Therapists in Exton, PA

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I aim to help adults, older adults, families, and couples stop struggling with difficult emotions and start living a life that aligns with their values. I have experience helping those struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, substance abuse, LGBTQI+ issues, illness, chronic pain, communication problems, burnout, and more.

As an Addiction Social Worker, I specialize in empowering individuals to recover from addictive behaviors via support and counseling. With an extensive working knowledge of diverse recovery approaches, including family recovery, I feel privileged to help individuals with addiction and their families create change and enjoy productive, meaningful lives. As research shows, addicted individuals often struggle with additional challenges, such as trauma, grief, and mental health disorders and I recognize that quality treatment must be comprehensive to include treatment of these issues.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I aspire to counsel clients collaboratively towards their individualized goals using a solution focused approach. I have been working in the field since 2005 and have experience providing individual, family, and couples counseling. I enjoy working with all ages. I currently offer individual supervision for counselors working towards their LPC licensure. Supervisees will be accepted on a case by case basis.

Mandy Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania who started practicing in 2021. She completed her Bachelors in Social Work at Temple University and her Masters in Social Work at Widener University.

I am an empathic guide who will help you to challenge your limiting beliefs and find your voice. I love working with young adults and adults who are seeking to align with their values, be authentic, and trust their intuitive guidance and compass. Together we examine your patterns of relationship and thought and how early experiences may be impacting you today. By healing and processing past and current stressors, my clients learn how to trust themselves, protect themselves energetically, and develop coping skills that leave them feeling empowered and confident in meeting the world as it changes around them.

Psychotherapy can bring light to darkness, hope to fear, and empowerment to stuck-places that weigh on us. I understand my role as your therapist as being a co-journeyer in your path through healing into a healthier, fulfilling life. My style focuses on reflective-empathetic listening to promote self-acceptance and awareness; cognitive flexibility and experimenting with new choices; and the affirmation of strengths. I have specialized experience with eating disorders, body image (HAES), and the effect of loved ones' addictions/alcoholism. I also value how culture, class, education, and power differences affect close relationships.

As an empathetic therapist, I help you navigate the intricacies of human emotions with a compassionate touch, tailoring my therapeutic approach to meet the ever-changing needs of each individual and couple. My commitment to understanding and adapting to diverse emotional landscapes fosters a safe and supportive environment for clients.

Christina has and continues to enjoy working with a diverse array of clients, including chronic and/or terminal illness, the LGBTQA+ community, grief & loss, BIPOC, mood disorders, co-morbid mental illness, trauma survivors, substance abuse, adjudicated youth and adults in corrections, and children and adults with IDD needs. Christina uses techniques from person-centered humanism, MI, DBT, CBT, community-based support, psychodynamic theory, family-centered approach, motivational interviewing and therapeutic phenomenology.

I work with adults on many common issues and concerns. I most enjoy working with other men who want to start talking about their mental health or taking it more seriously. I love working with people who have therapy experience and those who might be trying therapy for the first time.

I am a licensed therapist who sees individuals with mental health and/or substance use issues. When I began studying social work its philosophy resonated deeply with me as strengths-based with dignity for all. Social justice issues have recently been occupying a more prominent (long overdue) role in many conversations; I support the dismantling of systems of oppression in its many forms, and am supportive to clients if they choose to engage with these topics, whether or not they wish to bring them to the therapy space.

Anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, infertility, and professional burnout can be very overwhelming and make you feel alone and exhausted. My clients often come to therapy looking for relief from the emotional and physical effects of these stressors that impact their relationships and wellbeing. In therapy, together we can work to strengthen your coping skills, set and maintain healthy boundaries, gain insight and alter patterns that are no longer working for you, build more satisfying relationships, and improve your confidence and trust in yourself.

Currently accepting new clients. Do you feel stuck? Perhaps you used to feel confident and capable, and now you feel like you can't get any traction. I work with people who are used to have the answers, and now find themselves at a loss - smart tweens who are struggling with their emotions, smart teenagers who are struggling with their families, smart adults who feel like there's more for them in life. People who are creative and hard-working often find me to be a good fit, including executives, those who are in non-traditional jobs or jobs with unconventional structures, and those who are in non-traditional relationships..

In a safe, comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a holistic, highly individualized approach tailored to your needs in order to help you attain personal growth and awareness. Together we will work to create an experience where you feel empowered and on a positive path to mind, body, and spiritual wellness. Through collaboration, you will be able to reconcile and understand your past loss/traumas/relationships, overcome your challenges/patterns to live in the present, and make changes so you can grow into your true potential.

Sometimes life gets heavy. You can end up feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, and alone. When you feel anxious or depressed, you want relief. I can understand and support you. I want you to know it can get better! Working together can be the start of living the life you want. My goal is to get to know you (or you and your partner), provide compassion, and a safe space where we can work together to reach your goals. Reaching out is the beginning of your path to well-being.

A safe space to be truly heard, seen and understood. Whether you are grieving, experiencing anxiety, having difficulty in a relationship, or looking for support while going through a life transition, therapy is a place to talk, reflect, cry, and sometimes even laugh. It is a form of caring for yourself. To pause. To reset. To take a breath.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is my goal in partnering with clients in navigating through life's twists and turns, being a guide towards a middle path of acceptance and change. My focus is to empower clients to transform coping strategies into skills of daily living, identify and release themselves from self-destructive patterns that led them to treatment, doing so in an environment that encourages growth and development.

I understand the profound impact of infidelity and the complex emotions that come with it. If you or your partner have been affected by an affair or sexually compulsive behaviors, know that you are not alone. My specialized affair recovery therapy services are here to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for healing. You deserve to work towards healing from the pain of betrayal and restoring the relationship or making decisions about its future.

Have you "disappeared" in order to be in a relationship? Do you feel "selfish" considering your own needs and wants? Would you like to stand up for yourself AND still be in relationship? Is the phrase, "I matter, too," one you want to believe? If so, the time has come to create effective ways to move into relationship with Self and Others. The truth is that each of us matters equally. When we live from a place of mutual importance, we honor boundaries, make decisions for ourselves, and are responsible for the only person we can truly manage, our self.

Each individual has within them the ability to heal. In our work together the goal will be to help you identify and navigate barriers that keep you from having the life you deserve to enjoy. The idea that we are wounded in relationship and so healing must also occur in relationship is at the root of the therapeutic process and the work we will do together. My style is open, authentic and warm. Together, we will discover what is present for you in the here-and-now, explore the underlying issues & repeating themes, and tap into your innate healing power so you can live a more full and satisfying life.
