Therapists in Neffs, PA

It is my belief that we all deserve the opportunity to create a space to identify and share who we are and how we feel. Through a relational approach, my aim is to meet people where they are and work towards greater clarity and freedom from the pain and fear we have experienced. I believe in the power of relationship, especially the one we have with ourselves, to help us heal, grow, and discover how to be intentional about the kind of life we want to live. I approach the work with compassion and an open heart, inviting all parts of ourselves to be known and understood.

Counseling is a space where you can explore, process, heal and grow. By being vulnerable we can allow ourselves the space to reflect on who we are now and where we have come from. I believe that we deserve a space where we can feel safe, comfortable and free from judgement. In this space, we can take out some of the boxes that are stored away and discover how we can let go of what no longer serves us while creating new ways of being and relating to ourselves, others, and the world around us .

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

Greetings! In this practice, I provide a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space dedicated to offering support. I believe in a client-led approach, empowering you to find your voice. Progress is celebrated in the small steps that accumulate into significant strides throughout the treatment journey. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy to everyone, specializing in providing support to the minority population and thriving in working with intercultural couples and families.

I am pro-you in whatever way you show up–your gender identity, sexual orientation, justice system involvement, relationship style, body size and physical ability, race and ethnicity, and unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world are welcome and celebrated here! I am affirming of neurodiversity and dissociative identities, and I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your experiences. I love working with the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent folks, dissociative systems, and people who have experienced trauma.

Are you looking for a safe place to talk about sexuality and relationship concerns? My approach blends holistic practices like yoga and herbalism with a solid academic background, emphasizing balance and wellness. I use a strength-based integrative approach, helping clients tap into their unique coping skills and strengths, blending Western and Eastern methods for holistic treatment. Specializing in trauma, LGBTQIA issues, alternative sexual lifestyles, and midlife sexuality, my expertise extends to Integrative & Nutritional Approaches to Mental Health. Currently pursuing National Certification in Sex Therapy through AASECT.

Our practice strives to help individuals, couples and families find improved emotional and physical health, along with enhanced pleasure, meaning, and purpose in life. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed and want to feel better? Have you experienced trauma or abuse and want to find healing and peace? Are you dissatisfied in relationships, whether with friends, family or coworkers? Are you feeling bored or trapped in your job or career and looking for more fulfillment? Are you dealing with an illness and wanting support? Are you re-evaluating where you are in life and where you want to go? We can help!

We all deserve to be heard, connected with, and loved authentically--there are so many of us who feel like we aren't seen for who we are, whether its because we feel held back by past struggles or we're still trying to learn who we want to be. I want to hear your story and help you finally feel seen. I'm here to create a safe space so you can bring what you need to our session. Therapy is a place to laugh, cry, explore, and overcome. We can do that together through empathy and person-centered work, where I meet you where you are and help you find the growth and change you're looking for.

My specialty lies in working with those who have experienced traumas, both large and small. Many times people see trauma as large life changing events and put aside the smaller things that can leave a mark. I try and explore both of these experiences with my clients, along with their relationships with others and themselves. This can cover a range of topics including, but not limited to, self-esteem, anxiety, boundaries, and self care. My goal is to create a space where clients can explore their emotions on their own timeline not mine or anyone else's.

I serve individuals in the Lehigh valley and surrounding areas seeking confidential and discreet support in working through issues and stressors affecting their everyday lives.

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.

My name is Vanessa, and I am the owner of Rooted in Care Counseling. I am passionate about supporting people through their unique experiences with mental health, and specialize in working with Black and other People of Color. I have always strived to be aware of how outside systemic issues and factors contribute to disparities in mental health care, particularly in communities of color. As a Black therapist, I believe that comprehensive mental health treatment acknowledges and accounts for how discrimination and other social barriers can affect one’s ability to process their experiences and safely navigate the world.

My ideal client would be ready for a challenge. Someone who wants their worldview expanded, prepared to find internal and external connection with the world. My ideal client would be someone who also wants their race, sexuality, or gender affirmed by their clinician.

Allow me the joy of assisting you become more of your authentic self! Lindsay loves to empower people's differences, from Neurodiversity (adult+child ADHD, ADD, Autism Spectrum) to various sensitivities of the nervous system (HSPs, sensory sensitives, trauma/PTSD and related disorders, grief) through the EMDR technique, talk and hypnosis. The most key elements of Lindsays unique approach are: finding and practicing balance in your life (yin and yang), self compassion, compassion for human nature to understand those near us, the gray areas of our lives as humans in the world (versus "Good and evil"), forgiveness and boundaries.

I see myself as a mirror of my clients' potential. I look for positive qualities in each person, and encourage them to draw on these strengths. I help my clients achieve increased self-understanding, and work toward personal goals. I am a compassionate listener, and an active participant in the counseling process.

Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile. Feel free to send a message if you'd like to schedule a free 30 minute consult. Finding a good fit is so important in choosing a therapist. The relationship is critical. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in women, girls, and queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender and nonbinary folks. I practice decolonizing and liberation focused therapy. My areas of focus include sexuality and trauma. I consider myself a client centered, relational, and culturally sensitive psychotherapist. I am board certified in teletherapy. I am licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

I recognize the strength and courage it takes to seek support, and I believe this is a sign of your resilience. My aim is to create a collaborative relationship with you that is supportive, compassionate, validating, and connected. One of my highest values as a therapist is to meet you where you are, and to work with you toward increasing emotional safety. I value a gentle, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach, and we will move at your pace. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people, codependency, childhood emotional neglect, trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, and challenging family relationships.

As a queer woman, I value affirming and culturally sensitive practices with all clients. I enjoy helping folks navigate identity development (gender, sexuality, expression, culture, transitions, etc.), relationships, oppression, and trauma. I also work with neurodivergent folks and those that struggle with emotional communication.

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.
