Teletherapy for 17201

I work with adults, families, adolescents and elementary-aged children. I also provide supervision for pre-licensed therapists. I offer in person sessions in Chambersburg, PA. My style of therapy is trauma-focused but is guided by you and your goals. Clients tell me I am easy to talk with and seem relaxed during conversation. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, liked, and valued. I believe that every person is the expert about themselves. I also believe that you already have everything you need to succeed. Our job together is to locate and hone your skills.

I use cognitive behavior therapy. It is appropriate for a wide range of conditions. I have excellent results in treating anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and depression. I use a modified cognitive behavior therapy when treating couples. The therapy has been quite effective when treating couples. I have also been effective using hypnotherapy.

You work in high stress, high burnout fields. You love being the strong one, the one others rely on, pushing through everything. But you're wondering how much longer you can hold it together when it feels like your relationships, your life, are coming apart. You may feel like a failure, asking for help yourself. But you're not willing to give up on your goals for your life and those relationships that are so important.

My goal in counseling is to help individuals find healing, wholeness, and peace in the midst of life's journey. I will walk with you where you are and as you are with compassion, empathy, and without judgment or condemnation. With 25 years of clinical experience, I am equipped to offer education, coping skills, and strategies that are designed to provide you with help, encouragement, and support as you navigate life challenges and stressors. My Relational, Strength-Based approach to counseling is designed to instill hope, empowerment, and restoration for the individual, family system, and couple.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing therapy for 17 years. I enjoy helping people achieve their goals, whether that includes reducing intensity and frequency of panic attacks, preventing relapse, or improving school performance. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, attachment disorders, trauma, chronic pain, firesetting, anger, and problem sexual behaviors. I believe people are resilient and worthy of support and self-care. I invite you to chat with me about your treatment goals in a welcoming and judgement-free environment.

Life can be overwhelming, which can push you to feel lost and stuck. I specialize in trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Autism, but I also have experience working with other mental health issues. My clients find relief by working through their current issues by identifying how your life is being currently disrupted and then working backward to process your trauma. Some of my treatment modalities include Gestalt Therapy, DBT, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I believe in tailoring the treatment to each individual client depending on what will help you the most.

Sometimes life gives us challenges and you may feel like nobody understands you. We want to help ease those feelings and assist you in developing strategies using your strengths. We specialize in working with people who are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, difficult transitions such as divorce and family issues and those dealing with trauma. We also specialize in teenagers who have behavior disorders and difficulties in the school setting.

PGC Counseling is a private practice offering licensed, board certified services to adolescents and adults for the treatment of depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders as well as stress, PTSD, substance use or other mental health issues. Individual, family and couples counseling is available Monday through Saturday. We accept most major insurances as well as local and national EAP programs through your workplace. We treat all sexual orientations and religious beliefs.

I work with clients suffering from CPTSD, depression or anxiety. My focus is on helping people process and move through old issues by eliminating the emotions attached to those events by using EFT or Energy Psychology which I've been using for 22 years. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience and that you should look forward to that healing process. I also use hypnosis for numerous issues.

"CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOU CHANGE YOUR WORLD" – NORMAN VINCENT PEALE - Willing to seek answers is one of the first steps in healing the soul. The most resilient individuals have traveled through the Darkness. Knowing your strengths will help you explore options for change.

My mission is to provide a welcoming space for people to work on their individual goals. This can look different for everyone. For some, it's working through life changes or challenging situations. For others, they are on a journey to identify who they are and what they want in life. I believe everyone has the ability to make changes and discover things about themselves that will allow them to live the life they want. My focus is to provide a place for people to explore and learn while feeling accepted and supported.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients learn and implement the skills necessary for long-term results. I use a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called Rational Living Therapy and I am a Certified Rational Living Therapist. The foundational concept of RLT is that your emotions and behaviors are created by your thoughts, rather than your situations. This is a wonderful fact because you can learn to change your thoughts to improve how you feel, even if your situation does not change. By the conclusion of your time in therapy you will have gained the rational self-counseling skills to essentially be your own Therapist.

If your emotions feel overwhelming, and they're trying to signal you that they need your attention, I am here to help you. I provide a safe, comfortable space to explore who you are and work with you to provide a better understanding of you. I am here to help you learn to identify and access your feelings. I offer encouragement to help you get to your goals. With me, you can speak openly and fully about your anxieties and fears. I'd love to help you find your purpose in life by helping you recognize your strengths.
