Therapists in 19066

Hi! My name is Yanina Marti, and I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have always been passionate about helping others and sharing my knowledge. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with a variety of populations with different backgrounds and see them thrive and succeed after life has presented them with difficult challenges.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, illness, anxiety, depression, women's issues, postpartum depression and issues related to chronic health.

I see problems as opportunities to grow whether I am working with a child, adolescent or adult, individually or in couples or family therapy, and whether it is a single symptom or incident, or long-standing difficulty that brings someone to therapy. I identify and help develop strengths as we explore and change thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship patterns, and resolve difficulties that prevent someone from reaching their goals and creating a fulfilling life. My work with children involves helping them reach the appropriate developmental goals as they build the skills needed for life ahead.

We can work together to find ways to to understand what gets in the way of living your life more fully. I have over 30 years experience working with individuals and couples in a supportive and thoughtful way. Changing old patterns to improve your relationships both at work and at home will allow you to have more options in your life. Our work is confidential and the highest standards of privacy are maintained.

Challenge is inevitable in our lives and our relationships. At times we may not know how to cope with or manage all that life brings. My approach to therapy involves warmth, compassion, and unconditional acceptance. Providing a safe space for personal and relational exploration to help clients understand, honor, and respect their deepest needs. Healing is a journey and I provide a space to be open and authentic, to feel what needs to be felt, and to move toward what matters most in your personal life and relationships.

I'm Dr. Cheri Carter. As a therapist, I strive to meet you where you are. You are the expert of your life! My job is to help you identify and acknowledge your strengths, so you can build on them. Everyone has a story. Tell me yours, then decide if we're a match. If so, together we will identify goals and build a plan to accomplish them. Let's work together on your journey to emotional and mental wellness.

I believe that psychotherapy is best done as a collaborative process. I have the training and experience and you, the client, bring all you know about yourself and your life. Together, we develop goals, both long and short term, that hopefully will lead to active awareness, emotional relief and behavioral changes.

My name is Dr. Jeff Selman and I am a licensed psychologist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and a certified school psychologist. I offer evidence-based psychological services to individuals across the lifespan and their families. These services include Autism and ADHD assessment, individual and family therapy, parent behavior management training and coaching, and consultation and training for schools and community agencies. My approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavior therapy, and my sessions tend to be active, collaborative, goal-oriented, and engaging.

If you are reading this, you have already begun your journey towards transformation. Change happens from the inside out. It starts with a desire or longing for something in your life to be different. If you are single or in a relationship and looking for enhanced connection with another or greater understanding of yourself, I would be honored to work with you, beside you and support you in the process of growth, healing and discovery.

I specialize in mental health issues unique to women, with a particular focus on maternal health. I treat women struggling with infertility, anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy and postpartum as well as perinatal loss and stillbirth. All of these issues can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, lonely and isolated, sometimes even if you already have a great support system in place. I also work with adult men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating and body shape related concerns as well as individuals coping with medical diagnoses.

Looking inward isn’t easy. It takes hard work to look at the stuff that keeps getting in the way of having the life you want. Often times it’s fear, other times it’s something more concrete. No matter what barriers you’re facing, together we can work through the fears and accomplish your goals. When we’re suffering from a loss, fighting a personal battle, processing a difficult childhood, facing a scary diagnosis, or other major life transition we all need support to have someone to walk along side us, see the light when we cannot, and hold us until we’re on the other side.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years experience. I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles to feel better, have more satisfying relationships, and enjoy life fully. I work extensively with anxiety, panic, stress, phobias, grief, depression, communication, and couples problems. I have training in a variety of approaches, especially cognitive-behavioral and practical, solution-focused methods. First and foremost, I strive to provide a place where clients can count on confidentiality, respect, and being heard and understood. I have been honored to be selected a "Top Doc" Psychologist by South Jersey Magazine readers, and by S. Jersey Physicians.

Are you feeling unsure about what you want for yourself? Has your stress and anxiety become intolerable in a way that’s preventing you from enjoying the present and moving towards your desired future? Do you know what your goals are, but you can’t figure out how to reach them? Are you having trouble liking yourself and offering yourself care and compassion? Many of us hit points where we confront injuries from our past or roadblocks in the present that feel too difficult to face. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions can feel unmanageable, or they cause us to lose confidence in our ability to move forward.

I work with individuals, families and couples struggling with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorders, Asperger's, ADD, ADHD and Family and Marital Conflict. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families struggling with behavioral and academic issues.

I feel that anyone who is looking for guidance and needs someone to help them along their journey is a client that I can help. Everyone of us has struggles and I want to help my clients reach the potential that they know they have and live the life that they always wanted for themselves.

******I offer appointments on Sundays and on weeknights.****** I'm not a stereotypical licensed psychologist. I do not own a clipboard and rarely wear a tie. I am not a bobblehead and I will not ask you, “How does that make you feel?” I am professional yet down to earth and easy to connect with. My goal is to help clients develop skills to not have to see me again by fostering trust, building a therapeutic bond (using humor, at times), and developing a treatment plan with (not for) my clients. I collaborate with others (e.g., family, physicians), when appropriate, to ensure that pieces to the puzzle are not missing.

At Compassionate Counseling, we believe in you becoming the person you were meant to be. Depression, anxiety, past trauma, or life issues no longer need to hold you back from your dreams and aspirations. Our goal is to provide quality services to clients in need, and to overcome obstacles such as: •Financial Hardship •Transportation •Resistance to Therapy •Childcare Issues We are also sensitive to those who prefer a holistic approach to their care. See the photo section below for a listing of our individual counselors and their specialties.

Growing up, I experienced a mix of Western and South Asian culture and I am continually trying to bridge those cultures together. Being raised as a child of immigrants I possess a unique lens of the world. I understand the complexities and individualized realities first and second generation immigrants face. I help my clients in their identity development and empower their strengths and relationships.

Just because you carry it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy. You deserve more than just being seen. The world is a scary and ever-changing place. Dealing with uncertainty, transition, and challenges puts stress on relationships, and on personal values. Curiosity, mindfulness, and a dialectical approach makes it possible to find meaning, and even pleasure, in some of the most bleak situations, with the right support.
