Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Centerville, PA

Even when we feel lost, there is always a path to a more hopeful future. As your therapist, I can help you find your way forward: Toward your goals, toward self-understanding, and toward peace and satisfaction. I’ve worked with people from many walks of life successfully and focus on helping those who find their lives unmanageable or fundamentally unfulfilling, especially when it involves difficult childhoods or traumatic experiences. I make space in our sessions to give genuine human support, from philosophical soul searching to practical goal setting, with a balance of humility, humor, and psychological insights.

I am accepting new telehealth/virtual clients at this time! I enjoy working with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other behavioral health difficulties, as well as problems adjusting to day to day stressors. I also specialize in helping those who are feeling stress related to trauma or relationship conflict or violence, and people experiencing substance abuse disorders. Together, we focus in therapy on building new supports and developing healthier ways of coping. I utilize techniques stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other approaches.

It isn't always easy to manage the many parts of our lives. Sometimes situations, fears, beliefs, and unmet needs make the goals of being content and happy seem hard to reach. While we do the best we can, that doesn't always seem to be enough. Could how you do "the best you can" use a little adjusting? When things need to change, it can help to talk with a trained professional to sort things out. In most cases, there are options that have been overlooked. I can support you on your journey to a healthier and happier you.

I work with clients who are experiencing any one of a variety of issues, including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, sexual issues, and grief following the loss of a loved one, including to suicide. I also specialize in helping college students learn positive coping strategies to deal with stress, anxiety, social issues, cultural concerns, and life transitions.

Sometimes you feel like something is off, but you're unsure what it is. Your head is clouded with too many thoughts or information to make clear decisions about your career, relationships, or health. You ask for advice from others, but their insight doesn't help. You research different ideas, but the internet is saturated. You feel stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed. You hope and pray that the answers will just come to you. And the truth is, when we become so self-aware that we wholeheartedly trust our intuition, those answers CAN come to you instantly, with no doubt, no fear, and no guilt. You just need a mirror to reflect your power!

Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way. - Dr. Seuss. We all have our mountains that we must overcome. Life is beautiful and messy. Whether it is something small that we need to overcome or large, it is never too late to ask for help in making healthy decisions on how to climb. I am so excited to be on your journey with you. Your mountain is waiting, but do not feel like you need to carry the entire trip on your back.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Christian Counseling from Liberty University and also received her Master of Arts graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty. She is licensed in Pennsylvania & Tennessee. The late poet Maya Angelou quoted, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you”. This quote holds a powerful message to those interested in a therapeutic relationship.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to “find themselves” or who feels that who they are “on the outside” is different than who they are “inside.” Perhaps they're looking to find more meaning in life, personally, professionally, or both. They might not know where to start, in terms of being happier and more fulfilled, but that is their general goal. They want to grow as a person, but perhaps need help with motivation, or implementation. They're in the midst of, or foresee major life changes, and feel challenged or overwhelmed. They might need to talk, and to learn skills to help them adapt to the changes in their lives.

Unhealthy and negative thoughts act as a barrier, preventing you from being the best version of you. I will work with you in a safe and supportive environment to help empower you to challenge and dispute these cognitive distortions that are holding you back from reaching your goals.

In a world full of stress and challenges, therapy can be an outlet to review and process these obstacles to gain insight towards creating positive outcomes. I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach when working with individuals to overcome life’s struggles. With support, becoming mindful and self-aware can help improve relationships, careers, school and many other areas you value. During a time of heightened stress, life can become confusing and overwhelming. I hope to help you explore any struggles or conflicts and increase opportunities for happiness and positivity.

Hi, my name is Kelli and I am a Pittsburgh native. My passion is helping people build insight, heal, grow, and proactively improve life using an integrative approach that combines a psychoanalytic, cognitive, emotional, and mindfulness-based process. I meet clients where they are at and guild them to where they would like to be. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation.

I have been most helpful with clients who have clear goals or specific issues they want to address. I can work with you in a brief, specific and time-limited ways to help faciliate problem-solving and behavioral changes as needed. I can also work with you long-term to address chronic or longer standing issues of past trauma, family conflict, or issues with self and identity. Most importantly, I work collaboratively to help you meet your own needs by matching the treatment modality and plan with your stated needs and learning/attachment style. I am direct and honest, but always with permission and gentleness. I respect and value all.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

My approach to therapy is through a relational lens, examining patterns in life that might contribute to "feeling stuck". My goal is to help you overcome such barriers and live your best life while fostering healthy relationships. I am a licensed psychologist, and have also worked as a licensed professional counselor previously before completing my current degree and licensure. My background includes diverse roles working with adult populations, and also teaching as an adjunct instructor. My research interests have included studying music and emotion.
