Self Esteem Therapists in Downingtown, PA

Are you a teen or young adult struggling to navigate social pressures and responsibilities? A parent of a struggling teen? I help create self-esteem and establish proper perspectives when young adults feel overwhelmed. A full-time school counselor, Colin Smith has been working with adolescents both in schools and in outpatient therapy for nearly twenty years. Working in both public and approved private schools as well as community mental health has provided Colin with various learning opportunities. Areas of experience include individuals with anxiety, depression, self-esteem deficits, autism, and conduct disorders.

I have always been a natural listener who loves to sit alongside others who are hurting. I am passionate about giving people a safe space to share their voice and be heard. I have experience working with individuals struggling with a variety of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, self-worth/self-esteem issues, relational issues, spiritual issues, sexuality and gender identity concerns, non-suicidal self-injury, trauma, eating disorders, and chronic illness.

The teenage years are the most vulnerable, exciting, and growing years of a young person’s life. Self discovery can often yield low self esteem, independence can easily shift to rebellion, and a slow maturation process often creates impulsive decision making. And when a parent’s warnings and worries don’t seem to have an impact on the teenager’s course, or when it feels too heavy to carry alone, it’s helpful to have another guiding force to help. Through counseling, an adolescent can feel understood, begin to understand themselves, and learn to understand and accept their role in the family and society.

Whether you are interested in healing hurts from long ago or simply dissatisfied with the current state of life, therapy can help you learn to embrace, with joy and gratitude, the messiness of the human experience. I help clients cultivate the tools they need to live a more confident life, take risks, and find the wisdom and sweetness in painful experiences. Being a therapist is a privilege, and I am very grateful to be able to provide a nonjudgemental space and connect with others in such a meaningful way.

Now Accepting New Clients! Hi, I'm Angela and I am a Marriage and Family therapist who works with couples and individuals struggling with self esteem, relationship issues, and understanding themselves and their emotions. You are more than what your struggles are, so I want to emphasize the importance of knowing you as an individual and how all of your relationships, responsibilities, and life experiences impact and shape who you are and how you interact with the world around you. I believe that building and creating meaningful and healthy relationships with ourselves and others has the power to help us live fulfilling lives.

You who are highly sensitive and feel a lot, welcome! You'll explore more deeply with me than in traditional talk therapy. You’ve likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to really “get” people from many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body and emotions, and gently access the root of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I focus on meeting each person where they are and supporting them in meeting their treatment goals. I strive to empower folks to make the changes they want to see. I enjoy working with folks that have co-occurring mental health and disordered eating, members of the LGBTQ community, individuals who are struggling with life transitions, or who are experiencing grief and loss, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, binge eating, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or are in recovery from substance use.

Do you feel like you are not enough? Have you lost your identity? Do you feel crazy in your current relationship or with your family? Emotional/Psychological/Narcissistic and other types of abuse can take a huge toll on an individual's self esteem and ability to cope.

Thank you for visiting my psychology today page! My philosophy is that clients are the experts on their own lives, and sometimes we all need guidance and support to achieve what we want to achieve. I base my approach on each individual client but primarily use a person centered approach along with teaching many coping skills from the DBT modality. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, including young children. I have also worked with a variety of different diagnoses and can help clients with a variety of issues. Included in this would be anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self esteem, and relationship issues.

I believe that relationships deeply shape our experiences and how we cope with difficult times. Even when working with individuals, therapy sessions are often focused around gaining a better understanding of how one's relationships are working positively to support them or to define areas where changes are needed. As a therapist, I am honored to collaborate with clients in creating their own goals and to witness the healing process. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and families to address issues such as depression, anxiety, family stress, self-esteem, parent-child conflict and coping with major life transitions.

As a clinician who specializes in relationship issues and self esteem, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that past traumas play-out in our adult lives.

Now accepting clients for individual and group therapy! Whether you are looking to process the past, change the present, or prepare for the future, I would be honored to help you on your journey. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults for over 15 years, focussing on reducing anxiety, building self esteem, and finding motivation to build the life you deserve.

There are times we can become stuck in life's challenges. We find ourselves discouraged knowing how we would like things to be or how we would like to feel but find ourselves unable to navigate the best course. I enjoy helping clients navigate such challenges and develop a greater understanding of themselves while focusing on goals.

I believe that warmth, understanding and compassion are the key to any successful and supportive therapeutic relationship and these qualities are the foundation of my practice. I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples and families for a number of years in a variety of settings and one thing has always been the same; I learn something new from each and every client and the relationship that is built through the course of treatment is where the healing is created. I tailor my approach based on the needs of my clients and collaborate with them to identify their goals.

I enjoy working with young adults into their 30s and beyond who are struggling with any level of anxiety or depression. As our world attempts to simplify through technology and continues to change, it brings with it a changing culture and way of life that is not always helpful for our mental health. Many of us tend to put the world on our shoulders, but forget to care for ourselves. The pressure to "be successful" and fit society's expectations and timelines is a lot to carry. Rather than just managing this anxiety, we can figure out what goals and values are truly your own.

I believe that improving our interpersonal relationships, and as well as understanding recurring themes in our lives, are imperative for a better understanding, acceptance, respect, compassion, and love for ourselves. I'm able to see clients virtually in PA, DE, NJ, and FL.
