Teletherapy for 04105

We often find ourselves stuck in all too familiar negative patterns. Patterns of behavior that we know don't serve ourselves or our loved ones. Patterns of thought that always seem to tear us down no matter how much progress we make. Patterns within relationships that are less than we deserve. Patterns of anxiety and stress that feel out of our control. Many of us have worked hard to understand and change these patterns: setting goals, self-help books, therapy, medication, meditation, and so on. Yet we find that the deepest patterns are frustratingly stubborn, seeming to rise to the surface no matter how much work we've done.

Change can be an overwhelming and frustrating journey if done alone. Seeking support from a counselor is a sign of personal strength and can help you to achieve more effective and gratifying results. I believe people have the innate strength to overcome their barriers. However, we all need guidance and support at times to learn how to untap our power, potential, and abilities. At your own pace, we will collaborate to find a balance of cognitive, behavioral, and mind/body techniques that will help you to connect to yourself, cope with stress, and create effective solutions to the challenges you may be facing.

It’s important to feel comfortable coming to therapy just as you are. Many of us experience major life changes, challenging relationships, grief, guilt, anxiety, or trauma reactions, that cause us to feel self-doubt, to feel disconnected from our needs and bodies, and to even minimize our own experiences. My approach, which is intersectional, developmentally focused, and trauma-informed, helps you tap into the knowledge your body and emotions have for you, while developing skills so these feelings don’t overwhelm and take center stage. I have current openings for EMDR, new parents with perinatal mood disorders, and LGBTQ folks.

Hello! My name is Mira. I believe that our power comes from our story. Our power as well as our challenges. Your lived history is what brought you to this present moment, and as a counselor, I aim to help you discover where patterns emerged, help you make connections to your current life, and help you to use concrete methods to transform the challenges into dependable tools for your path forward. I meet clients both in person, and remotely, and offer evening sessions as well.

I believe that every individual has the inherent capability to make changes to better their lives. My goal is to foster relationships that best support client strengths, tailoring therapy that fits the indivdual(s). In my practice, I employ behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and mindfulness work. I work with adults, couples and families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, and spirituality concerns, and those who are in the midst of separation/divorce, or having parenting issues or communication challenges within family and/or peer relationships.

No matter your situation or story, I believe you deserve to experience hope, healing, happiness, and personal growth. My role is to be a positive and encouraging support to you as you move through your therapeutic journey. My goal is to provide a safe, open, and supportive space for you to explore and work through whatever challenges you may be facing. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and solution focused as we work together at a pace that feels best for you.

I honor a person-centered approach which is the core of my practice. I utilize therapeutic models that support your well-being. These models include, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused (SF). I also work with couples utilizing the Gottman Method. I look forward to meeting with you.

Thank you for your interest in my counseling practice. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for several years and work with individuals 18 years and older. I specialize in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, peer related issues and provide guidance to individuals experiencing stress tied to life's challenges and transitions.

If you are someone looking for a space to process difficult emotions, develop new strategies for day to day life, or need to reflect on lived experiences; I provide a safe space to do so. I offer support in safe exploration of thoughts, complex emotions, developing of tools and strategies to help you on your path. I believe strongly that the key to success in therapy is the connection with the therapist, and hope to be a part of your journey.

Hello, I’m Kristel! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is committed to supporting clients through the journey of self-discovery and healing. I seek to create a safe space for clients to explore issues using an open, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach. I believe there is healing power in seeing and being seen.

Congratulation on taking a most challenging first step- reaching out and being willing to create change. I believe the primary goal of therapy is increased self-awareness. You may have parts of yourself that you are unconscious of, that you don't understand or that you belief that you can't change. Those perceptions can lead you to living a life that may not be in your best interest- causing painful experiences and ultimately preventing you from sharing your authentic self and who you are meant to be in the world.

Making the choice to start therapy can be a scary step. I believe that every client should be supported by a therapist who brings a sense of realness, support, encouragement, and knowledge to each and every session. You should be able to walk into every session with a feeling of comfort and safety discussing your struggles. My goal is to bring those qualities while helping clients find relief, understanding, and their purpose.
