Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Millerstown, PA

It's not every day that you muster the courage to reach out and try a new therapist or perhaps therapy for the very first time. Maybe you are hoping to move past old stories or challenge things that feel like they're holding you back? My clients teach me about their own life experiences in a safe, caring environment. I collaborate to help them rewrite empowered stories for the present and the future. My aim is to provide a safe and respectful space for self-exploration.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I am a licensed professional counselor and music therapist with over 10 years' experience serving individuals and families in institutional, outpatient, and community settings. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, anger-related concerns, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, chemical dependency and other addictive behaviors, motivational and self-esteem problems, as well as those with developmental delays.

Now accepting telehealth clients in FL and PA! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in: treatment of adults, anxiety and depression, life-stage transition, trauma, relationships, life coaching, self-esteem development, and navigation of personal challenges.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

I love working with teens (15 years and older), young adults, and adults experiencing concerns related to abuse, anger, anxiety, bullying, depression, divorce, family stressors, grief, life transitions, living losses, loneliness, parental addiction, perfectionism, relationships, self-esteem, sexual abuse, and school stressors. My clients tell me I am compassionate, hopeful, committed, accepting, and very patient. I work extensively with clients from diverse cultures and identities and am committed to fostering an open and inclusive therapy practice. I have significant experience supporting clients with complex trauma histories.

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.

For over twenty years I have been working within the field of Individual and Family Intervention. My education in Masters of Arts in Counseling from Biblical Theological Seminary which is now referred to as Missio Seminary has provided me with the ability to help so many. I am certified in child sexual abuse treatment through Widener University and Family Support Line.

There are times in life when you may need someone to talk to. Do you long for a greater sense of balance in your life? Therapy can help you with making difficult decisions, changing problematic behaviors and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am Donna J Cardinal. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I provide individual, couples and family counseling. I am accepting new clients.

Whether you are experiencing a new emotional challenge , adjusting to a new season of life, or reflecting on past experiences, as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to help. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, reflective, and supportive environment for individuals to express and process their experiences and emotions. I approach my clients in a non judgmental way acknowledging they are the experts on themselves. Through therapy it is my belief that individuals will gain a deeper understanding of themselves to make lasting and meaningful changes in their lives.

My ideal client isn't defined by part of their identity as much as it is their circumstances. I consider a lot of social conditioning when working with my individual clients, especially with men's issues and women's issues. I work with couples who may be discussing separation or who are navigating parenthood and new life stages. My goal is always to help my clients access their vulnerability, which is where our most helpful tools hang out, so they can experience pleasant changes outside of the office.

In my experience, inside every person there is a psychological center, like a ‘Light’ leading us to love, healing, joy and growth. In a deep place in each of us, it is always present, though sometimes hidden. Known by many different names and through many different senses - center, core, soul, real-self, heart or unconscious, it is wise and kind and delights to do no harm, and intends only good. We all have a longing to connect to this profound potential, goodness and love within ourselves, within others and in all. I enjoy supporting folks in their journey back to this connection.

Are your relationships stressing you out? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells, afraid to tell people no? Do you find yourself saying yes out of guilt or obligation? I help adult children of emotionally immature parents process childhood wounds and move forward with peace, confidence, and self-compassion.

Everyone is on a journey, but not every journey is the same. My approach to therapy begins with meeting you where you are at in your journey and allowing you to create a space to share your story, supporting you as you address mental health issues you feel are creating challenges in your day-to-day life and creating the changes you desire. Together we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and more so you can begin to thrive in your journey through life.

Bodhi, the therapy dog, and I offer counseling to adults who would like help with anxiety/fears; injuries, illnesses, accidents and other trauma-related issues; negative thoughts; relationships; stress reduction/mindfulness; creativity and sports performance enhancement, & compassion fatigue.
