Narrative Therapists in 19709

Accepting New Clients: I believe my clients are experts on themselves; sometimes they just need someone else to help them problem solve and listen. My Master of Education degree from Widener University, focuses on human sexuality, so my specialization is sex and relational therapy. However, I also work with individuals for concerns including anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Have you ever thought why is this happening to me? How can I work through these feelings to become a better me? Nobody understands me? In these unprecedented times, these feelings are not uncommon but it is imperative to learn healthy ways to adjust and adapt. I am a direct and compassionate therapist that provides a safe space for individuals of all orientations, cultures, backgrounds and identities. I work closely with the adolescent community as well as individuals presenting with depression, anxiety, stress, work/life balance, relationship issues, academic issues, grief and traumatic experiences.

Healing and resiliency reside in each of us. When we develop the skills to tap into our existing strengths, we are able to live life fully. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment that fosters a sense of safety and trust. In this healing environment, you will have the opportunity to gain greater self understanding, self-acceptance and self-compassion. I believe that the relationship we will develop is one the most important dynamics of counseling, and will set the stage for a rewarding process of transformation and growth.

I specialize in helping children + adults build ‘toolkits’ - a set of skills that can help clients better cope with current life difficulties and have success dealing with future challenges. I’m very interactive and teach a variety of coping skills that individuals can apply immediately to learn how to successfully manage daily as well as their extraordinary stressors. Clients gain skills that become a foundation of stability, meaning our work helps with current problems and also brings long-term solutions for sustainable health + resiliency.

NOW Accepting New Clients: In my journey to becoming a therapist, I earned a Master of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University because I believe it is every human being’s inalienable right to explore, find meaning in, and be the author of their own sexual self. I believe that being a sexual being is no different than being a being who breathes. I am passionate about providing a therapeutic environment that embraces and supports queer, poly, kinky, and/or otherwise sexually marginalized individuals. I focus on individuals as well as couples. I also specialize in adult ADHD and neurodiversity.

Sometimes, old stories are built into our current awareness that no longer serve our needs. Grief, complex trauma, and unresolved issues become stuck in our thoughts and behaviors. Our energy becomes encased in worry or fears. Psychotherapy can reduce suffering, release tension, and build insight to the patterns that no longer serve us. Through compassion, acceptance, and nonjudgmental feedback, healing begins to shape a new story - the story of the life that we desire. Emotional safety is a priority at Korb Counseling as we work with your goals toward healing. Group counseling and meditation classes are also offered.

The 4th trimester (first 3 months after birth) is a fundamental time in any birthing person's life.

Nowadays, it can feel like standing in quicksand struggling with anxiety and stress at times! Unfortunately we live in a society that frequently tells a person they "shouldn't" feel a certain way –even if it makes sense based on the circumstances. Why is emotional validation so hard to come by these days? I connect with my clients on a basic HUMAN level. Instead of focusing on the "shouldnts" of depression, anxiety, ETC, let's focus on the "why" and "how" to manage them.

Sometimes experiencing anxiety feels worse than anything else. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, irritable, worried about the uncertainty of life, and completely isolated from the world. Anxiety can lead to intrusive thoughts, avoidance of one or more situations, and reassurance-seeking from family and friends. Maybe anxiety causes you to obsess over things like-- "Did I make the right choice? What if something bad happens?" Anxiety is uncomfortable, physically and mentally draining, and, at times, depressing. You might feel a complete lack of control and find it hard to cope on a day to day basis.
