Therapists in Chalfont, PA

Sadness, anger and anxiety are universal experiences; it's when we can't move through them that they begin to define our lives. Getting stuck in a cycle of negative thought and feeling keeps us from reaching our potential. It doesn’t have to feel "strange" sitting down and talking to someone about your life, your feelings and your problems. This Must Be The Place (A Life Counseling Experience) is a private therapy practice, built in the spirit of offering a casual, comfortable, non-clinical setting for people to develop a resource in gaining perspective on their lives, moods and relationships.

Hello!
