Therapists in Collegeville, PA

I believe that mental health and one's journey towards wellness is something that should be celebrated! Viewing oneself as the sum total of what you are not or what you cannot do, simply fosters the idea that mental health is something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. When, in actuality, the ability to recognize a need for change and to actively seek support is an act of courage that one should be proud of. Life, no matter at what age or stage of development, has a way of wearing us down. And although we as human beings are capable of resilience, I recognize that the difficult part is often having the confidence to overcome.

If you are willing to work, your life can change. There is hope. I have worked with people on a variety of issues: depression, anxiety, trauma, cancer, panic, grief and other issues. I provide in home services for those clients diagnosed with cancer who live in a 5-mile radius of my office in Collegeville. I also offer sessions through SimplePractice which is a HIPPA compliant website for doctors.

As an independent in-network provider of both mental health and substance abuse treatment, we can provide the optimal setting for individuals exploring their treatment needs. If you’re unsure what level of care is best, or what options exist, we welcome you to contact us. In many cases, persons receiving assessments at ETHOS are found to require a different level of care than we provide. To that point, we have built a vast yet highly selective network of outpatient therapists, detox centers, inpatient residential programs, private practice agencies, and sober living communities that we will refer to when appropriate. Our mission always has and always will be to get people into the most appropriate level of care by the best providers in the field.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Whether it's transitions in family dynamics, unresolved trauma, relationship issues or the stressors of life events, you should not feel you are an island in your own life. Challenges are to be expected, getting help for these challenges is a choice. I have been both a Middle and Elementary School Counselor for 32 years combined. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Custody Evaluator. I believe my passion and experience in working with children, families, coworkers along with individuals facing life transitions give me the skill set to help clients navigate toward positive, healthy change.

Are you OK? So many of us are experiencing anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Some of us feel stuck in our careers or lost in destructive patterns in our relationships. Perhaps you’re still grieving a lost loved one and feeling as though the hole in your heart will never heal – or maybe some trauma in your past has you trapped in a cycle of unwanted or unhealthy thoughts or behaviors. There is hope! We were designed to heal, and healing often takes place within safe relationships and connections with others. Therapy provides that safe relationship where real change can occur.

Are you depressed, anxious, or having conflicts in your relationships.? I have over 20 years experience in helping clients lessen their depression, reduce their anxiety, and resolve conflicts in their personal relationships with their significant others.

I provide a cognitive/behavioral approach to therapy, offerring direction and feedback as needed. I provide individual and couples counseling, having daytime and evening hours available.

Some people think that seeking psychological support or help indicates a weakness in character. In truth, it takes much courage to seek help! It is completely normal to seek help in our life's journey as we may face unexpected obstacles, challenges, and traumatic experiences. When we are faced with such experiences, we may feel stuck, frustrated, exhausted, and discouraged. In our work together, I strive to listen empathically, be attuned to your emotions, and provide encouragement to life's challenges. At opportune moments, I may provide psychoeducation and research findings to complement the counseling process.

Parents often have questions about their child's school performance that can be best answered by an assessment of their abilities, achievement, learning styles, attention and organization skills. Whether there is a need to modify their current school program, or decide if they would benefit from a different learning setting altogether, I offer 35 years of experience evaluating and counseling elementary through college-age students. I strive to have students feel relaxed and successful during the process and convey results in user-friendly language to help parents best understand their child's learning attributes and how to provide for growth.

As both licensed Christian therapists and marital partners, we understand the challenges of a romantic relationship. We offer wrap around care for our couples in order to set them up for success. Partners meet with us both together for couples sessions. Independently, husbands meet with Mike, and wives meet with Kim for individual sessions optimized for relationship growth. This is a highly effective format typically reserved for intensive inpatient couples care at an affordable cost. We find it produces faster progress as compared to traditional couples counseling by one clinician.

You are deserving of peace and happiness. Often times life has a way of throwing us challenges that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. These challenges can make us feel alone, stressed, and unsupported. These feelings tend to stay with us even when we are separated from the challenge itself and leak into other aspects of our life. This then prevents us from focusing on other important life events and the challenges we face may become all-consuming. This can feel as though you are not present and are missing out on the simple joy’s life can bring. You are not alone.

Kristen Czech specializes in treating individuals, couples, and families healing from complex trauma and eating disorders. Anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, and other symptoms naturally emerge in response to these stressors. Together, we will address them all. I am dedicated to seeing and treating each person as an individual, while understanding their systems (family, work, school, community, etc.) and how they interact. Imagine a life led by your truest self, evolved from the confines of your story, and focused on the life YOU want to live individually and relationally. Healing is possible.

I view therapy as a collaborative approach between myself and my clients. I believe in creating a non-judgmental and safe environment in which my clients can tell their story and explore the issues that brought them into therapy. My approach is nurturing and compassionate, and I strive to make my clients feel understood. I also believe in building a strong and trusting therapeutic partnership that supports my clients in achieving their goals and full potential. My practice focuses on helping individuals with life transitions, depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, grief and loss and family issues.

We are who we are for a lot of reasons, maybe we will never know most of them. But even if we can't choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there." This quote has always resonated with me as a clinician; there are many aspects of our lives, our stories, our families, and our circumstances that we may not have chosen and may not be able to change. However, there ARE ways to process these very important aspects of our lives. Therapy is a wonderful and fulfilling way to do just that. I provide services for life transitions, anxiety, depression, marital and premarital therapy, and other mental health concerns.

It is my belief that brain function is clinically relevant when discussing mental health, and am prepared to discuss hypotheses about the biological aspects of mental illness. Along with this, am prepared to use a variety of methods and styles in therapy. I tend to think therapy in parallel with a tailor, with a focus on the client and individually tailor different treatment modalities to fit their need. I have extensive experience with mental health disorders, addiction, and dual diagnosis/co-occuring.

Therapy is proven to be effective when the therapeutic relationship is built on trust and authenticity, when there is motivation and commitment for change, and when evidenced-based therapeutic practices are utilized. That said, the results of therapy are heavily reliant on the equally hard work of both the client and the therapist. I can confidently say I take pride in the hard work I put in to each of my clients’ therapy, so I expect my clients to put the hard work in as well.
