My work is focused on all types of addictive behaviors, especially the use and abuse of substances. An Addiction is simply the use of something outside of ourselves to change the way we feel inside. I help individuals cope with their Addiction and Co-Occurring Disorders by using an eclectic array of theories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is extremely affective in treating addiction, but I use whatever techniques are required to help individuals overcome their addiction and face the underlying issues that are being medicated by their behaviors. I received a Masters in Community and Addictions Counseling from William & Mary.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, with a primary focus and expertise on those that are currently struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma. Other areas of expertise include family conflict, difficult life transitions, career/vocational issues, and challenges unique to men during this season.

Hi, I’m Rachel. I believe that everyone has the capacity for healing. My goal as a therapist is to help you find safety and stability within yourself and in the world around you. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental approach to support adults and college-aged adults, teens, and children in managing life and relationship stress, anxiety, depression, school issues, and trauma. My work with clients often includes exploring how present challenges are connected to our past experiences.

I teach you how to help your Self by strengthening your awareness, esteem and power skills. Using a rapid insight tool, you will be able to “see” your emotional process and become an active manager of your emotions, thoughts and choices through your self-relationship. You will learn to understand and interpret your emotional pain, which actually illuminates unmet emotional needs. I will guide you in developing enough awareness and emotional competence to make intentional and informed choices, creating emotional balance and well-being. You meet your own emotional needs with healthy supply while internalizing resilience.

"Are you in pain, at a crossroads, or facing obstacles you need help in overcoming? Are you looking for relief? I will work with you in a warm, collaborative environment, and together we will explore those areas that have kept you from being fulfilled and reaching your goals." Amy Kennel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art Therapy from Arcadia University and her Master’s Degree in Counseling from Longwood University.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience in helping people to develop skills in finding greater stability, empowerment, and resiliency in their lives. I find it important to emphasize a person's strengths, while working to understand larger patterns in clients' lives that could be impacting them negatively. Everyone possesses the capacity for growth and change whether looking for symptom reduction, healing from past experiences, increasing understanding/insight, improving relationships, gaining support during difficult times, or simply maintaining your overall wellbeing.
