Career Counseling Therapists in Exton, PA

My style as a therapist is characterized by warmth, honesty, and a non-judgmental, open approach. I strive to help patients understand the nature of their problems and create solutions that can be brought about in a relatively short period of time. I use a range of interventions, including humanistic, existential and psychodynamic approaches. I encourage clients to consider their strengths, take an active role in psychotherapy, and practice positive change in their lives.

As a licensed psychologist, I have had extensive experience assisting different types of people confronting numerous issues. I understand the process of personal growth and know that people possess a remarkable ability to change. Since a sound therapeutic relationship is essential for success, clients must experience safety and trust. Therefore, I use an integrative approach which is engaged, collaborative and individualizes treatment for each client. Clients are supported and encouraged to take an active role in the therapeutic process, build upon their strengths, establish new learnings and implement genuine changes in their lives.

Though it can seem impossible at times, we are all capable of change with a little help. Therapy provides us with a safe space to vent and heal recent wounds, and encourages personal growth through self awareness and understanding others. I work primarily with adults and teens over 14 years of age who are struggling with issues such as mood disorders, eating disorders, interpersonal relationship struggles, performance anxiety, and adjustment to recent life changes.

Change begins with one step. I look forward to partnering with you, so you're not alone on the journey towards growth. When you are ready, we will work together at your pace, nurturing growth with awareness, insight & skills, while learning to embrace & integrate your unique experiences as valuable pieces of the larger whole. As your awareness opens, your view becomes broader & clearer, helping to shift your perspective. In 'aha' moments, crucial understandings can be life changing, helping to clear a path forward with what's been in the way, keeping you stuck from momentum towards wellness, acceptance and improved relationships.

I am not practicing psychotherapy at this time. My practice is limited to only psychological evaluations. I am a Licensed Psychologist with 23 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluations. My expertise is in the psychological assessment of children (especially toddlers at 2-4 years old) for Autism and other Developmental Delays. I am a former Naval Officer. In my practice, I also provide long-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for various concerns. I am a Clinical Fellow with the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society with Board Certification.

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.

Hey there! My name is Molly. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for making progress in therapy and that’s why I strive to be the relatable therapist that you're comfortable spilling your guts to. I have experience working with many populations in various settings such as outpatient counseling, hospitals and in the emergency room where I provide assessments, level of care determinations and referrals to patients who present with acute psychiatric and substance abuse disorders.

If you are struggling with a protracted rehabilitation, whether from orthopedic issues, brain injury, stroke, movement problems, etc., or the effects of a chronic illness, we can assist you in processing the changes you have experienced, and facilitating your path to your goals of emotional well-being. If you are dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, etc.; cognitive issues, ADHD, insomnia, or learning problems; or sport, work or school performance struggles, we can empower you with effective evidence-based strategies and authentic heart-felt emotional support.

My speciality is in working with people who either have been diagnosed, or suspect that they may have some traits of, personality disorders, as well as individuals who may have experienced long term relationships or victimization by others who seem to have narcissistic, borderline, or antisocial traits. I help people who have either of these two experiences learn to accept and love themselves, and to help break down long standing patterns to make lasting change.
