Internet Addiction Therapists in Blue Bell, PA

The decision to seek treatment is often very difficult. I work to make the therapeutic environment comfortable, offering a non-judgmental arena to work on issues of addiction, sexual addiction and trauma. I work to meet the client where they are in the moment and help guide them on the journey to recovery, well-being and peace of mind

I am an addiction and trauma specialist with 15+ years of experience helping individuals, couples and families travel the road to recovery. I've worked as a sexual abuse case manager, drug and alcohol counselor, trauma group facilitator and military family consultant. I use an integrative approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to assist in the development of new, applicable coping skills, constructive processing and identification of concrete ways of managing after the therapeutic experience has ended. I hope that you'll allow me to help you and those most important to you journey towards wellness.

I focus on identification, awareness, healing, empowerment, and resolution of daily life struggles in a safe, supportive environment. I encourage use of verbal and non-verbal means of self expression as well as identification of strategies of self development and formulating healthy new perceptions and interventions to heal for positive change. My focus is working with adolescents with emotional and behavioral health needs and their families.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure." Having a helpful and supportive ear is something many people find they need at various transition points in their lives. Having a safe place to talk, in a warm and supportive environment, is crucial. The tool of our work is the relationship and, as research has shown, is the most important predictor of success in psychotherapy. I enjoy working with my patients as they seek to find their way to a richer and more fulfilling life.

Frustrated? Out-of-control eating ? Feeling lost after divorce or breakup of a relationship? You try over and over again and say to yourself, "This time it will be different". But, inevitably the diet or relationship fails and you are back where you started feeling alone, overwhelmed and sad. Maybe you are confused about how this could happen again. If you are fed up with having the same experience and want to take your life to optimal levels, now is the time to take care of YOU first.

Whether you are searching for yourself or a loved one, I understand that this is a difficult time for you and your family. I offer confidential help to the individual and the family affected by substance abuse/addiction and mental health issues. I have been helping individuals with addiction for over 20 years. Through compassionate counseling, interventions and case management, I provide a space to begin the journey of recovery. One of my specialties is working with families whose loved one is resistant to getting help. This is the first step. There is hope!

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families. I have extensive experience in improving the relationship between parent and child through enhanced familial communication. My intent is to enhance your child's level of motivation, increase academic achievement, increase their level of comfort within social environments, and strengthen relationships with friends and family. My intent is to empower children. I see children and parents as co-collaborators in treatment. Therapy offers new resources and can give children and families new skills and perspectives to improve the quality of their daily life and their relationships.

I have worked with persons throughout the lifespan. Most recently, I consulted at skilled nursing homes and assisted care facilities with a focus on illness and end of life challenges. I enjoy working with young adults who are just finding their way in this world and navigating new relationships and responsibilities. I accept clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, stress, identity development, assertiveness, anger management, and relationship challenges for those who are heterosexual, LGBTQ, caregivers, and parents.
