Therapists in Montgomery County, PA

Hello, the work that I do with individuals, couples and families is based in a mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy approach. I work with clients to integrate mindfulness skills and cognitive behavior strategies into their daily lives. These strategies help to access a more centered and deliberate way of being. The skills and strategies used are tailored for each individual based on concerns, goals and interests. This approach is great for those who experience anxiety, high levels of stress, trauma, depression, or have anger related concerns.

I work for The Center For Growth, treating everything from mental health to sex and relationship issues. I can help you manage thing like anxiety and depression as we explore and understand complex emotions in a safe space and find healthy and effective ways to express and release those feelings. We can immerse ourselves in exploration of your past as we make connections and gain understanding of how old patterns show up for you today. Or we can focus on the here and now, identifying what behaviors and thoughts are no longer serving you so you can create new goals that support your growth, in whatever way feels right to you.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery. This work is about finding your own inner balance and resolution and feeling free to express your authenticity. I work with mood disorders, anxiety, sleep, stress, family and relationship conflicts, compulsions and addictions. I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.

We tend to think of change and acceptance as opposing truths, as if accepting our situation means doing nothing about it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that seeks to transcend this all-or-nothing way of thinking. It teaches us to radically accept our situation as it is, while still working to improve the things within our control. Instead of seeing change and acceptance as opposing truths, DBT allows us to see them as truths that reinforce each other. In other words: embracing acceptance can lead to change, and embracing change can lead to acceptance.

Anxiety, depression, and the other experiences that bring us to therapy are some of life's greatest challenges, but in therapy they become valuable opportunities for growth. Through therapy our struggles become an opening to deeper self-understanding, to new ways of living, and even to new beginnings. Our suffering asks us to seek help and to find a place where we may learn to better help ourselves. In the supportive context of therapy we begin to see our symptoms and difficulties in a new way- as the first difficult steps on a journey of learning and growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has experience treating depression, anxiety and trauma. I work with children, teens and adults. I hope to foster an environment where you can feel safe and open to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and work on learning new and healthier ways to express and cope with your emotions and stressors. At this time I am not accepting new clients who require appointments after 4pm, and can only accept new clients who have day time availability. If you have an allergy or fear of dogs, please let me know as I often have a therapy dog in my office.

Hi. I'm Bill. I only provide online sessions. They're convenient and effective for both client and therapist. No treading winter snow and ice, summer downpours, or traffic. Now, are you experiencing anxiety, depressed mood, identity and self-esteem difficulties, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, life transition difficulties, or traumatic memories? Entering into the counseling experience, can sometimes be a difficult step for various reasons. Yet, that first step can frequently begin movement toward a healthier life. The trust relationship between client and therapist plays a very significant role within that process.

True, enduring healing is transformative. It restores self-confidence and wholeness diminished by life stressors such as challenging relationships, loss, systemic oppression, abuse, and trauma, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and ineffective coping patterns. I am deeply dedicated to creating the compassionate, understanding and trusting space essential for you to heal, thrive, and (re)learn to trust your own wisdom. Together we can discover your most grounded, authentic and healthy self, enhance insight, and align your life with your goals, values, and dreams. You deserve exceptional care, patience, understanding, and peace.

Many of my clients have come to me after being diagnosed fully believing that their lives were over. Mental health issues do not define who you are as a person. They are just a small part of why we react in particular situations, in specific ways. I have a passion to help my clients and their families to discover not only how to overcome their mental health issues, but to thrive despite their mental health issues.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed with daily life demands? You feel so down and find it difficult to do anything and everything. You feel exhausted with anxious and negative thoughts, which prevent you from doing things you want to do. Relationships (intimate, friend or professional) are challenging and stressful. I can help. My passion is helping you reach your full potential and find peace and contentment in your life. My goal is to provide you with the compassionate and attentive care we all deserve from healthcare professionals.

Many of us experience recurring feelings of loss, being lost, not belonging, unshakable sadness, anxiety about future outcomes. We may have experienced trauma, tragedy, abuse as a child or as an adult, toxic relationships or substance abuse etc. If you are reading this you have survived it and I salute your resilience. However sometimes we struggle to feel healthy and wholesome again. The good news is that no feeling is FINAL. Feelings come and go like the weather based on the thoughts that spin around in our heads. The most efficient way to handle such uncomfortable feelings is to learn how to understand and manage our thoughts.

My therapy approach is straightforward, practical, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I work with the adult population and generally use an eclectic approach that combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based principles (MBSR), Buddhist psychology, and Strength-based interventions. The approach involves helping you to liberate yourself from psychological suffering by increasing your self-awareness, identifying and addressing cognitive factors that promote suffering, and developing and consistently practicing skills to improve your overall well-being. The goal involves living a healthier and happier life.
