Therapists in Northampton County, PA

I believe in the power of connection. Psychologist and researcher Brene Brown says, “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick”. Through the course of counseling, we will work together to identify, repair, and restore the areas of ‘disconnect’ in your life, so that you may once again reap the mental and physical benefits of this fundamental human need.

The transition into parenthood can be exhausting! The amount of responsibility of caring for a new baby can feel overwhelming, isolating and even scary. You are not alone and with help you can heal. I’ll give you the tools and resources you need to begin healing and start living again! While I do work with couples and individuals, my true passion lies in working with parents! It is my great honor to join you while you begin a new chapter, start gaining hope and much deserved relief!

Life can be challenging but it doesn’t have to be exhausting. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to help individuals process struggles / concerns and help get a better perspective on life. Having a safe place that provides unconditional, positive regard can help an individual to grow and express their best self. I believe in treating the whole person; not just focusing on detriments but also strengths and acceptance of both. My holistic approach includes a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Cultural Sensitivity. I have experience working with individuals with ADHD and learning disabilities and an undergrad degree in Special Education. Furthermore, I have significant practice working with individuals with clinical anxiety and depression, mood disorders, personality disorders and psychosis

Feeling lost, anxious, discouraged, or just looking for a change? You have found the right place. I strive to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel that they can be and explore their true selves. As a client, you should expect to have a collaborative relationship where you can find support and encouragement and experience individual growth. As humans, we are all similar and different in many ways, and I believe anyone can achieve mental wellness if given the right tools and provided a space where they feel heard.

I have experience with various clients from diverse backgrounds across a multitude of different settings. I have experience within child welfare, hospital, community mental health, and school settings. I primarily work with children/adolescents, adults, and families. I have a client-centered, solution focused approach to my practice. I assist clients to make positive life changes in order to keep moving forward towards life goals.

Beginning therapy can mean different things to different people, but it is an action of courage, hope, self- care, and self-determination. You might or might not have been to a therapist before. If this is your first experience with therapy, you might even feel a bit nervous or apprehensive and I am here to say that’s normal. Therapy is a process that allows you the freedom and privacy to discuss issues that may be sensitive or painful. They may even be difficult to discuss with your family or friends. Through our work together, you will be validated and can begin to feel more at home within yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, bipolar disorder, OCD, ODD, PTSD, and ADHD. We'll use a whole self and client centered approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.

I have experience treating children, adolescents and adults with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns. Seeing such a wide range of clientele has lead me to the belief that the process of therapy should be tailored for each unique situation. I also believe when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes people are free to experience change. There are many methods to accomplish this and I will help you explore what works for you.

Are you seeking treatment, but finding it very difficult? The decision to seek treatment is often very difficult, yet a necessary choice. For the last 28 years I have been providing a non-judgmental arena to work on a variety of issues to include but not limited to addiction, anger, gambling, co-occurring disorders, behavioral concerns, depression and anxiety.

I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania and have worked as a community based therapist for one decade. I've treated individuals of all ages and their families, addressing issues like managing and healing from conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and grief. My approach as a therapist is an integrative one. I pull from all my knowledge and evidence based theories/interventions to offer skills, information, and techniques that are unique to your needs.

I see in person and telehealth clients in Pennsylvania. I also see Telehealth patients from New Jersey. Everyone goes through mental health phases. These phases can range from misunderstandings among couples, adjusting to life after the death of a loved one, and or major depression. All of these Issues have one thing in common. They all can be managed. People can live a high quality of life despite being challenged with mental health obstacles.

With perseverance you can take the first step towards bettering your life, With hope you can see that brighter days are coming, With patience you can find the balance and peace for which you've been searching.

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.

Each person deserves to have an environment where they can feel secure, validated and free to be who they are without worry of judgement. Having access to an encouraging environment can promote a journey towards a healthier perspective on life, along with increased feelings of peace and satisfaction. My approach to treatment is geared towards those who can use support in modifying negative thinking patterns, feelings of uneasiness, challenges in acknowledging personal strengths, difficulty with healthy boundary setting, ongoing or acute life challenges and relationship difficulties.

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood? Do you spend your days just waiting for that moment where you can breathe? Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, nothing is ever good enough? Are you thinking, when do I finally get to just be me? You're not alone! When you are in pain and others are telling you to just get over it, I will listen. I can help you learn how to live life to the fullest, cope, and finally feel at peace. I believe that each person is unique and has something special to bring to the table. I want to help you believe that too.

If you'd like to master coping skills, learn more about yourself, conquer anxiety and/or depression, we can help. Do you want to strengthen your relationships with family members or repair a damaged marriage? Would you like to work on co-parenting in order to enjoy your child and prepare them for a successful future? Veley Foundation can provide supportive parenting coaching in order to increase familial attachment and enhance emotional regulation for the individual and/or the entire family using a family systems approach.

Are you struggling with grief, sadness, anxiety, depression, or just overwhelmed with life's stressors? Everyone struggles at times and needs support. I base my practice on creating a safe environment for you to share your story. My focus is to start where the individual is and utilize a strengths-based approach to collaborate and identify the goals you have for healing and what will best help you succeed.

Does negative self-talk inhibit you from opportunities that could potentially enrich your life? Whether it be going for a promotion at work or missing out on fulfilling relationships, what we tell ourselves can either hinder or help us. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to engender a sense of empowerment. In a world where matters feel increasingly out of our control, it is helpful to acknowledge what we can control. My Person-Centered approach creates a non-judgmental environment where we can explore difficult topics.

I work well in treating a range of presenting symptoms and needs, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, attentional difficulties, interpersonal dynamics, self-concept, phase of life, grief, and trauma. I draw on various treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as mindfulness-based approaches and somatic therapies.
