Therapists in Cresco, PA

In this ever-changing time of "do and be more," we face daily life stressors that challenge our mental wellness. These challenges can negatively impact our significant relationships, our children and our work/school performance. To seek the help of a therapist is a very personal decision. It may be one of the most important decisions you make. It may facilitate first steps towards changing and regaining control of your life. In 2008, I founded Aspire Counseling and Consulting (please view our WEBSITE) with the mission to inspire clients to reach their fullest potential within their communities, relationships, workplaces and schools.

I appreciate the courage it takes to seek help. As your therapist I will strive to have your therapeutic journey feel respectful, safe, and collaborative.

As a male therapist in the Stroudsburg and adjacent communities, I assist individuals with addressing the many challenges that persist in our environment, and that promote unexpected, overwhelming stress. I focus particularly on human behavior and the elements that we can control, to the extent that it allows the individual in need to hopefully reap the benefits of living a rewarding and fulfilling life. Historically, men are very resistant toward the counseling experience. I allay their anxiety by providing a friendly, non-judgmental setting for candid dialogue during the process. My practice is devoted to improving social relationships through healthy interventions at all times.

I am a board certified, licensed professional counselor as well as a certified anger management specialist and a certified secondary school counselor. I have worked in the mental health profession for over 10 years. As a therapist I offer individual, couples, and family therapy in the areas of anxiety and mood issues, relationship and conflict resolution, stress and anger management, behavioral disorders, and more. My experience in a school setting offers a unique perspective in working with adolescents and young adults. I have a particular interest working with teenage and adult populations as well as the elderly and the distinctive challenges they face.

What sets the identity of my sessions is their structure and strategy. While I believe in having client centered treatment, I've often felt as though the therapist/client relationship requires strategy and tangible advancement that can be noted by the client. What this means is that using psycho education to identify thought or behavior patterns is often used as well as guided conversations to further explore the nature of distressed mental health symptoms. My previous experience includes: Adult counseling with a focus on Anxiety based disorders, Family counseling, Reunification counseling, Drug/Alcohol counseling

Together we can explore your thinking and work toward a change that will empower and motivate a healthy, balanced life. I truly believe everyone deserves my respect without judgment.

Does negative self-talk inhibit you from opportunities that could potentially enrich your life? Whether it be going for a promotion at work or missing out on fulfilling relationships, what we tell ourselves can either hinder or help us. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to engender a sense of empowerment. In a world where matters feel increasingly out of our control, it is helpful to acknowledge what we can control. My Person-Centered approach creates a non-judgmental environment where we can explore difficult topics.

Life can become overwhelming, sometimes we forget it is a work in progress. The last few years have been a wild ride! Detours can happen making it easy to forget that the detours may be necessary to help us move forward. I enjoy having the privilege of helping individuals reach their full potential by helping to recognize their strengths through therapeutic intervention, self care, identifying coping strategies and learning to stay in the moment. The work can be difficult but that does not mean there may not be laughter, tears and progress.

I see the possibility within ourselves, helping clients unlock their limitless potential. Creating a working relationship through unconditional positive regard, compassionate listening, and mutual trust creates a safe environment, the first step towards promoting self-compassion and freeing ourselves of internalized impasses. Embracing our potential is a journey shaped through therapeutic reflective dialogues, skill acquisition, and learning to become fully present. I help clients challenge limiting self-beliefs, replacing those beliefs with empowering messages aimed at creating balance, happiness, and authentic well-being.

I am rooted in an approach that predominantly pulls from existential-humanistic and psychodynamic psychologies. I believe that the client is the expert of their experience, and that their experience within the present can be connected to their experience of the past – creating and maintaining particular dynamics between the self and others. I also use the therapeutic relationship to inform the work – providing for corrective emotional experiences and empowering my clients to strive for the embodiment of an authentic self.

As a counselor, I have always been aware of the courage and openness a client needs to be able to seek support and engage in counseling services. I also understand how difficult it is to make therapeutic changes in one's life. I am humbled to be privileged to learn about a client's intimate struggles, and I take the depth of that relationship of respect, privacy, boundaries, and expectations very seriously. My ideal client is anyone open to counseling, receiving feedback, and willing to work together on developing action steps towards change and personal growth.
