Teletherapy for Pennsylvania

People of all walks of life often go through tough times ... and I am here to help. I have worked, since 1991, with individuals, couples, and families across outpatient and inpatient settings, in homes and schools, and now through telehealth. I have assisted people with a variety of challenges--whether related to depression, anxiety, stress and trauma, behavioral control, self-esteem, substance use, life transition, and other concerns.

Hello! I work with my clients using a Cognitive Behavioral, Psychoanalytic, Solution Focused Approach. Solution Focused means we try to solve issues and problems as soon as possible. I am also a trauma specialist and have worked with military and domestic violence victims for many years. Trauma is relative to each individual and shouldn't be compared. And there are ways to heal and thrive! I also work with sexual addiction, childhood behavioral issues, depression and anxiety, chronic pain, career coaching, and all female issues. I also offer premarital and marital counseling.

Everyone struggles at times, and there should be no shame in asking for help. This is why we started Serenity Psychotherapy with a core belief that everybody should have access to professional mental health services and dedicated health care professionals anywhere in the world.

Here at Serenity Psychotherapy, we have an array of therapists with various specializations, such as depression, anxiety, relationship, substance abuse, and parenting problems.

We have a long history of working with diverse populations, who have developed varied problems: Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Marital, Parenting, Occupational, grief and more Our approach is to work with your strengths; help you to develop new views and skills and then organize them into a plan that works in obtaining your goals.

Your most well-intentioned friend or internet guru might have you believe that fixing your problems is a quick process that involves simple mantras and just doing things differently. In contrast, I believe that it is possible in time and in the context of developing a genuine and safe therapeutic relationship, for you to feel understood, cared for and free to express yourself while creating change. My clinical experience lies in helping those through relationship troubles, uncomfortable and painful feelings, addiction to substances, feelings of depression and anxiety, or just a quiet sense that something is not right.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult decision. It is crucial to find a therapist who displays warmth, compassion, empathy, attentiveness and a safe space to facilitate self-understanding and healing. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, my approach focuses on helping you find specific personality strengths to promote growth while increasing self-awareness. I have comprehensive experience and training in treating acute anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship conflict and addiction. I am flexible in adapting my therapeutic approach to support your unique needs.

Art Therapy sessions give your child a space to TRULY be themselves. Whether your child needs a space to process difficult life situations, freedom to be uniquely themselves, or wildly creative, I will offer them a safe and open-minded space to do so. We can learn ways to manage stress, fear, and other challenging emotions that are appropriate for their developmental level. They will have access to a wide variety of art materials and the ability to integrate drumming, play, and other expressive modalities depending on their (and parent supported) therapeutic goals.

This is the first step to becoming a new you. Life can often be overwhelming and filled with obstacles.

Past and present issues can cause stress, anxiety and depression if not dealt with properly. At PA Horizons Counseling, we can provide an opportunity for you to achieve the life you want. Our team of therapists aim to guide you through your journey in discovering your true self. We believe therapy is essential to recovery.

My goal as a therapist is to engage authentically, share honestly, and think openly. I have been fortunate to work with people in end of life care, chronic illness, grief and loss, incarceration, addiction, autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, and have spent most of my career supporting youth and families through a variety of life stages and challenges. I provide opportunities for people to engage in experiences that will expand their understanding, explore their circumstances, and develop resources for their unique journey.

Finding a therapist, especially during periods of stress, can be extremely overwhelming. Yet, the connection, the solutions, and the relief that you can access in therapy is priceless. If you’re feeling stuck and don’t know which direction to go in, or if you’re searching for ways to save your relationship, I may be the right fit for you! I have spent the last five years as a trauma therapist for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, providing thousands of hours of psychotherapy.

I provide therapy to adults struggling with a range of problems and focus on grief, health-based concerns, trauma, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating collaborative treatment plans that correspond with your values. My role is to guide and support as you intentionally move toward your goals. I believe we all have the skills needed to find our purpose, and I can help along the way.

All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

Do you imagine yourself living a more effective life? Does it feel that no matter how hard you try you keep getting stuck in the same patterns and routine? Are you struggling with overcoming a traumatic event or feeling sad all the time? Is anxiety or substance abuse getting in the way of your life? Have you tried to solve these problems on your own and realized you need help from someone else? The good news is that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has a tremendous track record in helping all of these concerns.

With a history deeply rooted in addiction, I am a testament to the resilient spirit of recovery. Growing up amidst alcoholism, drug addiction, mental health challenges and domestic abuse, I bore the scars of those traumas. And even as I tried to distance myself from the legacy of my upbringing, addiction found me in numerous forms: from food to shopping, from relationships to substances. My journey to recovery wasn’t linear. I struggled with relapses, leaned on maintenance medications, attended 12-step meetings, intensive outpatient programs and used various harm reduction tools. I was convinced that formal treatment wasn’t for me

Our stories often include twists and turns that keep us from moving forward. That may be due to turbulent relationships, use of substances or a loved one struggling with substance use, bouts of depression or anxiety that impacts quality of life, a loved one passing away or our own thinking patterns that influence our behaviors. My role in working with you is assisting you with moving forward, finding solutions or courses of action, and building your toolbox so that you can cope more productively.

My clients come to me with a wide variety of concerns related to anxiety, depression, confusion, low self-esteem, life transitions and adjustments, impulsive behaviors (e.g., substance use, binge eating, self-harm), etc. There is no problem too big or too small, and you are brave for considering therapy. No matter what you are searching for, I believe change is possible and therapy can help.
