Career Counseling Therapists in Shrewsbury, PA

I approach coaching, counseling, and psychotherapy as processes of self-discovery that are intended to lead to deep insight, focused clarity, and significant personal transformation. In order to facilitate these dynamics, I integratively employ only the most POTENT, PROVEN, and PRUDENT theories and interventions that are contained within the established schools of applied psychology (i.e., Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Existential, Social, etc.).

Dr. Pedicino offers counseling and psychotherapeutic services to individuals and couples in NJ and PA, looking for a creative way to attain happiness, contentment, serenity, productivity, and unconditional love in every aspect of life, relationships and/or one's career.

Do you find yourself talking about the same things each week in therapy, feeling like you’re getting nowhere? You’ve accomplished a lot in life but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. You’re someone who wants to go deep and evolve but still find yourself facing the same problems over and over. A big life change—maybe a breakup or new job—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You’re ready to make a change, know yourself on a deeper level, and live a more meaningful life.

Sometimes, life events don’t turn out the way we expect. Our hopes and dreams come crashing down right before our eyes. The sense of loss and despair we feel as a result can be overwhelming.

You no longer need to be trapped by your racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and heartache of what could have been.

When I began my career with a focus on chronic and life-threatening illness, I hardly expected to develop such breadth and depth of experience with seemingly unrelated issues. Of course, I’ve worked with my fair share of clients on things like role/identity changes, life purpose, caregiver issues, and more. However, it became clear to me early on that issues preceding illness tend to play an equal – if not greater – role in how well folks are able to cope and function after receiving a diagnosis.

Relationships, new life stages, career changes, can be challenging. I specialize in helping individuals transition into their new life status with confidence and perspective. We all look to increase our happiness and joy, reduce our stress , frustrations and and suffering, improve our relationships and accomplish our goals.

My aim is to help people move through the process of change, while helping you process and cope with your current life challenges.

Stress can be psychologically toxic, even for helpers. Loss, trauma, injury/Illness anger, shame & fatigue can lead to anxiety and depression as well as relationship and behavior problems. Therapeutic relationships improve health by assisting with psychological detoxification and with the establishment of healthy emotional, interpersonal/social, mental, and physical habits to help inoculate against these "toxins." Sometimes natural healthy defenses against toxic stress break down and fail to protect us against painful or maladaptive feelings, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Because you will be putting a good deal of time, money, and energy into therapy, you should choose a therapist carefully.

I have more than 20 years helping people work through grief and loss, life transitions, relationship struggles, career indecision, anxiety and depression.

I am trained in object relations theory, but my experience as a high school counselor, family therapist and lawyer informs my flexible and practical approach. While offering a deep therapy experience that leads to enduring change and growth, I am mindful that patients need strategies to manage immediate concerns and feel relief during the change process. I approach patients with a belief that their early experiences and attachments have shaped the way they see themselves, how they approach relationships and what they expect from life. I seek to help patients develop new ways of relating that lead to healthier connections to others and increased autonomy.
