Therapists in Aspers, PA

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.

Have you been told you are “too sensitive”? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety? Do you experience intrusive thoughts and wonder, “Why did I just think that?” Perhaps you are on the path of healing from sexual trauma and wish to feel more empowered. Maybe you’re going through a challenging transition and need a safe place to process your thoughts and emotions.

I provide individual therapy for adolescents, teens, adults, as well as couples, families, and group counseling. Through a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs, I assist clients in identifying limiting beliefs and outmoded coping mechanisms that may be standing in the way. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Services provided span from therapy for depression and anxiety to relationship and family counseling, stress management, anger management and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I hope to help clients attain the personal growth they're striving for.

I encourage personal growth and support my clients through the joys and challenges of life. My expertise is in helping adolescents, adults, and parents build strategies that support their goals toward a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety, stress, and significant life transitions. I focus on the values of my clients to help them create a balance in our work together including educational tools, therapeutic skills, processing, and celebrating progress. Therapy takes courage and compassion to talk about the challenges and celebrate meaningful, positive changes.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here, taking the steps to find what you need- whether that be to learn more about yourself, develop skills to cope with being a human in this difficult world, or to just be heard in a loving space. LGBTQIA+ affirming, intersectional feminist, sex-positive. I specialize in working with female and non-binary folks ages pre-adolescence into adulthood from all backgrounds and lifestyles. I am currently not accepting men or young children. I specialize in working through issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal relationship struggles, and adjusting through life's hardships.

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.

Are you feeling weighed down by overwhelming anxiety or struggling to stay focused due to ADHD? I want you to know that you are not alone, and I am here to provide the compassionate support and professional expertise you need to navigate through these challenges. Living with anxiety and ADHD can be incredibly tough, and it's okay to feel the weight of these emotions. I want you to know that I genuinely care about your well-being, and my goal is to help you find relief and regain control over your life. I have helped many people just like you to find healing and real hope.

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.

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.

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.

Life is overwhelming at times. I am dedicated to helping you resolve your stressful issues and achieve happiness. I use EMDR, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychotherapy in my practice. I can also integrate the expressive therapies as a therapeutic tool at your request. My office is located in the Great Valley Corporate Center for your convenience. Please checkout my website for more info: www.expressivecounselingassociates.com.

In-person sessions offered at the Johnstown office. I will continue to offer virtual sessions too! Counseling doesn’t always have to involve diving into deep childhood trauma, though sometimes it does. Counseling can be the place to explore existential themes that we encounter throughout the human experience, such as meaninglessness, loneliness, shame, inauthenticity, and more. It can be the place where we find acceptance and validation that encourages us to take steps to achieve our goals for a more fulfilling existence. My approach focuses on helping you uncover your true self so that you can live your best life on YOUR terms.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist! I am very interactive, utilize humor, my own experience, and a lot of mindfulness in my approach. I am trained in yoga and other meditation techniques, and often integrate that background into the therapeutic process. I believe that you are the expert of yourself, and my role is to accompany you in recognizing and owning that. I will help you not only understand why you are suffering, but also learn tools from many different traditions for dealing with life's challenges. I specialize in helping motivated people navigate the challenging changes in life.

Are you ready to work with a therapist who gets you? I work with preteens, teenagers, and young adults. We focus on issues like identity formation, trauma, body image, and disordered eating, and they get to bring their authentic selves to the therapy space. As a queer person, I understand how important it is to feel safe in bringing your whole self to therapy. I'm here to listen to your story and let you be the expert on your life.

Navigating our worlds can be really challenging these days. Day to day life can be complex enough, but when additional stressors appear, things can get really difficult. Sometimes it is really helpful to have someone with a calm and quiet presence, and a couple decades of skilled practice outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming. It is reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.

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 am a licensed professional counselor with 20+ years of experience. I am interested in helping people find hope and direction in their lives. Life has been difficult for many during these past few years and many people have been isolated from the support they need.

Through Telehealth and weekly appointments, I am accessible and can help you from the comfort of your own home. See link, lower right side of screen, to schedule directly on my website.

Are you struggling with deeply painful emotions? You deserve a space where you feel safe being vulnerable to process the challenging and unexpected parts of life.

I will always meet you where you are in your life and journey, providing you with a trauma-informed approach to healing that works at your own pace.
