Somatic Therapists in Pennsburg, PA

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

Sometimes on our journey we need an objective guide. I can help you enhance your ability to manage problems involving "big feelings” that otherwise overwhelm. If your goal is to start getting new results for old recurring problems we can do that with compassion and curiosity. It is important to explore our personal history to understand why we think or behave the ways we currently do. While personal growth isn't always painless, you don't have to be alone in the process if you have a therapist who will commit to the process along side of you. I can help you gain new perspectives that will get you to solve problems effectively.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or addiction? My ideal client is open to gaining insight into behavior patterns and problematic coping skills. I am kind & non-judgmental, but not afraid to give clients a little (figurative) nudge when necessary. I have experience working with all kinds of problems & diagnoses, both inpatient and outpatient, as well as individual and group settings. The majority of my experience lies in dual diagnosis treatment, working with clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use diagnoses.

Having had the experience of working with people of all walks in life, one of my favorite parts of counseling is getting to know you as a person, the whole you! My goal in counseling is to work with each individual to help connect their mind-body-spirit (as you define it) in helping them to improve their overall wellness. The joy of counseling is finding what works for you which is why I tailor counseling to each individual, while working to help you identify your own strengths that can help you overcome the challenges that life has to offer.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987

I treat Anxiety, depression, lack of self-acceptance, and grief problems. I help with the management of anxiety symptoms and depression, helping you to develop coping skills to manage your every day. I help clients identify and challenge cognitive distortions and replace them with positive affirmations. I will teach some mindfulness meditation to help you when anxious & help you obtain a better understanding of your mental health to cope with your emotions.

I specialize in working with individuals who grapple with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance abuse. If you find yourself feeling disconnected from your true self or struggling to prioritize your needs, our work together will focus on unraveling the layers that hinder self-awareness and authentic living.

"If you don't transform your grief, you will transmit it." -Tim Shriver. If you have experienced, or are experiencing, a loss and/or life transition, allow me to help you transform your grief so that you will not transmit it. I feel it is a privilege to walk beside those who are on a grief journey. I offer a safe, kind, compassionate, non-judgmental listening ear, and bereavement support. Life may never be as it once was, but you can experience happiness again. Grief is never resolved, but it can be reconciled.

Connection and trust are essential to me as a therapist. I strive to hold a safe space for my clients, supporting them in their journey towards personal growth and well-being. I focus on holistic approaches to support clients' overall well-being, as a key component to the healing process and I am available to connect with clients as needed.

Unlearning diet culture & relearning body trust can be confusing and bring up big feelings. In a world that tries to tell you there’s a right way to eat and a body type that is ideal, we are here to tell you that everyone’s relationship with food is different and that all bodies are good bodies. But just saying that doesn’t take away the complexities of your food culture and your lived experience. Whether you’re in recovery from an eating disorder or exploring a new relationship with food, everyone deserves a space that feels like no topics are off limits.

Are you feeling stressed or struggling emotionally? Are you going through significant life transitions? Experiencing losses? Feeling unhappy with yourself or in your relationships? Is your child or adolescent facing challenges? There is no doubt about it, we can find ourselves in difficult places as we journey through life. Most all of us have to face and go through tough times. As a seasoned therapist who has been practicing for more than 25 years, I know that life can throw us curveballs.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, sexuality, and chronic pain issues. I utilize Mindfulness, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Hypnosis techniques in my strength-based approach. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Lehigh University and a PhD in Human Sexuality from Widener University. Please visit my website for more information: www.dralexmilspaw.com

My emphasis in therapy is to support people with their unique goals. Through a healing centered engagement with ourselves and the world, restoration can take place. After I received my masters in art therapy/counseling I began working with adults and adolescents in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings.

When I began seeing a therapist, I realized just how much I needed an outlet to process hardships in my life and to feel genuinely heard, and this is exactly what I want to provide to clients who come to see me. As I have advanced in my own self-discovery and identity exploration, I have become interested in helping others in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent (specifically Autism & ADHD), and disability communities on their own journeys. My approach to therapy is helping guide you to bountiful self-compassion, exploring boundaries, and discovering your own passions.

There are moments when you may feel overwhelmed by past memories or experiences, social issues, life responsibilities, challenging relationships, or mental/emotional struggles. My goal is to provide a space to unpack these challenges and build skills to maintain emotion/thought regulation and a healthy relationship with yourself and others. As your therapist, I will uphold an anti-oppressive lens and normalize resting and nurturing your mind, body, and spirit while existing in a demanding society. Together we'll discover how you can live a healthy, balanced life rooted in self-love.
