Elders (65+) Therapists in Wynnewood, PA

At Truth Center for Health and Healing we've learned the importance of the connection with ourselves and the relationships around us. Often times, feelings of depression, anxiety, and difficulties within relationships are triggered from previous experiences/ traumas that cause us to be “stuck” in unhealthy patterns of living.

Do you feel weighed down by anxiety and stress? Are you looking to change your life for the better? I will work with you to overcome challenges, set goals, and envision a better life. Whether you are working on individual issues, coping with family conflict or relationship challenges, gender issues, chronic medical concerns, transitioning through life stages, or looking to enhance the happiness that has eluded you, I can offer support. My training, experience, and approach supports focused, compassionate, nonjudgemental and targeted change.

Looking inward isn’t easy. It takes hard work to look at the stuff that keeps getting in the way of having the life you want. Often times it’s fear, other times it’s something more concrete. No matter what barriers you’re facing, together we can work through the fears and accomplish your goals. When we’re suffering from a loss, fighting a personal battle, processing a difficult childhood, facing a scary diagnosis, or other major life transition we all need support to have someone to walk along side us, see the light when we cannot, and hold us until we’re on the other side.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and groups. I am classically trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and am also an experienced provider of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Using a variety of techniques and approaches, including mindfulness training, insight-oriented and behavioral change strategies, I adapt my style to suit the needs and personality of each client.

If you are struggling with a protracted rehabilitation, whether from orthopedic issues, brain injury, stroke, movement problems, etc., or the effects of a chronic illness, we can assist you in processing the changes you have experienced, and facilitating your path to your goals of emotional well-being. If you are dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, etc.; cognitive issues, ADHD, insomnia, or learning problems; or sport, work or school performance struggles, we can empower you with effective evidence-based strategies and authentic heart-felt emotional support.

Psychotherapy helps you see yourself, and your world, in a new way. I am passionate about helping my clients to discover what make them feel truly alive, and I view my role as helping clients to identify the ideas or relationships that stifle that power. My style is compassionate and interactive, fully appreciating the courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy, while helping you make room for new possibilities to unfold. I look forward to working with you!

In my work with clients, I draw on my Cognitive Behavioral training as well as my work in positive psychology. I help people to approach their current difficulties in a structured and collaborative manner, encouraging them to discover and marshal the best of who they are. Populations served include those with depression, anxiety, stress management, or relationship issues. Coping with acute and chronic illness is an area of particular interest. I also work with people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed in either their personal or professional lives with the goal of not just getting by, but flourishing.

Welcome! I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families find healing and growth. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can comfortably explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Everyone has within them the capacity for self-healing and transformation. I work with individuals struggling with anxious thoughts, feelings of sadness and hopelessness, traumatic memories, and family conflicts. My approach is empathetic, creative, humorous, and collaborative. Therapy is a partnership; together, we will work towards your goals and understand your true self on a deeper level.

My therapy style is interactive and experiential, balanced with compassion, inspiration, and humor. Using a strengths-based holistic approach, I'll help you develop practical and realistic skills to manage and resolve problems that keep you from fully participating in life.

With over 30 years of experience I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, stress and the spectrum of mood disorders including bipolar disorder and borderline disorder.

No matter whether your problem is anxiety, depression, work, money or relationship stress, I can work with you to resolve these issues. I'm also trained and experienced to work with children and adolescents as well as adults who struggle with self-esteem issues, ADHD/ADD and relationship issues. I can help with short-term issues, like work stress or problems with a child, and longer term troubles, like addictions, money issues or problematic relationships with parents, sibllings or partners. Empathic listening (putting myself in your shoes) and responding accurately to your concerns builds a working connection that creates the context for change.

I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and family members to better comprehend their inner lives, enrich their connections with others, and feel more satisfied in their personal relationships as well as in workplace settings. My approach is influenced by my teaching and scholarship for over 25 years in understanding communication processes in relationships. I am licensed as a clinical social worker and a marriage and family therapist, and I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist.

My main practice is focused on treating trauma and attachment. My trauma training and education is broad and ongoing. I provide treatment to clients age 12 and over and have worked with survivors of domestic violence, rape, sexual abuse, child abuse and neglect. I incorporate EMDR into my practice whenever applicable and use an integrative approach that includes attachment theory, IFS, mindfulness and trauma psychoeducation.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed? Do you find yourself stuck in repetitive patterns? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or struggling with inner conflict? My goal is to help you acquire tools for building a stronger sense of self in your personal and professional life, and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships. My clients can expect to develop practical problem-solving and decision making skills, improved confidence, and a better sense of wellbeing through supportive therapy.

It has been an honor to serve and be invited into countless lives that span across cultures and intersections of identity. I remember the vulnerability, courage and boldness it took to begin my own therapeutic journey. I know that feeling bold, courageous, and empowered might be incongruent with what is felt when starting down this path. In fact, sad, tired, frustrated, or misunderstood might be more accurate. In either scenario, I intend to partner with you, and walk this path together. My training in marriage and family therapy has supported my understanding of individuals by seeing them from a systemic lens.

Together we will reflect on your life in order to find relief from the distress that led you to seek therapy. We will work to improve your relationships with parents, children, a spouse or partner. We may work to improve your performance at school or deal more effectively with your boss. You also may want to become a better leader. In sum, I will collaborate with you in order to help you to live with more vitality and feel more connected to others in a healthy manner.

Feel Better. Whether for depression, anxiety or relationship issues, the majority of the clients we see come to therapy with the goal of feeling better; happier, more connected to others, and free from the paralysis of emotional pain. Primarily psychodynamic and systems-oriented in approach, we look at how an issue experienced in the now came to be there, from early childhood experience to prior adult experiences, and how these all culminated in the present problem(s). We also utilize techniques to individually tailor treatment to the patient's needs, including cognitive/behavioral, problem-solving, and insight-oriented therapies, and often ..humor(!)
