Therapists in Birchrunville, PA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Some of my clinical experience includes: trauma work and healing (with EMDR as an option), addiction recovery support, depression and/or anxiety combining mind and body work in treatment, working with teens and children on emotional regulation while building skills that will develop intrinsic self worth, and examining thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in interpersonal relations.

For the past 20 years. I have helped families,couples, adults, and teens to strengthen their relationships and better cope the problems, challenges and demands of life. Having trained with some of the pioneering family therapists at the Famiy Institute of Philadelphia, I bring the knowledge and experience to help couples and families communicate and problem solve more effectively. I work collaboratively with clients to develop self-care and stress management practices that improve quality of life. I am the clinical director of CM Counsel, a multispecialty group practice providing psychiatric and psychotherapy services with offices in Exton and Plymouth Meeting, PA

Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies, and many of us have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually.  I believe that everyone is a sexual being, and that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives.  I enjoy working with folks on issues of desire, desire differences in relationships, healing from sexual trauma, sexual behavior that feels out of control, sexual self-esteem and body image, sexual function concerns, kinky and poly experiences, gender-related concerns and more.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with close to 20 years of helping professional experience. My hope is as your therapist to be a breath of fresh air during this difficult time.

Hello! I am Ed. Do you feel as if the way you feel at times is diminishing life's simple pleasures? Do you feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life?

By coming here, you took the hardest and most important step towards the path of healing. You are a parent seeking help for your teen daughter who is experiencing anxiety, depression and who has lost interest in her daily activities. You are a woman who is going through separation and divorce and struggling with whether you made the right decision. Whether you are feeling anxious or depressed or grieving a loss of a loved one or a relationship and you feel overwhelmed, I am here to help you! I work with teens and women who have experienced traumatic situations and feel like there is no joy in their lives.

Are you feeling alone, stressed, confused, overwhelmed, hopeless or helpless? Do you think your world is upside down and there is no way out? You probably think you lost control of your life. WAIT, you are not alone. Many situations in life impact us in different ways that sometimes we cannot understand or manage on our own. I am here to help you go through those situations and experiences and regain control of your life. I am also here to empower you to discover the capable, strong, and sufficient you that can defeat the anxiety, depression, or day to day life stress affecting you.

Every day, I sit with women just like you. Women who are struggling. Women who are trying to cope with intense grief, devastating pregnancy loss, the roller coaster of infertility, the anxiety of pregnancy after a loss experience and the challenges of the NICU experience. Every day I support individuals who are managing difficult relationships and trying to cope with overwhelming life transitions.

Highly sensitive old soul or empath, you and I will explore more deeply together than in traditional talk therapy. You've likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to "get" people from so many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body at a safe pace, and gently access the root of of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I specialize in evaluation and diagnosis, which are the building blocks to effective treatment. As a Licensed Psychologist for over 20 years, I have developed a great appreciation and compassion for the needs of my clients. I counsel teens, adults, seniors, couples and families to find practical and successful ways to meet these needs.

I'm a Board-Certified Licensed Professional Counselor, with a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Master's degree in Counseling, and another Masters degree in Education. I specialize in treating adult survivors of childhood trauma, neglect, and abuse. I'm also specially certified as a sexual addiction therapist (CSAT), and I work with adults who have ADHD, along with their partners. I am available for sessions at my office, and on-line for clients in OR, WA and PA.

Sandplay Therapy is an effective tool for children and, too, it is an effective tool for adolescents and adults. Often, finding the words to express ones' feelings is a challenge. Together the client and the therapist review the creative process to help understand the feelings and experience. The picture created in the sand tray is a way for expressing ones’ internal feelings. Trauma whether it happens to a child, adolescent or an adult can contribute to feeling disorganized and insecure. For a child, adolescent or an adult feeling disorganized is scary. Sandplay Therapy will enhance self- regulation evident in one' behavior.

I provide psychological services to children and adolescents who present with maladaptive coping skills and behaviors as a result of unresolved mood, anxiety, trauma, identity, family, social/cultural, and/or educational challenges. My approach to therapy is tailored to an individual's presenting needs, but is always rooted in genuineness, compassion, and unconditional positive regard.

I offer a strength-based, solution-focused approach to change. We can work together to relieve anger, fear, anxiety or symptoms of depression. I can share tools & skills toward bettering your marital & family relationships. I will assist you to navigate the often turbulent & challenging phases of adolescence & young adulthood. I will help facilitate better communication in blended families. I offer counsel to help manage life transitions-marriage, divorce, relocation & career change. I will support you through the process of grief & loss. I will foster improved self-esteem, empowerment and self-compassion.

Sometimes the people in our lives just don’t get it. Our lives don't often offer the non-judgmental space to work through trauma, heartache, and overwhelming stress. Talking with a therapist is different from talking with a friend or family member because you are free of obligations and responsibility. It is all about you, and I will ask helpful questions, point out connections and patterns, and simply give you space to put yourself first and talk through your experiences.

When you look back at your childhood, you may have questions. You might wonder how your childhood experiences and family dynamics impact you and your relationships today. Feelings of disconnection, anger, anxiety or sadness may be what brought you to my page, but there is a need to understand more about your life and why you may feel this way. What could be different? Examining and understanding our histories unlocks needed shifts for the present. I can support you with this self discovery process and can guide you in making the changes needed to foster healthier patterns in your work, relationships and overall life.

We all need to be heard. We all need someone who can sit with us and truly hear our story. I believe therapy is a collaborative process in which we work together to address the challenges and changes you may be facing. For 26 years, I have been working with people just like you--people who need someone to listen, support and engage. People who need a dedicated time and safe place to step out of the chaos of life and sort through their stress and struggles. People who are seeking self-awareness and supportive feedback.
