Jewish Therapists in Pine Grove, PA

As a Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my L-rd and Savior, I believe that Counselors are born and not made, As stated in Isaiah 9:6. When requested, providing Christian-based therapy to those who need a holistic approach. I am a licensed professional counselor at NCC in Pennsylvania with 25-plus years of experience as a psychotherapist, LBC, and Minister. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, marital, couples, and family issues, depression, and youth & teens. Working in diverse settings: prisons, Outpatient, schools, churches, and inpatient.

I am thoughtful and kind, passionate about bringing people to a newfound perspective about themselves and what they’re bringing to therapy. I will bring you empowerment, awareness, and capability through ideas, experiments, and insights. I am excited to get to know you deeply as a human being, and share moments of realization about how parts of your life and self link together to explain what you’re going through now. Our exploration will be conscious of how environmental and structural forces influence and shape you, as well as how we relate to one another.

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.

Why were we taught algebra, but never taught about healthy relationships, delightful sex, grief, depression, or loving our bodies? Why do we fall into the same traps we fell into yesterday? Why do we go back to behaviors that we know are bad for us? I work with folks who feel stuck in painful cycles. I have special training in relationships, sex, and grief. I’ll give you tools & hold you accountable. My specialties are relationships, anxiety, grief, men's issues, queer issues, compulsive masturbation, porn literacy, low desire, ED & teens.

If you're looking for fluff free, no nonsense counseling, reach out to me. It's all too easy to lose touch with the things we stand for, as well as with the things that mean most to us. You were whole at one point, which means a path to sanity exists that is waiting to be rediscovered. Yet these behaviors holding you back have been heavily reinforced over time. The change ahead is not going to be easy or comfortable, but you don't have to face it alone. Past clients have told me that my ability to break down situations and clearly explain relational dynamics helped them to gain new insight into their histories and functioning.

I believe that therapy is about more than "working things out." The therapeutic relationship is just that: a relationship. I provide a safe and supportive environment to express emotions that are often difficult to express in other settings; anger, grief, sadness, despair. It is my hope to work with you to better understand yourself, and create a sense of safety within yourself. No person exists in a vacuum, so I will encourage you to reflect on your past, and how it influences your present. I believe that lasting change, requires diving deep to address deep rooted patterns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified Couple and Family therapist & Chief Clinical Officer at the highly-regarded Council for Relationships. With over fifteen years of experience as a dynamic psychotherapist, I am a deeply empathic therapist, whose warmth & humor help to create a safe environment for self-exploration, growth & empowerment. Together with my clients, I work to forge a new story about themselves & the world that comes from a place of compassion, strength & acceptance. I aim to help my clients live a richer life, engage in more fulfilling relationships with themselves & others, and embrace opportunities.

I work collaboratively. Together our first task is to identify clearly what are the problems which bring you to me and to make sure that I understand them correctly. Then we decide on which methods would be best for you. I offer short term cognitive behavioral, EMDR, solution-focused approaches including mindfulness methods. My goal is to help you become your own therapist. I want you to learn to deal with yourself better so you can cope successfully with feelings of anxiety or depression, increase your wellbeing, and, have the life you want.

You know yourself better than anyone else: your struggles, dreams, desires, goals, feelings, relationships. As a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, I help people understand their experiences in a safe and supportive space that promotes growth, healing, and exploration of all areas of life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or easily triggered, talking with a professional can help you navigate through those emotions and find balance. Therapy can help people regain control/focus in their lives and disrupt the cycles that keep leading to the same negative outcomes.

Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we'll delve into the depths of your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs, unraveling their intricate influence on how you show up in the world. We’ll work together to deepen your understanding of yourself, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with newfound clarity and confidence. Through our work I will support you by identifying and tapping into your unique inner strengths to empower you to achieve your goals and improve emotional health. Working together in a non-judgemental, collaborative space we’ll help you build confidence.

I work for The Center For Growth, treating everything from mental health to sex and relationship issues. I can help you manage thing like anxiety and depression as we explore and understand complex emotions in a safe space and find healthy and effective ways to express and release those feelings. We can immerse ourselves in exploration of your past as we make connections and gain understanding of how old patterns show up for you today. Or we can focus on the here and now, identifying what behaviors and thoughts are no longer serving you so you can create new goals that support your growth, in whatever way feels right to you.

My favorite part of helping people is collaborating with my clients. I work together with teens and adults to help them reach their goals, get some relief and learn new ways to cope. As a licensed professional counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor, my approach is both nurturing and strengths-based. I believe that every person is unique and has the ability to cope and heal.

TEENS: I help teens (and young adults), beginning at age 14 years, who are feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety and the isolation that it brings. Through a combination of talk therapy and practical skill-building, we'll work together to resolve their burdens and develop a solution for overcoming their challenges. Working through the hard stuff (with a healthy dose of laughter to get through the pain) leads them to a place of peace and relief. Finally, they're able to find joy in being themselves.
