Therapists in Royersford, PA

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.

Something has to change and you are ready for it! This is not how you want to continue living your life. Maybe you are feeling completely overwhelmed with anxiety, desperate to break old patterns, and/or ready to process difficult life experiences. I am here to support your journey with a very individualized and holistic approach. My style is warm, collaborative, direct, and down to earth. As a systemic licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I will help guide you in uncovering the root of the issues by exploring your foundational relationships and experiences and then work together to create sustainable change.

You might be asking, "How do I restore balance in my life?" In the complex dance of relationships, maintaining harmony can sometimes feel like an insurmountable challenge. Particularly in intimate relationships or within the family unit, it’s not uncommon to feel disconnected, despite your best efforts. Rekindling love, intimacy, and warmth in these relationships is within reach.

Navigating our worlds can be really challenging these days. Day to day life can be complex enough, but when additional stressors appear, things can get really difficult. Sometimes it is really helpful to have someone with a calm and quiet presence, and a couple decades of skilled practice outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming. It is reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.

You who are highly sensitive and feel a lot, welcome! You'll explore more deeply with me than in traditional talk therapy. You’ve likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to really “get” people from many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body and emotions, and gently access the root of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I view clients as the experts in their own lives, and my goal is to create a warm, empathetic, and supportive partnership. I support people experiencing trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. As someone raised in Uganda, South Sudan, and Kenya, moving to the United States as a young adult, I am interested in supporting people processing cross-cultural transition and bicultural identity, as well as intergenerational, communal trauma and survivor’s guilt. As a queer therapist, I enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ clients as well.

As a trauma-informed relationship therapist, I work with individuals and couples to establish more fulfilling relationships. I help couples improve communication, build trust, strengthen their connection, and heal from past wounds. I help individuals heal and process the past, develop more internal resources, and establish more trust in themselves.

Overwhelmed with anxiety? Frustrated with negative thinking or persistent depression? Maybe you are stuck with sleeping or eating habits that don’t seem to change despite your best attempts. Effective therapy should help you understand exactly why these symptoms exist (likely a very valid reason!) and help you identify a different course of action that is in alignment with the way you want to live. My goal for treatment is to meaningfully reduce the impact of symptoms rather than just learn better ways to “cope” with distress. Although results-oriented, I value being compassionate, encouraging, genuine and non-judgmental.

Following an intake assessment, I am able to offer recommendations regarding whether services are needed, further assessment or evaluation may be required, ongoing services, or a referral to another provider or group may be appropriate. I believe each potential client has the ability to self-determine what is best for him or herself, so long as not harming others. Go to KimberlyRehak.TribeSites.Com for more information.

Life can be challenging. Stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems can affect a quality of your life. You might feel overwhelmed and unsure what to do. I help clients to learn about themselves, heal from negative life experiences, learn coping skills and have an exciting and satisfying sex life.

I am a certified clinical trauma professional, and an AASECT certified sex therapist.

Sandplay Therapy is an effective tool for children and, too, it is an effective tool for adolescents and adults. Often, finding the words to express ones' feelings is a challenge. Together the client and the therapist review the creative process to help understand the feelings and experience. The picture created in the sand tray is a way for expressing ones’ internal feelings. Trauma whether it happens to a child, adolescent or an adult can contribute to feeling disorganized and insecure. For a child, adolescent or an adult feeling disorganized is scary. Sandplay Therapy will enhance self- regulation evident in one' behavior.

At a time of unprecedented mental health crisis, there is hope in new approaches that integrate ancient wisdom with modern advances. We have the capacity to create new realities when we understand the nature of our own patterns of thought and behavior. This consciousness is the first step toward healing. Contemplative psychotherapy enables introspective awareness of mental processes and behavior and is a necessary pre-requisite for effective self-regulation.

I will work with you to resolve areas where you may feel misunderstood, confused, or stuck. Studies have shown that we are able to change throughout our lifespan. This means we do not have to be stuck living the same way forever. My approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy where two people work together to understand what is contributing to one’s suffering and to find a path forward, toward recovery. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents looking for a change and a way to experience happiness in life.
