Hi! I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculata University and am an Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I take a Person-Centered approach in therapy, working collaboratively with clients to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have experience in many challenging settings with a variety of age groups and cultures. I have provided individual and family counseling in outpatient clinics as well as school-based counseling for students k-12. I have worked in depth with children, adolescents, young adults as well as adults. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, ADHD, OCD, ODD, and ASD.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I consider it to be an honor and a privilege to be a part of each individual’s healing and journey through therapy. I believe in the importance of creating a strong therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I strive to create such a relationship by treating each client with unconditional positive regard and empathy. Seeking and asking for help can be difficult especially if you have ever felt invalidated or unheard. I aim to support my clients in expressing their needs and becoming their authentic self and creating a meaningful, purposeful life.

Challenges are an inevitable part of life. When you feel lost, unhappy, or experience a significant change in your life, you may seek counseling. Counseling can help you gain a better understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and actions. By doing so, you can respond more effectively to life’s challenges, modify your engagement with distressing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, enhance your self-esteem, establish better connections with others, improve productivity at work, and achieve a more purposeful and gratifying life.

We are passionate about working with adults who struggle with the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges related to the diagnoses of ASD, ADD/ADHD, learning differences, parenting stressors and strategies, coping skills, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelming stress, and grief/loss, trauma and PTSD.

Feelings of chronic sadness, anxiety, and worry, can lead to difficulty getting the most out of your life. Having successfully helped adults and families for over twenty five years in practice and training in NYC, I now specialize in anxiety, panic disorders, depression, marital and family conflicts, and adjustments to loss, grief and trauma. I'm a seasoned clinician, both a nurse and clinical social worker, with expertise and clinical training in mental health and health care. We will work together to understand patterns, to gain mastery, self-awareness, and increased sense of direction.

“You’ve always had the power, you just had to learn it for yourself.” These famous words echo a universal truth; no matter what your life experience, personal power lies at the heart of who you are. As a holistic, strength-based therapist, I understand how all aspects of self - mind, body and essence - work together to access inner wisdom and inspire the best version of you. I work with adolescents, adults and families in the treatment of depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, grief and relational problems to help identify and dismantle disruptive thought and behavior patterns that get the way of living your best life.

Life can be complicated. We all need someone in the trenches with us who can truly understand and assist. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults, young to mature, navigate through a variety of problems - relationship difficulties, anxiety and stress, depression, and spiritual struggles to name a few. I believe in collaborative therapy, where we put our heads together to assess the issues and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy can help resolve the symptoms that affect daily life. When desired, Insight Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy can get to the root of the problem.

I’m a straight ally working with adolescents, young adults, and adults around depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and pandemic-related issues. Even after more than 30 years, I remain deeply passionate about my work and continually humbled by my clients' resilience and innate strength.

I encourage everyone to screen several therapists and choose the one with whom they feel most heard, respected, and safe. Please don’t settle for anything less.

As a therapist for 25+ years, I believe it is important to recognize a person's strengths to help them deal with emotional difficulties when they occur. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families and the elderly to enhance their coping skills, so they have a variety of options to deal with their life stresses.

The primary focus of my work is with adults, adolescents, and their families as they work to navigate difficult stages in their lives. Much of my professional work is with adolescents and their families. In my work with teens, I employ a mix of humor, authenticity, and curiosity about their struggles. From a stance of openness and compassion, I work to help teens explore their individual difficulties, confront potentially self sabotaging patterns, and develop coping strategies that are unique to their needs. I have helped many teens move beyond their pain and find healthier, freer, more fulfilling lives.

Hello! My name is Kylie and I am a PA Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I'm passionate about helping adolescents and adults learn how to regulate emotions, incorporate daily mindfulness, and challenge thoughts that keep them stuck. I also teach how to decrease the connection between feeling and doing, and how to maintain healthy relationships . The majority or my practice focuses on self-harm behavior, suicidal ideation, intense emotions, and impulsive behaviors. My approach is to utilize DBT throughout treatment while also incorporating CBT and trauma-focused care.

Everyone possesses innate abilities and strengths that shape personal growth. Taking the first step to heal is courageous - striving for balance through self-discovery is the ultimate act of self-compassion. The heart of my practice is centered on how our experiences shape our brain, body and stress responses – how these emotional templates impact how we learn to cope with difficult emotions and their effect on our capacity to connect and realize our potential. I am passionate about helping adults, couples and adolescents develop skills that empower them to overcome obstacles, navigate life transitions and live a fulfilling life.
