Therapists in Newport, PA

I am one of those therapists who genuinely loves their work. Getting to understand my clients and the hurdles they face is a privilege that I take seriously. If you are struggling to form and maintain healthy intimate relationships, overcome trauma, to coexist with and even manage anxiety and depression, to gain new approaches to coping with obsessive compulsive symptoms... well, these are just a few of the issues that we can work on together! We can navigate this journey as a team, collaborate on setting realistic goals, and then you can define what "progress" would look like in your eyes.

I'm Stacy Dove, LPC and co-owner of Set Sail Counseling, LLC. I’m excited that you’re here and considering “setting sail” on your journey toward healing. We believe in the power of relationships to help people heal and to recover from whatever stresses they may have encountered in life. I see my role as a therapist being to help you better understand yourself and the concerns that bring you to therapy, as well as to challenge you to move forward from stuck places and continue to grow. I am currently waitlisting new clients; however, we have openings for telehealth self-pay clients with our new therapist, Stachia Lippy, LPC.

If you’re on this page, it’s likely life has dealt you a challenging blow. Maybe it’s been a culmination of trials over many years or a singular event that leveled you in one fell swoop. You’re not alone. Life may have knocked you down, but it is my passion and privilege to help you get back up again. I believe in your innate ability to heal and grow, and as your counselor, I will nurture this resilience. I will come alongside you in the healing process and provide therapeutic, evidence-based support.

My ideal candidate is struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety; they need both a safe space to share their thoughts and emotions, as well as guidance; their goals are to develop a healthier relationship with themself, as well as develop coping skills and tools to manage their mental health concerns better.

Creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for you to process your experiences, explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and try new ways to thinking and behaving is my goal as your treatment provider. Therapy should be a space of trust and a space to grow without concerns of criticism, shame, or guilt. Often the quote that 'all roads lead back to trauma' comes to my mind, we all have our own shaping experiences. I believe we all benefit from a safe landing space to explore, learn, and grow from our life experiences. Let's find what gives you meaning and further grow your life to support your needs and wants.

Hi! I'm so glad you're taking steps to your own growth. I'd love to be a part of that journey! My style of therapy is focused in rational thinking and empathetic listening. I like to remind my clients to recognize the power they hold in their own lives. I work collaboratively with my clients to increase self-worth and reframe faulty or problematic narratives and patterns. I try to create and maintain an environment of safety and validation to support individuals in overcoming past and/or current obstacles and creating last change in their lives.

Healing, personal growth and ultimately flourishing, takes effort. We may find ourselves fighting against not only the outside world but sometimes ourselves. And if you are reading this far, then I want you to celebrate…here and now. Offer yourself gratitude. While we may aspire for worldly success in our relationships, work, or daily routines, attempting to do so without knowing ourselves deeply, healing personal and generational wounds, and feeling empowered, we fall short. That's why with clients of varying, intersecting identities and unique concerns, I prioritize personal/systemic insight, authenticity, and acceptance.

My specialty lies in working with those who have experienced traumas, both large and small. Many times people see trauma as large life changing events and put aside the smaller things that can leave a mark. I try and explore both of these experiences with my clients, along with their relationships with others and themselves. This can cover a range of topics including, but not limited to, self-esteem, anxiety, boundaries, and self care. My goal is to create a space where clients can explore their emotions on their own timeline not mine or anyone else's.

I am focused on supporting clients who feel challenged either in a particular phase of their life's journey and want help processing their needs and goals or who are struggling to find peace and want to explore tools and techniques that can help them feel more grounded and discover their inner strengths.

Trauma. We all experience it at some point in our lives. It’s that thing that keeps you up at night. The thing that you distract yourself from by working extra hours, scrolling endlessly on Tik-Tok, self-harm, addiction, codependency. We run, fight, freeze, fawn, shut-down. Our bodies are built to adapt to the stress in our lives but what happens when the stress is too much? When we run into obstacles like bullying, abuse, illness, separation, loss, disasters? What happens when there is no one to witness our pain? We forget about the parts of ourselves that are creative, brave, intuitive, funny, smart, kind, gentle, strong.

Hello, I'm Chris. If you've ever felt like you've been alone in society and that you are experiencing a sense of stress related to societal expectations that are unrealistic or built for those who are in a group you feel you don't belong to, I may be a good fit for you. I have an extensive history of working with individuals of various minority group backgrounds, but specialize and focus in working with people who identify within the LGBTQ+ community, including offering affirming services and helping people navigate coming out, family and peer relationships, and romantic and sexual concerns.

Are you dealing with life transitions and trying to find yourself? Are you trying to break the cycle and begin the process of learning to be vulnerable and self-reflect? Are you committed to “showing up”? You may have difficulty finding independence in your unhealthy family dynamics and are working on finding a sense of self outside your relationships. You have dealt with anxiety and negative thoughts and no longer want these issues to hold you back.

Are you feeling stuck or ambivalent? Uncertainty can be overwhelming and a source of anxiety. My goal is to help guide my clients to find their own answers by providing a safe, comfortable environment for expressing and exploring feelings. I will not rush into fixing, but rather find the right questions to ask to help you delve deeper in your exploration and see things from a new perspective.

I have worked to create an integrated, evidence-based, and holistic group practice where my vision of the ideal environment for growth can unfold. The associates in the practice have diverse backgrounds, interests, and training. No matter what problem or difficulty with which you present, someone in our group can assist you. We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.

What do you not know about yourself that you need to know in order to stop getting in your own way? With 20+ years of experience and Ivy League credentials, I will be useful to you as you: 1) uncover, name, and alter unhealthy patterns of repetitive unconscious behaviors, 2) allow yourself to mourn losses both actual and psychological/emotional, 3) identify erroneous thinking patterns, 4) communicate with others so that you are able to make yourself understood the way you intend, 5) learn and practice active listening, 6) unlock keys to self-knowledge contained within your own dreams.

Welcome to RHS, I hold a Master of Social Work Degree from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. Currently specializing in Sex and Relationship Therapy, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Family systems therapy, and a wide variety of mindfulness-based holistic clinical approaches. I am currently being supervised by Dr. Tony Reigle, PhD, LPC and Dr. Estefanía Simich Muñoz, PhD, LCPC, CST, CST-S, Patricia Rich LCSW, CST-S, CST. I work with women, men, 2SLGBTQ+, survivors of abuse, folks with HIV/AIDS, in the Kink/BDSM lifestyle, folks struggling with sexual function issues, and those in relationships struggling to build intimacy.

My goal as a therapist is to guide you to a place where life feels more manageable. Healing from difficult experiences or coping with overwhelming emotions can seem like an insurmountable task. The journey to health can be made much smoother by talking to someone who will actively listen and provide you with feedback. You and I can collaborate to find the best pathways to manage or alleviate your symptoms. You don’t have to go through it alone!

Hi! Do you ever feel like life is unfair, cruel, difficult, and/or meaningless? Do you wish you could be happy or that your life was better? If yes, then let me ask you something, are you willing to be vulnerable and allow me to guide you through your darkest moments?

As a therapist, my role is to walk with people in understanding themselves and their lived experiences, to help people acquire skills to cope with adversity and build resilience, and to foster health, well-being, and self-compassion in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I strive to provide a warm, inclusive environment where clients can be themselves unconditionally - where they are free and encouraged to be who they are without hesitation. I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is a solid, collaborative relationship based on empathy, trust, respect, and honesty. I understand my clients as human beings before anything else.
