In Person Therapists in 17601

I see my role in therapy as one who serves as a guide for clients as they remove whatever blocks their path to personal growth and healing. We work to determine the sources of why actions intended to fix problems repeatedly fail the objective. Strategies taught during sessions teach people to create their own plan for change. Therapy is provided for those who have endured child and/or adult trauma, those who who are overwhelmed by loss, or those seeking direction as to how to optimistically manage problems and move forward on their own path to personal fulfillment.

To those who know me best, I am considered a genuine “encourager” of people, compassionate yet direct. You don't have to journey through life alone. I seek to create a safe and confidential space for children, adults, couples, and families to process life and find greater purpose, healing and joy. I have graduate degrees in both theology and counseling with over 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds in a strengths-based way that infuses hope. I integrate a variety of relational and experiential approaches to best meet your needs and will use faith based counseling for those interested.

As a parent and a psychologist, the multiple demands placed on parents and kids can make it difficult to get through the day. I am always in awe of my clients' ability to navigate these challenges and make changes to help improve their child's behavior, emotion regulation, and relationships. I specialize in ADHD and Anxiety in toddlers, children, teens, and adults, and provide evidence-based therapy and evaluations in these areas. I also provide evidence-based ADHD evaluations for adults. Please keep advocating for your and your child's well-being - they deserve it. Get to know me better at CenterForActiveMinds.com.

Do you feel alone with your thoughts and feelings? Have you recently become pregnant, given birth or struggled with a loss? Do you have scary thoughts and you don't know why? Do you feel like you have lost your identity? Do you often feel sad, anxious or angry? This is just a handful of ways that mothers and mothers to be may feel and are not sure how to seek help or feel better. Becoming a mother, or having the desire to be a mother, brings a lot of changes into your life. These changes include but are not limited to, hormonal, relational, emotional, mental and physical.

For the past 20 years, I have applied a strengths-based, skill building perspective to assist clients in achieving their personal and professional goals. Clients have included youth and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, the impact and outcomes of trauma and relationship issues.

Have you been thinking lately about alternatives to deal with your past trauma? A current life situation left you feeling stuck? Do you need additional help to overcome anxiety, stress, or deep sadness? Then, there is a possibility that you are feeling ready to begin your healing journey. Because all life experiences are different, we offer a welcoming and non-judgmental environment that assists you in healing at your own pace. In addition, you, a family member, or a friend can benefit from our evidence-based therapies with a person-centered approach.

Helping individuals, couples, and families successfully manage their challenges and develop strong, positive relationships is the main focus of my practice. I believe in using a variety of approaches and tailoring these to my client's needs to produce the changes and growth my client is seeking.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker who also is certified in addiction care with over 20 years of experience working in both the inpatient and outpatient settings out in the community and within large healthcare systems. I work with individuals, couples and families across the lifespan and with a board spectrum of needs and concerns. I have a special interest in Trauma Therapy and Addiction issues, as well as co-occurring disorders.

In my nearly 20 years as a psychologist it has become clear to me that entering into therapy takes courage. It takes courage to look at one's struggles and go near painful aspects of life. It takes courage to make changes; in the way we see ourselves, our relationships and our future. As a therapist, I see my role as not the agent of change, but as someone who 'walks with' the person who is courageously ready to change. I enjoy working at changes in individuals and couples as well as families.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13+ years of counseling and supervisory experience who enjoys working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. In my therapy practice, I use one-on-one, couples and family sessions. The clients I work with can expect sessions to focus on the negative thoughts and behaviors that are holding them back, the life events that created them, and ways to improve satisfaction in their lives and relationships.

I believe everyone has inherent value, has purpose, and belongs in this world. A person can be greatly impacted by stress, life changes, trauma, and pain/hurt which can lead people to believe they do not have value or feel no longer worthwhile. People can heal from these things and can learn new skills to better regulate emotions. Sometimes people just need someone to show up and help guide the healing process. We can heal the hurt and find ways to move forward in life. I work to provide a calm, safe, open, non-judgmental space to allow this process to begin.

I believe that in order for us to be our best selves, we need connection with one another. I strive to help individuals find value and connection with others through healthy relationships. Asking for help in personal and painful situations is a vulnerable and humbling experience. Through the use of a variety of approaches, I seek to help individuals feel accepted, hopeful and not alone in their situation.

Individuals, couples and families can become stuck in unhealthy patterns and then feel hopeless that things will never be different. I enjoy hearing client's unique stories and holding the hope for change until clients have reclaimed their hope. Specific areas of experience include: anxiety, depression, grief/loss, transitions, parenting struggles, addictions, ADHD, and learning disorders.

Over my 30 years of experience, I have seen that when clients reach out for therapy, it is a sign of strength and a willingness to change.
