Family Therapy in 14608

When things are difficult, it can isolate us, drain our emotional reserves, and limit our ability to look at things in new ways. I work to help clients appreciate the depth of their experience, and support them toward personal strength and healthier relationships. My style is open, collaborative, direct, and supportive. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years in private practice. I also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Rochester's Counseling Center for many years.

Do you find yourself feeling unstable or broken, no matter what you do? You've tried toughing it out, burying your feelings, taking medications, going to therapy. None of it has been enough, and you're afraid you'll never feel better. You're tired of getting triggered, living through the same ups and downs over and over again, and feeling bad about yourself all the time. I want you to know that your life can be better; your life can be good.

Are you looking for something different? Have you tried therapy before and did not feel it was helpful? Perhaps you are looking for a non judgemental space to work on substance use concerns and mental health and have found it difficult in the past to find a therapist you connect with. I am a harm reduction model therapist, that aims to help you reach your goals. Maybe you are looking for someone that understands the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ folks. I provide a style that is warm and welcome to all. I want to meet you where you are at and help lay the path for growth. Change can happen, sometimes you might need someone to help.

Relationship infidelities due to sex addiction leave a partner feeling fractured and traumatized. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) at Kavod Center for Addiction Recovery specializing in partner trauma. With compassion and understanding, I offer a proven way to achieve a thorough recovery. The core of my work is to help partners regain trust in their own intuition and judgment, reclaim their sense of self, and renew their self-esteem. I offer individual treatment sessions and group therapy, couples work, preparation for formal full disclosure, and advocacy for partners.

I provide services to children, teenagers, adults and families and have over 18 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I approach therapy from an integrative theory of psychotherapy, blending different approaches and modifying treatment based upon your unique needs. I believe that therapy is a collaboration where we examine your concerns with curiosity and without judgment. I work with people who are seeking to improve their relationships with others, searching to heal old wounds, struggle with depression, anxiety, or trauma. I also work with children and teenagers who struggle with their emotions and behaviors.

I am committed to working with individuals who have a wide range of mental health issues. With thirty years experience I am committed to the fields of anger management and domestic violence helping clients discover and alter dysfunctional thought and belief patterns that support and justify acts of anger and domestic violence. In addition I also work with couples and individuals who have a wide variety of emotional issues including loss, grief, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. I have a cognitive behavioral orientation and work with the strengths of each individual to sustain behavioral changes in thinking, feelings and actions.

As a mature results oriented counselor, I believe in the value of focused listening to connect with my clients. This approach provides the foundation for creating genuinely personalized therapeutic interventions for individuals, couples and families. My philosophy is that counseling should be inviting, accessible and deliver outcomes. Therefore, my mission is to provide therapeutic services that reflect your uniqueness and supports your personal values. Services are offered evenings and weekends to accommodate the needs of those who find it more convenient to meet outside of normal business hours.

I believe we all share the need to be deeply understood, especially during difficult or challenging times. I appreciate the courage clients show when they share stories of their lives. Without fail, I find these stories layered, complex, unique and moving. I admire clients who dare to share life stories that are "works-in-progress" -- messy, drafty, tentative. Stories with icky parts (that's a technical term!)... or tender parts...or broken parts... or out-dated parts. Stories with gaps -- spaces -- where yet-to-be-written parts will go. .I believe this process leads to healing and transformation.

Welcome! In a tough spot? My approach with clients is engaging and interactive; I am invested in the collaborative process, which I believe is inherent to the therapeutic relationship. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment finding balance between active listening, empathy, support, and behavioral interventions. I will help you identify and better understand choices, ways of thinking about situations, and behavioral patterns that may be getting in the way of living your life to the fullest. We will focus on thought patterns, symptom reduction, improvement in mood and functioning and improved ways of relating to other.

Have you been feeling stressed and anxious about life? Do you feel you have to be everything to everybody and then not take care of yourself? If any of this sounds familiar, I'm here to help you. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive atmosphere that will allow you to express yourself & uncover the negative thoughts & behaviors that are interfering with the realization of your hopes & dreams.

We have other clinicians at Sankofa Family Counseling who are accepting new clients. Being here, indicates that you are committed to helping yourself, or a loved one. I work with children and adults to sort through past and current challenges. I help my clients integrate these experiences so that they are manageable. My approaches and insights are adaptable for the age, cultural, and spiritual identity of the person or "persons" sitting in front of me.

Find peace from within. That's my motto when working with clients and walking beside them during the most difficult moments in life. Life is often unfair and terrible things happen to us. However, we are still responsible for remedying these situations and creating our own happiness. I believe that you are capable of achieving inner peace and calm through processing your experiences and receiving honest empathy and feedback. I am here to help you take control of your life. Taking control of your life might mean making difficult decisions such as cutting out unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and even people.

Working through your struggles can feel like an isolating experience. I create a supportive and collaborative environment to help you safely work through your personal challenges and achieve your goals. I am an experienced Social Worker who’s practiced clinical therapy in acute, medical, community, and outpatient settings. I work with diverse populations ranging from college students to active adults. I specialize in, but am not limited to, working with anxiety, self esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Additionally, with a background in visual arts, I embrace your creative process and understand the importance of self-expression.
