together to improve your ability to cope with life's stressors. We will identify the negative thought patterns that interfere with your ability to reach your maximum potential by learning more adaptive thought patterns that don't interfere with what you hope to accomplish.

It is a mystery as to why things happen to us. It becomes even more complex as to how we will heal. Sometimes the emotional pain can become too difficult to get through alone and we often seek additional help. Whether you're suffering from a loss of a loved one, a marital conflict, stress, anxiety, or even PTSD, there is still hope. I believe that true healing comes from healthy attachments to self and others, meaningful mind-body connections, and by gaining better control over your thoughts, emotions and physical being.

We often encounter roadblocks in our lives that make it difficult to move forward. If you are feeling an overwhelming sense of anxiety, struggling with past trauma, having trouble making decisions, or feeling depressed much of the time, I am available to help you. I have had the opportunity to work with all types of clients, helping them bring about change and understanding in their lives. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as EMDR, and feel confident in the effectiveness in these and other treatments to reduce/eliminate many different types of symptoms.

I approach therapy as if I am building a team. I will be a coach, guide or facilitator as the need dictates. My aim is to engage my clients in a collaborative growing and healing venture. Meeting people where they are in their life is key to how I work and enable my clients to succeed. Because of my diverse work and life experiences, I am well-suited to work with people from different social and cultural backgrounds, ages 14 to 85.

I am by nature compassionate, intuitive and accepting, and 40 years of experience with an enormous range of client issues have honed my deep understanding of the messy emotional processes most of us have to go through. Do you feel stuck, ashamed, confused, needy, depressed, overwhelmed? Want to improve your relationships, deal with your past, heal from trauma, feel more connected, empowered or grounded? With respect and mutual exploration I will be able to help you uncover the clues and solutions you're looking for. I meet you wherever you are, in an atmosphere of trust and honesty.

First things first: You are the expert on your experience! My role as your therapist is to support you in unearthing and building on the strengths you possess, the insights you hold, and the world you envision for yourself. As a therapist, I am inspired by authentic connection and collaborative work. Whether it's your goal to manage anxiety and stress, build a healthier relationship with your body and self, engage in healing around traumatic experiences, or develop more rewarding relationships, I provide a non-judgmental space in which we'll work together to explore those things that feel hardest to manage alone.

Experiencing deep pain and suffering can be a scary, lonely place to be. Regardless of the one's experiences and circumstances, I am here to clinically and professionally, yet warmly with compassion and genuineness, help through these times. I love what I do have been professionally helping people through tough times for over 25 years.

Do you need guidance in finding happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you need someone who can help find your strengths? Are you having trouble achieving healthy relationships because of a traumatic experience? I believe that your past experience made you who you are today. What happened to you will always be a part of you, but it should not define you. I'm here to help you process your past and together we will plan your future. Don't leave yourself alone with your suffering. Let's work together to find meaningful purpose in your life's turmoil.
