Hi I’m Kat. I have a M.Phil.Ed. and M.S.Ed. in Professional Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania. I also have my PA school counseling certification. I work with children ages 10+, adolescents, and young adults who are struggling with issues around
adoption
. You may be calling for yourself or for your child.
Adoption
can bring challenges including rejection sensitivity syndrome, abandonment issues, avoidant attachment issues, anxious attachment issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, and addiction. I also am mindful of issues related to identity that transracial adoptees may experience.

***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** The stress of the outside world can often create barriers to living a fulfilling life. Without healthy ways to cope and communicate, our connection to others can suffer and we can lose touch with ourselves, becoming anxious and discouraged. Home should be a place where we can renew ourselves and feel safe and accepted, but often it can become an additional source of stress that leaves us feeling alone and unsupported. You and your family deserve a way to step outside unhealthy patterns and authentically connect to those around you.

adoption

WELCOME TO LIVING A LIFE OF BALANCE All of us face struggles in our lives. We experience problems and difficulties sometimes on a daily basis and other times only occasionally. When we feel stuck we have a tendency to repeat negative or self-defeating patterns/behaviors. This repetition often causes us to become overly critical of ourselves. Our work together is designed to help you to understand the why and how so that you can make the changes you want in your life. Change is never easy; however it is so worth it!! You will be pleasantly surprised by how happy you have become.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

I also have experience with
adoption
and the wonderful impact this decision has on families.
I have been working with young students and their families for over 30 years. Throughout this time I have gained a great deal of insight into the significance the family plays in the development of each child. Today's families are often experiencing a great deal of stress. In many cases parents are caught between raising their children while caring for their parents. Communication is the essential glue that holds our families together. In my office I offer a warm and caring environment to foster family growth and healthy family dynamics.

Nell Bowers
Psychologist
Verified
My approach is very practical: I want each person to leave each session with at least one new understanding or way of looking at a issue and with at least one new tool for beginning to resolve that issue or situation. Most of us have the answers within us and can access them once we have some clarification, guidance and permission to do so. It must be working as most people come to me as a referral from other clients or from their physician. I am happy to answer questions so feel free to call.

Trish R Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.
Ariel Virk Doylestown Teen And Parent Therapy Center
MA
My clients span are all ages, teens, young adults and adults. Clients come to me because they are struggling with a symptom that is calling them to begin to examine their lives. My clients struggle with anxiety, depression, family conflict, disordered eating or difficulty allowing closeness in their relationships.
Harvey W. Ziff
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Reflecting back on 25 years of experience in practice as a licensed psychologist I am deeply appreciative of the trust placed in me by both current and former clients with whom I've worked, or who have referred their family or friends. I am told it is my easy-going, non-judgemental and comfortable style that helps my clients immediately sense my ability to connect with them and feel understood, supported and safe. While always professional, compassionate and sensitive, I believe my sense of humor also provides 'good medicine' and contributes to my ability to help others heal and grow.

I have also worked closely with young people who identify as LGBTQ+ and much of my research has focused on this population. I have run support groups for parents of TGN teens and for trans/nonbinary teens. I also have experience with adoptees and victims of sexual assault or trauma.
