Therapists in Morgantown, WV

I am accepting new clients and have availability now with no waitlist. Every young person should have the opportunity to reach their potential however stressors and challenges can cause barriers that prevent this. As a child and adolescent therapist, I create an open and safe environment where a young person has the freedom to explore their developing awareness of themselves and their place in the world around them. Having an accepting space where individuals feel seen and heard promotes an individual’s own capacity for self-healing, growth, and change.

We know that caring for your mental health and being vulnerable with someone you just met can seem scary, we do everything that we can to make each Ellie appointment as comfortable and as fun as possible. We aim to walk along this journey with you and provide you with a comfortable place to talk, decompress, do the work, and heal. Our goal is to meet every client where they are through authentic connection because our mission is to compassionately transform the culture of mental health care by providing creative solutions that make wellness accessible in every community.

I have experience treating a wide range of different psychological issues, but I have developed a passion for working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Phobias.

Children In Balance, a division of Women in Balance, offers high quality behavioral and mental health counseling for children, adolescents and families. We offer individual or group therapy. Our counselors have significant experience and training in working with children and their families. While approaching each person as an individual with their own positive characteristics and one-of-a-kind needs, our counselors offer effective therapeutic techniques that enhance progress. We offer a warm and inviting space where each child can safely explore their emotions and behaviors.

Emotional and behavioral challenges in childhood and adolescence affects the child and rest of the family unit as well. Caregivers often find themselves heartbroken while they watch their child struggle through issues they wish they could take away, and if the child is acting out behaviorally, it is common for caregivers to even feel hurt and confused. I offer therapy services for children ages 3 and up, as well as adults and families for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns, as well as offer support services and psychoeducation to their caregivers and other family members.

Welcome! I'm currently accepting clients and enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing barriers to living the life they want to live. The majority of my work has been with helping preteens and teens navigate that fun (and super awkward) transition between childhood and adulthood, and I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviors. I tailor my approach to your specific needs (and comfort level), but most often draw from EMDR, ACT, DBT, and TF-CBT.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA and WV, National Certified Counselor, and a Certified School Counselor for children in grades K-12. I provide teletherapy at Children In Balance for children and their families/support systems. I believe strongly that all children are worthy of love and respect and that they all have the ability to be successful and happy! I understand the importance of working with the "whole child" across all environments - including both home and school. I believe that in order for positive change to happen, we need to work together as a team to support your child in all aspects of life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor my goal is to help you become your best self. If you are in need of support with past traumatic issues I have worked for over 10 years helping people who have suffered many traumatic events. In addition, I have worked with many families to help them and their children when it comes to parenting, adjusting to separation, divorce or blending your family effectively after a divorce. I also work with adults and children who suffer from anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, mood disorders, and gender identity issues.

I provide individual, couples, or family counseling in order to help facilitate change, healing, and restoration. An ideal client is one who is struggling in life but willing to be open and honest. As your counselor I will listen to you without judgement, hear your story, and learn about the experiences that have impacted who you are. I am looking for clients who want to become the best version of themselves and will work with me to accomplish that. Counseling is similar to life in that it is not always easy and painless, but as your counselor I will be here to walk alongside you in this journey.

The core of my counseling approach is to provide an environment that is comfortable, judgment free, and prioritizes your mental health. I don’t believe in trying to “fix people”, rather support their journey alongside them. My office is a place to explore life’s ups and down, discuss coping skills that resonate with you, and a place where we can grow with each other. There is no “one size fits all” in counseling so getting to know you; your interest, your learning style, your strengths, helps me pull from therapeutic theories and techniques to best fit your needs and goals.

I firmly believe in client- centric approach, emphasizing that the therapy journey is for individuals to achieve their own objectives, not predetermined benchmarks set by me. The ideal patient approaches therapy with openness, honesty, and a willingness to communicate. For me, therapy is a collaborative venture, a shared exploration where clients are empowered to understand and reframe their presenting problems. I create a safe space, encouraging open dialogue that allows individuals to delve into their narratives, unraveling layers of emotions, and finding strength in vulnerability.

Emotional or behavioral challenges during childhood and adolescence can be very disruptive to not only the child but the whole family. I provide therapy services during evenings and weekends so that my clients don't have to miss school and to accommodate parents' busy schedules.
