I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, fertility challenges, perinatal loss, and trauma in the perinatal period. Whether you're finding it harder than you imagined to get pregnant, are struggling with a birth that didn't go according to plan, experienced a major loss, or aren't thriving in a new parent role, we can process, vent, reframe, learn new skills, or problem solve. Whatever you need. You may also be finding that unresolved wounds from your past are resurfacing and getting in the way of you showing up as your best self, we can address those issues too.

As a therapist I am genuine, compassionate, sensitive and honest. I believe that people need a safe space to be validated for their life experience wherever they are at. My passion and profession is helping people rebuild healthier foundations and having the gift of being a part of individuals healing their own life story and recreating their lives into something new. I believe it is an honor to work with my clients... The Answer for life's changes is inside you and being willing to take the journey...and its the greatest gift you can give yourself...

Welcome- I am so glad you are here. Being a human in our current world is a deeply layered experience and I believe we all deserve loving support as we navigate how to be our most authentic and grounded selves. You are not alone in your challenges. I am in the process of building a client list for individuals (16 years or older) who want therapy in person or online. I am recently graduated and awaiting licensure- planning to start practicing in June! I accompany those who may need support around anxiety, depression, relational challenges, life transitions, food/body image, codependency, identity exploration, loss, grief, and trauma.

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

In my practice I work with adults dealing with a variety of issues, including relationship issues, self esteem, depression, anxiety, loss/grief, work issues, trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, family issues, issues with food/weight, addictions, and anger. We all face life and interpersonal challenges at times, and it can be very helpful to meet with someone who has comfort in dealing with a variety of life stressors. I welcome ALL who want to improve the quality of their life and/or relationships and are open to sharing their story.

Over the last several years, we have all learned a great deal about our values. We have learned what we do and do not want out of life and our relationships. What is important is much clearer than before. Therapy can help navigate the way to that new life and to healthier relationships. I work with adults and couples of all ages with an emphasis on providing uncomplicated tools and communication skills strongly supported by research. Many clients struggle to stand up for themselves. I can teach that! Client sessions include humor, as it is a coping skill available to all of us.

Vincent Carrier MS, LCPC As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to understand how the past, whether family, relationships, traumatic events become the obstacles that prevent you from achieving YOUR goals. My efforts are focused on helping you recognize and understand how the mind collects, stores and uses this historical information. We work together to reduce and/or remove past issues, those obstacles that prevent you from having a happier, more fulfilled life. We work to develop coping strategies such as mindfulness and others.

I currently work with adults with mental health & wellness challenges impeding their ability to be their best "self" and preventing them from achieving full and sustainable lives. I specialize in working with people with autism, diverse and underrepresented populations, personal health and wellness, relationship challenges, self-esteem, challenges with identity or working through difficult life transitions.

I specialize in providing an authentic, dynamic and collaborative environment where clients can safely explore challenges and create goals. I provide couples, family, and individual therapy working mainly from a humanistic approach, with some elements of the psychodynamic perspective. I am also experienced with the treatment of eating disorders.

I view therapy as a collaborative process between myself and the individuals, couples, and families I work with. You have the unique knowledge of your life story and I have the traning and experience of supporting people to resolve problems that have become difficult to overcome in their lives. We use our knowledge and skills together to identify solutions that are right for you.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families.

I am accepting new clients in both Pennsylvania & Maine for telehealth only. I am a Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in working with adolescents and teens experiencing issues around life stage transitions, self-esteem, and family conflict. I also enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive experience working with clients around acute issues such as suicidality, self-harm, and trauma. My therapeutic focus is to use a trauma-informed psychotherapy approach and relational techniques to increase self-worth, decrease depression & anxiety, and tease out couple and family conflict.

I am a Substance Abuse Professional that blends therapeutic approaches to help each individual recover. I work with each person to help them find solutions to life's problems and reach their fullest potential. I offer tele-health options.I have 30 years experience as an addictions co-occurring therapist and Christian counselor. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment values based therapy to treat addiction problems. Family mediation is available for families in crisis. Couples counseling , individual therapy, mediation,and SAP services for federally licensed drivers are part of my scope of practice. "Every individual is deserving of help, hope, and healing."

I believe that all people are doing the best they can with the resources they have at the time. A good therapeutic fit could be just the resource you need to take your growth or healing into a new phase. Finding the right therapist can be a challenge, and I’m honored you are considering connecting with me. I am committed to creating an empowering space for you to tap into the tools, values, and beliefs already within that can help you thrive. I am especially passionate about holding space for Gen Z’ers, Neurodivergent folks or those exploring diagnoses, and folks healing from trauma and challenging family dynamics.

Welcome to my practice, I am excited to partner with you as you take the brave step in seeking help. Many struggle with the following: isolation, depression, anxiety, attention, identity, change of life, toxic stress, grief, trauma, relationships, work, or family issues. Do you feel alone and overwhelmed in these issues? I offer a compassionate and validating space in which to help you take a look at these issues in an empowering, strengths-based way. I specialize in using creativity, art, mind-body strategies, and self-empowerment in relationships. We will take an in-depth look at your concerns in a holistic way.

Congratulations on having the courage to change and to ask for help. Life can be a stressful process for all of us. Sometimes we feel alone and afraid and wish we had someone to talk to outside of our immediate family and friends. Perhaps we've tried the same behaviors over and over and wonder why we don't have different results. It can be very helpful to talk to someone who can look at our concerns and difficulties from a different perspective and shed new light. Once we feel deeply understood and become more mindful of our own values and beliefs, we are able to try new healthier behaviors that help us get our needs met in life.

I help new moms, aspiring moms and busy women overcome their deepest, darkest struggles by sorting through things that feel overwhelming, increasing insight into personal characteristics, learning how to cope with what's difficult and letting go of afflictions on repeat in their heads. Clients leave with increased self-confidence, a sense of hope and new skills to handle difficulties long term. Mostly, they learn how to enjoy their lives again...Whatever it is you're struggling with, I can help.

I use a holistic approach of mind, body and spirit to help in your healing. Do you want to decrease your anxiety, anger, or sadness? I hope to help support you with issues obstructing your life goals. We can work together using mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy and more to reduce anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and family conflict.
