Compassion Focused Therapists in Blue Bell, PA

Hi, I am Lindsey (she/her) and I am a Masters Level Therapist dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all people on their journey. My goal is to meet my clients where they are at, helping to create a collaborative relationship that empowers my clients in their healing! Therapy can be a vulnerable place, and it is important you find a therapist that you "click" with and feel you can open up to. Please Note: I am ONLY doing REMOTE sessions at this time.

You feel alone even when you're around others. Things that used to bring you joy are not on your schedule anymore. Your thoughts of work, school, relationships, and even food are overwhelming. You want to find answers but don't know where to begin. That is until now. You have taken the difficult step just to get here. This tells us both that things can get better, and they will get better. I want to collaborate with you, support you, and dedicate myself to helping you find those answers. Let's take this courageous journey together and find the way to feeling fulfilled, happy, and enjoying life.

Evidence-Based Therapy with a Love-Based Approach. As a clinical psychologist devoted to practicing therapy, I value the individual strengths, perspectives and histories of each person. I believe that healing and growth occur within the context of a supportive and accepting relationship. Thus, I am highly attentive to our therapeutic relationship and more importantly, to the relationships that already exist in your life. Our work is tailored to your specific needs, strengths and values. My approach to therapy is relational, systemic, trauma-informed and love-based.

Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) with a Trauma-Informed Approach at Kindle Hill Foundation. As a trauma-informed therapist, I am focused on helping teens and adults to navigate their unique challenges, both individually and within the dynamics of couples and families, through the healing power of horses. Horses possess an intuitive connection to human emotions and an innate ability to mirror and respond to our innermost feelings. This forms the foundation of EAT—an innovative approach that harmonizes the healing power of horses with evidenced-based therapeutic practices.

Seeking therapy takes immense strength and courage. It can feel vulnerable to trust another human with your struggles, fear, and pain. From the beginning, I will do my best to listen deeply and carefully, respecting that you have been doing the best you can with what you’ve been handed in life. I believe that our symptoms often provide information about how we have had to adapt to our circumstances. I therefore strive to honor how you have had to cope while working towards alleviating your distress and deepening your connection with yourself and others.

My inclusive work focuses on: Helping people to feel regulated and empowered, and to feel seen, safe, and valued for who they are in our process together; those struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety; chronic pain, grief and loss, phobias, racing thoughts, crossroads and upheaval; as well as Body Image, with a specific focus on Body Neutrality and Health At Every Size (HAES) – all with mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance.

Hi, I’m Jessica and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a passion for helping individuals identify and shift patterns that no longer serve them, heal from toxic relationships, and explore their true identity.

Are some of these relationships one-sided and go against your personal boundaries? If so, I’d love to help you on your healing journey.

Couples come to therapy often feeling frustrated, defensive, hurt and angry. Love, attraction and shared life goals may have brought them together, but along the way to deeper emotional intimacy couples meet roadblocks. Growing self-awareness and curiosity about their partner helps them appreciate their differences as enriching rather than threatening. Partners realize that each of them has a role in cultivating the quality of their relationship. Partners learn to support each other's growth and expand their horizons together. Their relationship feels more alive and hopeful. Therapy nurtures the art of relationships for all of us.
