Adults Therapists in 19355

Are you angry, withdrawn, or stressed out? Do you often feel like you're spinning your wheels? I am an active therapist who will help you make meaningful, lasting change in your life. I see people who want a thorough and challenging therapy experience. Relationships, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (and how they intermingle) are vital, and a focus of my work. My clients appreciate my balance of compassion with a direct, straightforward approach. I have advanced training in various psychotherapy approaches.

Welcome! I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families to help strengthen relationships, identify attachment challenges, heal from trauma, and address symptoms of depression and anxiety. I also specialize in adoption related challenges and attachment disorders. I am also a LGBTQIA competent ally interested in supporting you and/or your family.

It’s hard to pin down what’s wrong exactly, but something is wrong. Life is starting to feel out of control, and you don’t know how to get back on track. Maybe you’re a frustrated parent, and you’re worried about the direction your child’s life is taking. This probably isn’t your first time considering therapy, but you’re hoping something changes this time. Let’s make that change together.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and wellness advocate who believes in focusing on the mind-body connection for a holistic approach to healing. I am committed to creating collaborative spaces ​where people feel seen, heard, and valued. My therapeutic approach integrates contemporary psychology and Eastern spirituality. My style is warm and focused on offering a compassionate presence. I practice from a strengths-based perspective and believe in every individual’s ability to heal, grow, transform, and thrive.

Are you in emotional pain and ready for a change? Are anxiety, depression, self-defeating behavior or relationship issues standing between you and your happiness or personal goals? My aim is to help you begin healing as quickly as possible, even when the issues are long-standing. As a therapist, I am actively engaged in the process and collaborate to help you remove barriers and learn to use your innate capacities for growth. Together, we will explore the present and seek out transformational processes, rather than focus on the past or simply relive old wounds as a more traditional approach might.

Life is full of challenges that test our resilience and leave us questioning or doubting ourselves. Therapy is a place to get the support you need to move forward and discover new meaning and joy in your world. While I tend to focus on the here and now of life’s obstacles, during therapy, we will likely explore family patterns and incorporate mindfulness to help you feel more in control in the future.

I am a Licensed Social Worker specializing in working with teens and adults experiencing issues around life stage transitions, self-esteem, existential crisis, and relational issues. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated and curious to explore parts of themself which are often challenging to address ( like: guilt, shame, anger, inter-generational trauma). I have extensive experience working with clients in all levels of care addressing suicidality, addiction, self-harm, and sexual trauma. My therapeutic focus is to use system perspective and relational techniques to increase self-worth and self efficacy.

Sometimes life hands us more than we can deal with on our own; that’s why I became a therapist- to help people manage through difficult times so they can find a sense of safety & security to function at their best. Whether it's due to stress, anxiety, relationship/family challenges, or past emotional pain, we’ll work together to help you discover what you need to heal and grow. As a licensed therapist as well as a clinical supervisor of therapists, over the years, I’ve guided hundreds of individuals, couples, parents, and families in defining and connecting to the ideals, values, and relationships that made them feel whole again.

I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, attachment disorders and relationship complications (including relationships with high conflict individuals). My goal is to support you in the journey back to your true self and provide tools that allow you to find your worth, deepening the connection with yourself in order to have healthier connections with others.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a focus on providing trauma-informed care. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the individuals and families I serve. I am strengths-based and work to empower individuals to make change and regain control in their lives. With a training background in treating individuals who have been impacted by trauma, I understand that healing, finding peace, making change and recovery is a process that takes time.

My aim as your therapist is to create a space where healing, empowerment, strength, and growth can be experienced. To achieve this, I draw upon interventions of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you meet your goals in therapy. I believe therapy is not one thing for any one person, but that ultimately it can be a place where meaning and wholeness can be found. As your therapist I will always strive to meet you where you are at and to meet your needs in a way that is collaborative and effective.

I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological assessment. My services include: 1) comprehensive neuropsychological assessment for all types of neurological conditions that can impact children and adults; 2) time-limited psycho-educational treatment to improve attention, memory, and executive functioning; and 3) time-limited supportive therapy and psycho-education for individuals with post-concussion syndrome. Please note, I am not taking therapy clients at this time.

We sometimes feel isolated or alone when dealing with life's challenges. Whether feeling overwhelmed, frustrated by certain relationships in our lives, or trying to cope with a particularly challenging situation, I will help to create a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment to discuss these issues. Together we will explore your feelings, attitudes and perceptions towards these challenges and work to empower you to overcome these obstacles and live an emotionally healthy life.

Do you and your partner struggle to find common ground? Are communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, or the effects of childhood trauma impacting your relationship? As someone who understands the profound impact that early experiences can have on your emotional well-being, self-esteem, and relationships, I offer a compassionate and trauma-informed approach to healing. Whether you are seeking support as a couple or an individual, we will navigate the challenges, address the root causes of your struggles, and empower you to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

It takes a lot of Courage to seek help. For most, the journey begins when the struggle becomes overwhelming or unbearable. The Willingness to accept support & guidance usually does not come easy. I applaud anyone who does so. Basic human needs include survival, a sense of belonging, power, freedom and fun. When these elements are not in place or are out of balance, we can present as anxious, depressed, stressed out and angry. I work well with people who are wanting to gain clarity around imbalances, and who want to take action on making changes that align with, and help to maintain, personal integrity.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or having relationship problems? Have you tried therapy before that didn't work? Are you drinking too much or using substances and feeling depressed? You can change the way you feel and improve your life. I take an active approach to therapy that works. Call me and we can discuss your needs and goals so you can start to feel better.

My therapeutic approach is client driven, meaning whatever you’re looking to get out of therapy, I’m eager and willing to work toward that goal with you. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to face your fears and overcome challenges. Previous clients have told me that I am trauma-informed, honest, warm, and not afraid to give a gentle push when necessary.
