Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in Pleasant Hills, PA

A patient presents with concerns regarding impulsive decision-making and wanting to change relationship patterns. She was recently diagnosed with postpartum after giving birth 30 days prior. She is currently in a relationship with the child's father and reports being unhappy with his parenting skills. She wants to go out on her own but is afraid he will separate her from the child. In therapy, she has clarified that she does not want to share with him at the child's young age.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Come join me on a journey to self-discovery. Whether it's personal relationship problems, neurological disorders, exploring personal identity or creating that set of habits to help you get back on track, I'll be there with you, every step of the way. Whether it's hard to move forward due to a personal block, dealing with a traumatic experience or a block with communication. Let's sit down and talk.

I think that therapy doesn’t have to be complicated. As a client you can expect to highlight your strengths, speak to your individual experience in a non-judgmental environment, receive unconditional support from someone you trust, and learn new ways to lessen your pain. Therapy is a wonderfully transformative venture, where two people collaborate on how to navigate the human experience. My approach is strengths-based, person-first, and multifaceted to meet your specific needs.

You may be someone who's feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating the challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder, or seeking support for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Many people come to therapists seeking someone to "fix" their problems, "relieve" their stressors or "heal" their personal pain and traumas. This is not what we do! However, you will learn to. Our purpose is to work with you to awaken the strength already residing inside of you, and to make you conscious of it, so that you may be your own cure. We are way-finders. We will walk with you on your journey within to discover your way to self-actualization, self-realization and becoming your best self.

I am an LSW clinician with experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns. Common areas of focus in my sessions include symptoms of OCD, phobias, panic disorder and other anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression, and grief.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story.

I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life. You DESERVE this and I'm here to help you on this healing journey!

I have worked with individuals and families from multiple backgrounds and age groups. I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression and life transitions.

As a counselor I have 20+ years of experience working with adults and children.

Techniques used by me are CBT, REBT, ACT, Motivational, Gestalt approach, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery. My expertise is in mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, and on anxiety disorders such as OCD, panic disorder, and phobias.

I have and continue to treat dually diagnosed substance abuse clients.
