Buddhist Therapists in Montgomery, PA

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.

For over 40 years I have sought to understand truth and wisdom. I've come to recognize the nature of suffering and each persons desire for release from suffering. I know that healing is a gentle unfolding, created with correct individual guidance, support and care. This assists each person's understanding of their personnel truth and authenticity, which leads a deeper inner awareness of true self, inner wisdom and to peaceful liberation.

Over my 30 years of experience, I have seen that when clients reach out for therapy, it is a sign of strength and a willingness to change. I view counseling as a partnership between the client and myself, and help each client learn a new skill set that enables them to grow through life's challenges. I provide a non-judgmental and calming environment, with a focus on mindfulness. A holistic approach is used, which recognizes the importance of addressing body, mind, emotions, and spirit in order to achieve and maintain health. I am a safe, neutral sounding board for clients, which allows them to learn, grow, and heal.

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.

Many of us find ourselves without a space to process our lives, relationships, as well as the weight of a world and systems that are unjust and unsafe.

Let's explore opportunities to build meaning and connection, navigate experiences of stress and complex emotions, and overcome personal and environmental barriers.

Your pain deserves space to breathe and be heard. Your authentic self deserves tending to. Being human is hard work. In the limited time we exist, we have countless choices to make as we shape the direction and purpose of our lives. In our struggles, perhaps we may feel phony, unsure of ourself, pressured to hide or distort our feelings and thoughts. We may feel paralyzed when trying to make the “right” decisions. We may feel deeply isolated, unable to sustain relationships where we are cherished exactly as we are. We may be haunted by past traumas and unable to forgive. Or we may wonder about our life's meaning.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has experience treating depression, anxiety and trauma. I work with children, teens and adults.

We all have a story to tell. We are made of thousands of them– from the haiku to the novel. Whether you feel like you’re spinning in circles or out of ideas, therapy can offer a fresh perspective through a clear lens. It can help wipe the fog off your glasses with the help of an objective outlook. You may feel like you are seeing Signs. Or hearing Sirens. Maybe from a direct Trauma. Or things are manifesting subtly throughout the fabric of your relationships. Whatever it is, you don't need to manage Your Story alone. You are worth it.

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.

You are a deeply introspective human who seems to have it all together, AND you’re struggling to cope with stress, overwhelm, worry, or burnout. I see you . . . Are you ready to: get out of your head and drop down into your body, learn skills to increase calm and find your center, recognize and use your natural strengths, change negative thoughts and limiting patterns, realign and empower yourself?

Have you lost heart? Are you feeling anxious, angry, guilty, embarrassed, or invisible? Are you haunted by a loss or trauma you thought you'd gotten past? Are you discouraged by your own or others' ideas about who, how, and where you ought to be at this time in your life? Are you hiding habits, shying away from help for fear of judgment? Do you feel uneasy in social situations? Do the news headlines leave you hopeless? Do you feel stuck and crave more meaning in work and relationships? Are you smiling for all and screaming inside? How you truly feel matters very much. Suffering is wisdom waiting; being with it changes everything.

Welcome to the next step of your journey! One of the most challenging decisions is to seek help and take action to heal ourselves. Taking action, looking deeply and deliberately at ourselves isn't an easy task. Without doing so, nothing changes. Dayna truly believes that every individual deserves to find lasting happiness that comes from within. No one can do this for another. Instead, it is a commitment to oneself. Whether the goal is personal growth, repairing relationships, or overcoming addiction, each person is capable of making the changes necessary to actualize their fullest potential.

My work as a clinician is grounded in establishing a safe, supportive, and nurturing co-created environment. We all struggle at times and sometimes having help is necessary to find calm, balance, or growth. Each client brings their own unique strengths and challenges. Together we develop a plan to help you move toward your goals. My counseling is informed by my work with students with special needs, families in transition, my training in yoga and mindfulness, and my work with men and women who experienced domestic violence. I use a trauma informed, person-centered approach in which clients feel safe, heard, and valued.

We all have times in our life when we face struggle, frustration, anguish, and tragedy. These times, while painful and seemingly bleak, can also offer opportunities for profound growth. These times can be used to look within, gain more self-understanding, nurture our resilience, strengthen our confidence, and make choices to better align ourselves with the life we seek to live. By engaging in therapy, you can process your thoughts and emotions; obtain insight and guidance; and define the life you choose to live. With time and effort, you can grow into your unique and beautiful self.

Are you struggling with the crush of anxiety and overwhelm? Feeling stuck or directionless? Navigating the tides of loss or a big life change? Craving more peace and ease? I get it. In these challenging times it’s easy to become disconnected from our authentic selves—from purpose, from contentment & joy. Instead, anxiety and stress become constant companions, overpowering everything else. I’m here to support you, and to help you find your way back home to yourself. Together we can explore the big questions of purpose and connection along with practical strategies for current challenges & finding more ease and contentment every day.
