Therapists in Newtown, PA

The connection one makes with their therapist is what makes or breaks the progress that can be made in therapy. I pride myself in my ability to connect with my clients. If you feel you can’t seem to find the right connection for yourself or your child, I’m the guy to call! I don't treat a diagnosis, disability, or disorder...I treat people. I believe anyone and everyone can benefit from the therapeutic process, if they put the necessary work in. Remember, a healthy mind can have a global impact on one's emotional and physical well being.

I am a Newtown based psychotherapist with a focus on family-based counseling. I am a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Psychology and Holy Family University with a Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling.

We are a private clinical psychology practice serving Bucks County for over 25 years. Our staff of experienced and caring professionals is highly skilled in offering individualized assistance in response to your needs. Some seek psychotherapy because they have felt depressed, anxious or angry for a long time. Others may need help navigating short-term problems such as divorce, empty nest, or grieving a loss. Children may display symptoms of separation or school related anxiety, peer conflict or oppositional behavior. When issues such as these begin to interfere at home, school, or the workplace, it may be time to consider individual, family, or couples therapy.

Newtown Therapy & Wellness Center is founded on the belief that individuals have the innate ability to change and self-actualize. We work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, couples, group and family sessions. Our providers conduct psycho-educational, ADHD and psychological assessment services. Our methodology involves encouraging clients to be actively involved in their treatment. We rely heavily on an interpersonal model of therapy while incorporating aspects of dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques. We are a gender affirming space.

I work best with people who have difficulty connecting how their current role relates to a personal problem. If you often respond to stressful situations in similar ways with little resolve and are left feeling misunderstood (anxious) and/or alone (depressed), this is an example of learned behaviors that becomes more casual for people over time. I one-on-one coach to promote change and help develop realistic tools that assist you in-the-moment as a life event unfolds. Using a straightforward approach I can improve your insight, discourage old habits and improve your personal control.

Everyone's journey in life is different, but invariably along the way we encounter some bumps in the road, or sometimes it seems they are more like mountains. Whatever has led you to seek help today, know that you are making a good decision by taking the first step toward finding a solution. My approach to therapy is individualized, with an emphasis on each person's unique needs and strengths. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the crucial elements to your success. It is through this collaboration that we can find solutions and restore balance to your life.
