Gambling Therapists in Conneaut Lake, PA

A large part of therapy is meeting people where they are at - and I deeply admire those who want to take the time to invest into becoming the best version of themselves. My approach is to meet you where you are at and to help you uncover the things that are compromising you from becoming the best version of yourself.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards self-care. I have great respect for those looking to better their lives and I am here to hold space for people to grow and learn more about themselves. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, working primarily with adults in many areas of concerns. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, marital issues, grief, or just overwhelmed with life, I am here to help.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and specialize in helping people to effectively manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns using cognitive behavioral techniques. I have worked with a range of populations, nearly all ages, and also have experience with couple's counseling and addiction treatment. I work with people to develop insight into the source of their problems, how their core beliefs about the world might be hindering their progress, and focus on their natural strengths to overcome those barriers with practical skills that generate sustainable change.

My ideal client would be one who wants to change destructive beliefs and is willing to work on their goals in therapy. Their issues would be challenges related to having mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, or substance abuse disorders. Their needs would be someone to listen to them and challenge their faulty beliefs and cognitive distortions. Their goals would be to improve their overall coping, communication, and stress levels.

I have been a practicing therapist for over 30 years, so I have dealt with all kinds of problems and issues that people come in, seeking help with. My approach is eclectic and personalized and is based upon the issues you bring, your life situation, and your goals for therapy. I accept most major insurances but if you do not have insurance, or an insurance plan I do not participate in, I have a sliding fee scale and we can make something work for you.

"To live is to have changed and to have lived well is to have changed often (John Henry Newman)." Are you struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, stress, marital, addiction or gambling problems and need help? Counseling can be the answer to a happier lifestyle. We focus on eliciting change and addressing current beliefs and behaviors that lead to negative outcomes in your life. I create an empathic and caring therapeutic environment to allow change and growth to happen. By empowering the client with strategies to overcome their problems then change begins and growth emerges. This leads to personal success.

Mental Health is health. You don't have to be afraid to reach out for help or continue to live your life on mute. It is okay to speak up and do what you need to in order to feel better, just as you would for a physical ailment! My office is a judgement free zone and I'm here to help you meet your goals when you're ready! I am a clinician with The Better Institute who works with individuals and with couples. I have 8 years of experience working with those who struggle with addiction whether that be drugs, alcohol, or gambling.

Life can leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed at times. Sometimes one may feel generally dissatisfied with life and wanting more, if any of these are you...you are not alone. Depression, hopelessness, relationship problems, loss, domestic/sexual violence, sexual abuse, and addiction are just a few of the issues that bring people into counseling. Confronting these realities can be a daunting task. Counseling and the therapeutic relationship can help individuals address these adversities, transcend negative emotions and heal. I've learned that a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation to combating negative emotions such as; sadness, guilt, shame, anxiety, hurt, and hopelessness.

Not accepting new clients. The choice to start therapy can be a difficult one. Sometimes life’s greatest challenges also present opportunities for transformation. My desire is to provide a safe and comfortable space where that can occur. Psychotherapy can be a wonderful process to take much needed time for yourself. The world throws a lot at us. I believe therapy needs to be a conversation-tailored to each persons individual needs. Collaboration is key and my goal is to help my clients learn skills and strategies to increase coping and find peace. I also believe that change is possible for every person. My pronouns are she/her.

Witnessing positive change in my clients has provided not only professional joy, but unflagging belief in the benefit of psychotherapy as a catalyst for personal growth. Investment in self can bring great personal and professional rewards. I am ready to work with clients who are seeking to identify key areas, issues or goals in their lives that will support recovery, relief and new insights into life's many confounding challenges. Optimizing my clients' potential is my primary focus.

Do you have trust issues in your relationship? Are you afraid to be honest with your partner or tired of trying to be someone you're not? Neither you or your partner are really talking about your hurt or resentments over pornography and infidelity. You've tried over and over again and the current situation isn't working for you and/or your relationship. Contact me and we will talk about how you feel about your challenges and together come up with a behavioral and emotional strategy for you to move forward! By the end of our FIRST session, you will be given therapeutic goals that you and I will work on.
