Therapists in Bryn Mawr, PA

It is my belief that everyone has suffered from a mood disturbance at one time in their life. What makes for different diagnosis is the intensity of the mood change and the duration. I believe we fuel our mood by our own cognitions and unhealthy habits and coping skills. My style is extremely interactive and direct, insuring results early on in the treatment process. When possible, I try treatment without medications, however there are chemical imbalances which must be treated via a Psychiatrist (for medications) and a psychotherapist for the psychoeducational piece,(talk therapy).I maintain relationships with area psychiatrists.

I specialize in maternal mental health, supporting women struggling with infertility, and/or perinatal loss, and depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Fertility issues and/or miscarriages can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, and stressed, yet isolated, and in need of someone to talk to. Support persons often do not know how to comfort a grieving mother after a pregnancy loss and unintentionally pressure the mother to move on. Psychotherapy can help to grieve the loss of a pregnancy within a supportive environment.

I am a board-certified neuropsychologist with specialized training in understanding how neurological, developmental, and medical conditions affect children, teens', and young adults', and their families. I work with families to understand their concerns and use evidence-based approaches to evaluate the dynamic relationship between the brain, and an individual’s thoughts, behavior, learning, emotions, culture, and environment. Armed with this information, I work with families and others (teachers, doctors) to identify specific next steps. The goal is greater joy, fulfillment, purpose, satisfaction, and connectedness.

In my experience, all of us will ultimately experience problems that seem to overwhelm our normal abilities to cope. We come to therapy because we don't want to burden those around us and yet we have a need to be heard, validated and understood. We all ask ourselves what is needed to get through the storms of life and how to keep from repeating negative patterns. My approach to counseling can help restore the balance and emotional well being that sometimes gets lost.

Let’s be honest, life is messy! Relationships are complicated, things keep changing, & it’s not easy to handle all of life’s challenges. When we are overwhelmed by our unmet goals and struggling with our mental health it is difficult to see what we are capable of. I am passionate about helping clients identify and utilize their inner strengths in order to make the changes for a happier, healthier life. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client and couple. I use a collaborative approach with my clients to create a directive, but warm and safe environment.

When you met your partner you likely didn't notice them across the room and say — "That looks like someone I could solve problems with." What attracts us to people initially usually has little to do with the factors that make conflict resolution possible — let alone productive and connective. Nobody teaches us how to do conflict well. It’s not a class in high school (although it absolutely should be). We aren’t born with these tools. In fact, some of our biology actively works against us here because our nervous system is wired to detect threat.

Through play and other expressive therapies, children are able to express themselves safely and work out what is troubling them. Play is the language of children and the toys become their words. Parents are given the tools to understand what their children are communicating to them and we work as a team to strengthen the family system and decrease power struggles and stressors in the home. Main Line Play Therapy: Expressive Therapy Center now offers dance/movement, music, & play therapy,

Is it difficult to confront issues with your child, adolescent, college student or partner because anger and frustration end the interaction before anything is accomplished? Do you "walk on tiptoes" rather than start a fight? Are you worried about your teen's moodiness and 'addiction' to technology? I am a clinical psychologist with many years of experience as an individual (adult / child) and family therapist. Communication and resolution of difficult issues is the focus of treatment. Therapy concentrates on solving problems and setting goals. I firmly believe that the emotional safety provided by the therapist sets the foundation for successful work.

I believe that mental health reflects a balance between an individual's emotional functioning and his/her family, friends and community. I support patients in their personal awareness and integration of the mind, body and spirit. I have extensive clinical experience with individuals and families addressing concerns such as: Anxiety, Autistic Spectrum, Attention Deficit Disorders, Bi-Polar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Learning Differences, Oppositional/Defiant Behaviors, Personality Disorders, Postpartum Depression and Psychological responses to life changes. I offer additional expertise in bi-cultural/racial issues, chronic illness, co-parenting, LGBT community, interfaith marriage and sibling rivalry.

Hello! My name is Michaela. I understand therapy as a loving container to voice our innermost thoughts, feelings and experiences and the therapeutic relationship as a powerful agent of change. My background in family therapy helps to support individuals and couples seeking to make change in their lives. I feel privileged to work with parents of young children who wish to lean into their roles as both compassionate caregivers and boundary spanners. Between the parenting intention to share a kind correction and the real time behavior of a critical or triggered reaction, there is often traumatic material. EMDR can help with that.

I am a relationship therapist and life coach. My typical clients: You are having trouble with the difficult people in your life. You are emotionaly exhausted and miserable from the dynamics and drama, with no resoution. OR: You let others manipulate you. To please them you let your own needs be pushed aside to cater to the needs of others. You feel depleted, empty. OR: Your relationship with your partner is crumbling. The problems you had with previous mates keep re-appearing, now with this current one. You feel you don't deserve this and it's not your fault.

Hello! I am a queer therapist who primarily works within the LGTBQIA+ community. Coming to terms with who you are in a world that wants to reject everything around you is a wildly difficult experience. My goal is to help you become the person you want to be. Having said that, I also work with anyone who is feeling othered by the world around us. It has always been oppressive living as a minority in the U.S., but it has recently gotten that much harder. I want nothing more for you, then to be able to lean into what it means to be you. Everyone has a thing (or a lot of things) that stop you from becoming who you are.
