Therapists in Lower Merion, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, bipolar disorder, OCD, ODD, PTSD, and ADHD. We'll use a whole self and client centered approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.

Hola! I'm Aurelio. I provide IFS-informed EMDR and relationship therapy in English and Spanish for adults, including those who identify as people of color, polyam/non-monog, neurodiverse, kinky, LGBQ+, and trans/gender expansive. I also support folks exploring identities, and those healing from trauma and emotional pain. My liberation and healing are bound up with yours. I see healing as an ongoing process that we do for ourselves, our community, our ancestors, and the ones who will come after us. A process where we collectively hold space for each other, tend to our wounds, laugh, and strengthen our capacity to survive and thrive.

Are you feeling like the happiness, peace of mind, and professional success which you desire is consistently out of your grasp? My typical client knows that something in their life is not working, and they are ready to seek out meaningful change. Making the first step to reach out and pursue support is often the most difficult step. The good news is that psychotherapy and professional coaching are powerful tools for creating lasting change; for those ready to make the leap.

As a psychotherapist with over twenty years experience I have had the privilege of helping clients with a broad range of emotional health issues. I have provided counseling to those struggling with depression, anxiety, and issues related to attention and impulse control. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I treat children, adolescents, and adults. Although I have experience treating a wide range of disorders, I specialize in treating persons with eating disorders. These include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. I have provided psychological services to clients with eating disorders in inpatient, partial hospital, and outpatient settings.

Your inner world is vulnerably private yet offers invaluable insight. Everyone deserves a safe space to freely explore themselves without judgement. I help my clients process past experiences, cultivate present moment awareness, and use this expertise to discover the next best steps toward a more fulfilling future. As a believer that the client is the expert on their own life, I trust each client can find the answers they need when given the space and support to discover them.

Sometimes it feels like the world just isn't made for us and no matter what we try, we can't seem to find a way around those things that prevent us from getting our needs met. I meet people where they are and attempt to take an outside perspective in helping them meet their goals as we define together. I also try to fully understand a person as it includes where they came from, decisions made through life, and influences outside of their control. I want to help you build the life you want with your own strength.

I have been a therapist for over 30 years, seeing individuals, couples, and families. My goal as a therapist is to connect with what you're going through so that I can help you understand and empower yourself more completely. Managing transitions and huge life shifts can create feelings of anxiety and loss of identity - like having the rug pulled out from under us. Despite living in unpredictable times, we can still find our strength and resilience. There is a way to feel safe while being in touch with your natural vulnerability.

In my clinical work I focus on helping clients develop a more compassionate and complete understanding of themselves. If you're experiencing anxiety or depression—particularly symptoms like intrusive thoughts, OCD, or the lingering effects of past trauma or abuse—it is possible to find relief through counseling. I'd like to help you start to make sense of things.

Congratulations on bravely stepping into therapy, perhaps even re-engaging w/ therapy after some time away, and/or asking for support in acknowledging that sometimes it is not helpful to navigate life and complications alone. Whatever your reason is, you have come to the right place if you are looking for a nonjudgmental, validating, gentle, and supportive therapist. My ideal client is someone who longs to become more aware of themselves, curious about what feelings/lack there of you may experience, open to working through active mental health struggles, such as self-confidence, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and more.

As a PSYPACT psychologist, I am able to work across state lines with only a few exceptions. While I have experience providing treatment for a wide range of mental health issues, I have a special interest in helping people improve their relationships and self-worth by reducing feelings of shame and insecurity. Helping clients cultivate self-compassion is a hallmark of my therapeutic approach. As an executive coach, I also specialize in helping leaders, attorneys, business owners, and other professionals overcome obstacles to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Are you looking for someone with whom you can have an open, honest, direct, and thoughtful conversation about whatever matters most to you? Someone who will listen carefully and attentively to you? Someone who will engage you in warm, candid, and supportive dialogue in ways that encourage you and help you to grow as a person? Someone who will help you to repair whatever has been ruptured in your life? If so, we would likely work well together! At the most basic level, therapy is an opportunity to make an intentional connection with each other in order to bring about greater awareness and understanding, and, ultimately, healing.

Each individual has within them the ability to heal. In our work together the goal will be to help you identify and navigate barriers that keep you from having the life you deserve to enjoy. The idea that we are wounded in relationship and so healing must also occur in relationship is at the root of the therapeutic process and the work we will do together. My style is open, authentic and warm. Together, we will discover what is present for you in the here-and-now, explore the underlying issues & repeating themes, and tap into your innate healing power so you can live a more full and satisfying life.

I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to talk about difficult experiences without fear of judgment. I specialize in relationships and relational work. I help couples heal from unresolved issues, learn new ways to communicate and understand each other, and deepen their intimacy. I teach couples how to have hard conversations that end in deeper connection, instead of painful fights that result in deeper wounds. I also help single people navigate the dating world, date from a place of confidence and self-worth, & create a healthy, lasting relationship.

We move through institutions of power our entire lives. First, family, then we form friends at school, fall in love in college, maybe grow close to others in religious communities. Along the way, we encounter experiences that enable us to become more of our authentic selves. Sometimes, these experiences are less than ideal, other times, these experiences are more traumatizing than we originally thought. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, are a few things that manifest and these are the PTSD-related symptoms that I specialize in.
