I work with clients to enhance self-awareness, insight, and skill sets for managing life. Our therapeutic experience will be a joint effort in reaching your goals! I work with adult couples struggling in their relationships, communication, and living styles over all stages of life. I work with children and teens in their social, emotional, educational, and family systems. I see adults attempting to clarify and reach life goals involving education, work, independence, esteem, and healthy relationships. I believe that a person moves in and out of their various life stages with the need to learn and sometimes re-learn life lessons.

Let’s face it...sometimes life can feel overwhelming and you might be wondering if therapy can help. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and you can determine if we might be a good match. I work with female adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, transitions, parenting issues and trauma. I believe that we each have many strengths within us, even if it doesn’t always feel that way, and that each of us is the expert of our own life and knows what we need to do to cope, heal and feel complete. I also know that sometimes those strengths and solutions can feel elusive and that’s where I can help.

Though my patients come from a variety of backgrounds, ages and lifestyles, they all have sleep problems. I help people with insomnia, chronic nightmares, perimenopausal sleep changes, restless sleep, and those who want to sleep without medication. I also help athletes who want to maximize their performance. My most successful patients want to sleep better and are willing to work for the changes they need.

I understand that calling a therapist can be anxiety provoking. There is something inherently strange and nerve-wracking in talking to a stranger about your deepest fears and challenges. But this uneasiness does not exist in my office. I will not blankly stare at you as you delve into your personal history. You will feel heard and understood. During sessions, I engage and interact on an authentic, human level. I provide a safe place for you to reveal your troubles and will help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are seeking.

Of the 10,080 minutes in a week, you will have 50 minutes to walk with a companion on your journey as you tell your beautiful and unique story. If you are exploring your gender and/or racial identity, let's work toward identifying how YOU want to. Coming out and navigating life as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community can be scary, but we can work on making it a little easier for YOU. Exploring your spirituality can feel overwhelming, but we can reduce that feeling for YOU one step at a time. You may notice a theme in the work we can do together. That theme... it is YOU.

You may be struggling in isolation with some difficult questions or decisions. Crisis can be productive as it calls upon us to see important truths that were previously overlooked or stifled. When sources of oppression and underlying causes of anxiety are recognized, they can be better managed. The result of successful therapy is lasting change and vitality. A professional therapeutic relationship provides you a safe place to tell your story to someone who is trained to listen deeply without judgment. I work to help clients identify and express the parts of themselves or unmet needs that they could not previously put into words.

More adults, adolescents and children are experiencing depression and anxiety than ever before. Family, work, academics, social stress and isolation can affect us emotionally and physically. There has been a significant increase in drug and alcohol use, behavioral problems, medical complications, broken relationships, lost jobs and academic failure. Social media and the internet provide tremendous opportunities but also problems. In person and cyber bullying cause depression and sometimes death. Some of us experience severe trauma and develop PTSD. At some time we are need support. It is never weak to ask for help.

Are you wrestling with worries, struggling to break a habit, do you get highly anxious doing things others do with ease? Does anxiety affect your relationships or mood? Do you get caught up in disappointments and hurts that are current or those stuck in the past that repeat in your head? Do you have losses, challenges, disappointments that impact your self-esteem and resliance?

We are a psychological practice dedicated to promoting the social, emotional, and educational competence and well-being of our clients. We take a warm and personalized approach to each of the children, adolescents, young adults and families with whom we work. Please explore our site to find out more about our services.

I believe that everyone should be in therapy. Yes, Everyone. We all have issues we're working through to become our fullest selves. There's nothing "wrong" with you - you, like the rest of us, just need some focused, loving attention to untangle old, emotional knots that are getting in the way of your clearest thinking and best self.

I empower women and individuals to navigate through the crossroads and transitions in life in order to help them live their best lives. Because research has shown that transitions in life trigger physical and emotional stress responses in the body, and having coping skills to effectively manage the stress of life's crossroads can provide the emotional stamina needed to thrive, I offer relationship counseling, individual counseling for anxiety, depression, grief and loss associated with life transitions, and relationship issues.

**Dr. Shotwell is not accepting new clients at this time.** Are you wondering if it's possible to change your life? It is. It just takes courage, and support! People seek therapy for many reasons, ranging from current stress to more chronic issues or existential questions. As a licensed psychologist, I have experience helping people of many different backgrounds, life stages, challenges, and strengths. I look forward to helping you learn to cope with problems, discover more about yourself, and become more in tune with your own values so you can achieve your goals and create a life you enjoy.

Each of us faces unique challenges as we go through life. Whether these challenges take the form of problems with work or relationships, with anxiety or depression, or simply with dissatisfaction over the current state of our lives, we all want to make improvements in how we experience our lives. We may also find that life presents certain demands of us at different stages requiring us to stretch beyond our accustomed habits and ways of being. Often our challenges can seem daunting, at times insurmountable, yet with the right support and perspective, we can be inspired to make positive changes.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and counter-productive behaviors/thoughts in adolescents and younger adults. As a licensed professional counselor and long-time yoga instructor, I offer a holistic and eclectic approach to counseling, viewing each client as an individual with unique life stories, areas of strength and areas of needed growth. My goal is to help my clients feel empowered in their lives so they can build - or get back to - a happy, conflict-free and fulfilling life, day-to-day.

I work only with adolescents and young adults (14-25). I have years of experience working with adolescents with high-risk and unsafe behaviors, and help clients stabilize their unsafe symptoms to prevent the need for higher levels of care such as partial hospitalization programs and inpatient hospitalization.​ I practice from the perspective of existential humanism which focuses on building a therapeutic relationship based on genuine, authentic, unconditional positive regard to explore and understand one's idea of self within the limits of the human condition.

We are a group of mental health practitioners devoted to bringing the best practices in psychotherapy to children, adolescents, families, and couples. We work against the cultural grain of increasing isolation and emphasis on individual pathology in mental health treatment. Taking guidance from the growing body of research on interpersonal neurobiology, we address a wide range of personal and interpersonal problems through relationship-based therapies that tap the tremendous healing power of families.

I view therapy as a collaborative process for growth and healing. I believe in meeting people where they are in life and helping them meet their goals. I provide a supportive environment and will challenge clients to meet their full potential. If you are ready to face your challenges in life, I am here to help.

Nick Herrick is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is currently accepting new clients to his private practice in Media, PA. A graduate of the Philadelphia Child and Family Therapy Training Center and former clinician with Child Guidance Resource Centers Family First department, he has extensive experience working with couples and families struggling with intense mental health and relational problems. He specializes in treating adolescents who present with explosive anger and defiant behavior, training parents to recognize and effectively respond to symptoms of anxiety and depression in their children, and helping adults co-parent effectively following separation and divorce.

What's important to me is working with others to find meaning in life, to help bring about a greater happiness that's shared. I believe it's possible to do this is we are able to understand ourselves better - we can then understand others and our connections become deeper and more alive.
