Therapists in Macungie, PA

Current immediate availability! I am a solution focused, inclusive and nonjudgmental therapist. My goal is to help you feel better by focusing on you as an individual and your own specific needs. Collaborating with my clients helps to identify problems, build skills and focus on your personal goals of care. I focus on self care and self compassion and am here to support and guide you to the best version of yourself. I have a passion for working with family building (infertility, pregnancy and parenting), chronic illness, and young adults.

Hello! I am here to help you heal and grow. I utilize psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy and work with you to create a clear treatment plan to help you determine your goals. I provide telehealth counseling services to children, teens, adults and families. I specialize working with Neurodiverse individuals as well as a variety of other challenges including anxiety, depression and trauma throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have experience and passion working with the LGBTQ communities.

Our stories often include twists and turns that keep us from moving forward. That may be due to turbulent relationships, use of substances or a loved one struggling with substance use, bouts of depression or anxiety that impacts quality of life, a loved one passing away or our own thinking patterns that influence our behaviors. My role in working with you is assisting you with moving forward, finding solutions or courses of action, and building your toolbox so that you can cope more productively.

As a compassionate and empathic licensed professional counselor, I am dedicated to helping individuals conquer anxiety and regain control over their lives. I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders. My goal is to provide a supportive and judgment-free space where clients can find relief from the burden of anxiety and OCD. My therapeutic approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which have been proven effective in managing and reducing the symptoms of OCD and related anxiety disorders.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery.

I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.

This loss knocked the wind out of you. You tell the world “I’m fine” but there is a part of you that knows you’re not. Intense sorrow invades everything you do. The stress to get through, to be strong, to not let others down, is immense—you're exhausted. Just last week you felt some relief for a brief moment, a flash of hope. Just as quickly it dissolved and you’re preoccupied with searing bleakness—again. It’s not too much to want a break from this unwanted & relentless heartache, and find a place of emotional rest. It’s not too much to really know that this will end & that there is a way in and through. Trust that you can do this.

Hi! I’m Rachel, a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping adolescents and early adults on their journeys towards well-being and personal growth. The worlds of adolescence and early adulthood can feel exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and empowering all at the same time. During these complicated and transformative years, it can be helpful to have some extra support and guidance. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies for overcoming challenges related to anxiety, depression, intense emotions, relational issues, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, self-esteem, and life transitions.

I work with adults who are seeking support in managing their emotions, increasing satisfaction in relationships, or find themselves navigating life transitions and the fear and stress that may come along. I specialize in working with young adults who may be struggling with mood, anxiety, peer or romantic relationships, and sexuality and gender identity. I hope to help you become more connected to your emotions, gain confidence, and find healthy ways of coping with conflict.

The client might also want to improve their self-esteem through therapeutic work. Working with a strengths-based, trauma-informed, person-centered eclectic approach can help clients feel supported, develop coping skills, and improve self-esteem.

I believe you will experience me as genuine, curious, and direct. Together, we will challenge old assumptions and create new ways of approaching problems, relationships, and life in general. The work we do in therapy is serious and it is hard; that said, it's tremendously rewarding, and in our work, we will likely find ourselves laughing a lot. Here, you will experience acceptance and connection that I believe will make the relationships in your life easier to navigate and more rewarding.

Therapy is the fight for autonomy over our decisions and our strengths-based connections in the aftermath. The universal social work tradition is to build practice based on reciprocity, continuity of care, consent, and affirmation. Therapists build supportive networks through community-based knowledge, interrelationships and love. We labor for access to self determination over our own identities and communities at large. We take a holistic view of the self through a social context, and work to create open and dynamic spaces and roles for ourselves and each other. This must include confronting stigma, isolation and disconnection.

I am here for you. When times are tough, it’s important to have the right support to nurture hope, focus on strength, and harness the power of uncertainty. You can stop surviving and start living again. Together we can explore the darkness & the light, and find your way thru it. We will tailor an approach to support your intentions, needs, and goals. You will become more aware of your core beliefs and better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You’ll find our work to discover insight, self-acceptance, and freedom challenging but also profoundly supportive.
