Therapists in Saylorsburg, PA

After 42 years as a social worker, I feel I am uniquely qualified to deal with a variety of issues. I believe you are your best advocate and know your issues in a way that will help you to restore your life to the way you envision. My role will be to support you on this journey and provide direction and feedback to help take the steps necessary to get you where you want to be. Unresolved grief, trauma and relationship issues can block us from having the lives we want and make it difficult for us to have healthy connections. You are the best one to recognize where you want to go and how you want to get there, I will guide you

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.

Everyone struggles at times, and there should be no shame in asking for help. This is why we started Serenity Psychotherapy with a core belief that everybody should have access to professional mental health services and dedicated health care professionals anywhere in the world. With our national teletherapy sessions, we seek to help individuals, families, couples, and children with all the tools and therapy sessions they may need to live happier lives. Here at Serenity Psychotherapy, we have an array of therapists with various specializations, such as depression, anxiety, relationship, substance abuse, and parenting problems.

My counseling practice focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication within families, couples and individuals. My passion is helping clients manage life transitions, loss, anxiety, anger, depression, family conflict, addictions, and chronic illness. I approach therapy in a collaborative process, your participation plays an integral role in how therapy progresses. Together, we will establish goals and plans that we feel are attainable and will best meet your needs. I believe individuals and families are capable of making meaningful changes in their lives based on strengths they already possess. Our work together will enhance your existing resources.

I have worked with persons throughout the lifespan. Most recently, I consulted at skilled nursing homes and assisted care facilities with a focus on illness and end of life challenges.

I accept clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, stress, identity development, assertiveness, anger management, and relationship challenges for those who are heterosexual, LGBTQ, caregivers, and parents.

I am a Therapist Resource for the Dr. Phil television series. I creatively integrate positive psychology with a holistic spiritual approach to enhance healing and growth for individuals, couples and families. My holistic approach includes an in-depth evaluation to uncover and treat conditions that standard medical practice often overlooks. This includes psychological, social, physical, medical conditions, nutrition, lifestyle changes, vitamins and supplements that are researched and found to safely improve wellness.

I believe in the power of research-driven, neuroscience-based treatment because healing begins with knowing. I am a neuroscience-trained cognitive-behaviorist with a PhD in clinical psychology, and 40 years of clinical expertise in the assessment and psychotherapy for problems with PTSD, Childhood Trauma, and Addiction, for individuals and couples including veterans and active-duty military.

Thank you for visiting my page. I know it can be difficult to reach out for professional support when life is feeling out of control or one is feeling stuck.

Through a collaborative effort we will work to relieve feelings of being stuck and improve your over all wellbeing.

Do you imagine yourself living a more effective life? Does it feel that no matter how hard you try you keep getting stuck in the same patterns and routine? Are you struggling with overcoming a traumatic event or feeling sad all the time? Is anxiety or substance abuse getting in the way of your life? Have you tried to solve these problems on your own and realized you need help from someone else? The good news is that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has a tremendous track record in helping all of these concerns.

Everyone has a story and it is my privilege to be invited into yours. My unique blend of warmth and tenacity set me apart as a therapist and allow me to work with clients towards meaningful change. I value the relationships I form with clients and my goal is to make everyone I work with feel safe, respected and accepted for who they are. My practice is shaped by a combination of formal education and hands-on experience, including training in psychoanalysis, couples counseling, ExRP, play therapy and family therapy.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my background in meditation, Eastern contemplative philosophy, and evolutionary psychology. I work with clients to establish a treatment plan that is uniquely sensitive to their particular clinical needs and concerns. Some of the most common techniques I employ focus on the important relationship between body and mind; these experiential, somatic, and cognitive interventions allow for critical shifts in perspective that promote meaningful and enduring behavioral change.

We currently are offering virtual client sessions and in person sessions. I believe that every individual has the capacity to develop a full life based on healthy communication and utilizing their strengths. Having a space where you can speak honestly and openly without judgement is crucial to healing. I use a strength based, emotion focused treatment array to help you be the best you can be! I have a passion for working with clients processing trauma. My second passion is couples counseling. I base my couples work on methods from The Couples Institute, which is a worldwide model for extensive couples' therapy.

It is a privilege to witness personal growth and be present with a person as they evolve. Providing a safe, confidential, collaborative, and supportive atmosphere, to work through identified problem areas is crucial to success. Managing negative patterns of thinking and behaving allows one to flourish on an interpersonal level, emotionally, and in the context of all relationships. I have extensive knowledge and experience working with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and many other issues.
