Waitlist for new clients
"We can always start again. Or start over." Hello, and welcome. Why suffer longer than you need to? I invite you to come sit on my cozy couch in a peaceful environment where you will receive essential tips about how to release that dead weight that has been dragging you down. My ideal client is tired of their mental health taking over. They are tired of their anxiety keeping them up at night. They are tired of their crappy mood affecting their relationships with others. They are tired of not following their dreams. They are tired- but they are willing to heal to live.

Hi there, I'm Jehlisah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I empower individuals to overcome some of life's biggest stressors while also finding ways to manage stress, cope with life changes, anxiety and depression. I strive to meet you exactly where you are and feel that every single person I work with requires different types of treatment for your specific concerns. Because of this approach, I take time to get to know you, your history and your current stressors so that we can work collaboratively to identify goals and work towards them.

Not accepting new clients
I enjoy working with clients with a wide range of backgrounds, presenting problems, and personality styles. To me, therapy is a way of not only reducing symptoms, but creating a life that allows for greater joy, psychological resilience, and fulfillment. Whether you have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, feelings of emptiness, questions of self-worth, difficulties with self-compassion and acceptance, having unsatisfying relationships, or just that something feels “off” in your life, my role is to collaborate with my clients and find that missing piece or inner peace that is essential for healing and growth.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
