Life is sometimes difficult and it is hard to gain perspective. Also, family and interpersonal relationships can be so complex and challenging. Are you or your child/family struggling? Would you benefit from compassionate professional support? What would it feel like for you to live the life you've dreamed of, to have the relationships you've hoped for and to feel loved and supported each day? Are you ready for this life-changing journey? Let me help you unpack your concerns, repair your relationship with yourself and others, remind you that you are enough and that you can be happy and whole.

With 25 years of experience as a psychologist, I have found that the majority of clients would like to resolve their distressing problems as quickly as they can. I utilize short-term treatment approaches, because they have generally been demonstrated to be as effective as long-term treatment. The approaches I use include cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems treatments.

Do you find yourself making a list of people you care about, only to find your name not on it? Maybe in the course of caring for others and being their "shoulder to cry on", you take their problems to heart, to try and lighten their load. A focus on their problems ensue, but before you know it, you're always tense, not giving your all at work or at home. You just want to go back to your "normal life", but find it difficult, almost impossible to do so.

At Spring Forward Psychotherapy, LLC, my mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to adults and teenagers (14 and older) struggling with mental health issues or who need help processing daily life and routine stressors. I compound the benefits of movement, nature and thought processing by providing therapy as "walk and talks" in local parks (or via teletherapy). Therapy is a safe and confidential space to lay out your first draft of ideas without judgment to allow you to process and refine and edit thoughts before sharing with loved ones and your support network.

I understand what it’s like to want to appear like you have it all together, but deep down you are struggling with learning to cope with things that have happened in your life. Even the thought of going to therapy seems embarrassing, but you know for certain that life has to get better than it currently is. As much as you strive to be the best, there are times where you lack confidence and motivation to live life to the fullest, and you know that there is more for you ready to be revealed. You are ready to unpack the baggage that has been weighing you down, so that you can start to create new patterns in your life & relationships.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a wide variety of settings for over 25 years. During this time, I have developed a number of particular specialties, including adolescents and families, boys and men, and addiction treatment. Typically, I offer a 3-session initial evaluation, at the end of which I make treatment recommendations. If the recommendation is to continue treatment in my practice, I can work in a variety of modes - individual, couples and family - and emphasize strategies that mobilize relationships and problem solving.

Do you suffer from physical or emotional pain? Have you been told, "Learn to live with it"? I have shown thousands of clients how to live without it. Experienced in psychotherapy, NLP and hypnotherapy, I mainly use "energy psychology" techniques that balance body energy and eliminate emotional and even physical pain. I am very skilled with phobias (often resolved in one session), stress and anxiety, traumatic memories and PTSD. Grief and mild/moderate depression are gently resolved. And many of my chronic pain patients (back pain, fibromyalgia, etc.) have reduced or eliminated their pain medications.

I pride myself in providing a safe space where you, as a client, can retreat, and discover healing through conversation, art, music, skill building, and other activities. I will work with you to decide what you would like to accomplish in therapy, and how. In my practice, I have supported a diverse client base, allowing me to focus on the challenges of mental health in the context of culture, the immigrant experience, living in the margins, identifying as LGBTQ+, and other identity related challenges.

Licensed in both PA and DE, my approach is integrative, intersectional, developmental, and contextual with a belief in the value of connection and the power of possibility. I understand that we are heavily shaped by our relationships, family experiences, and positionality in the world with regard to race, culture, class, gender identity, sexuality, etc. My practice is relationship and sexual intimacy focused, and I've deepened my lens to include training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, in addition to past experience with PACT, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method, and IMAGO.

I am committed to helping my clients become the best version of themselves. I work to create a space in which my clients feel at ease exploring life’s challenges and finding effective ways of addressing them. I support my clients in recognizing and building upon their strengths in order to foster resilience, growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with individuals and families about personal life challenges they are facing. Besides addressing concerns that the pandemic brought with it, there are the usual issues regarding relationships, work, school, health, loss and grief. My approach is to work collaboratively with a client, focusing on strengths and the person’s natural inclination to move toward health and balance. Therapy is an opportunity to address and support change and growth.

Brenda Farside LCSW is a mental health clinician with more than 20 years experience. She works primarily with adults experiencing mental, physical and spiritual challenges and transitions, those who are in recovery, and those who are seeking self change. She has extensive training and experience with life transitions, depression & anxiety, loss & grief, trauma, and family issues. Brenda combines evidence-based counseling modalities (CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness) with energy modalities (reiki, meditation and breath work) to enhance and support the physiological shift necessary for a sustained alignment with mind, body, and spirit.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. My primary areas of clinical experience are depression, anxiety, life transitions, womens' issues, and couples therapy. Each client is a unique individual who comes to therapy with a particular concern or problem which they wish to explore and amend. Therapy can give a client the needed support to translate feelings, thoughts, insights, and yearnings into coherent sense and meaning. Therapy is a process, not an event. As such, clients can progress and change at a pace and level of challenge that is comfortable, safe, and ongoing.
