Therapists in Feasterville Trevose, PA

Have you ever felt, "Why is this happening to me, I don't know who I am anymore!" Constant worrying, low mood, relational challenges, and life transitions can wear you down. Simultaneously, navigating multiple cultural contexts can challenge your values and world views, often creating dissonance about who you are. Within the mindful space of therapy, I can help you examine the nature of your worries, the frequent blues, your existing thinking style, responses to people and the world around you. Through collaboration, I can offer alternative ways of thinking and responding to challenges, and help develop an effective coping toolkit.

Currently booking for MARCH. I am honored and privileged to join my clients on their journeys. A successful therapy experience is two-sided: a high level of motivation and commitment on your part, along with my experience, expertise and support. My clients tend to be ready and willing to take deep dives inward to explore themselves. Examining perspectives can lead to deeper understanding and thus allow you to make the shifts you desire in all areas of your life, including your relationships. As life is a series of relationships, the relationship between therapist and client(s) is one that can be a springboard for growth.

In a world that can feel increasingly polarized, our conversations make a difference in how we go on together. Every interaction shapes the possibility for bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart. As we feel more understood, respected, and capable, we can turn towards one another with more compassion and capacity for connection. Whether you're seeking therapy for relationships or life transitions, I'm here to support your growth at your own pace.

As a part of therapy, I work with clients to understand themselves and their awareness of their internal world, which can strengthen their relationships with others. We are told a lot of things growing up about who we are. I like to challenge these expectations to explore what values authentically fit for you. What have you outgrown for the person you want to become? Often, we take for granted aspects about our experience, which can be resources of strength in overcoming hardships. I use an integrative approach that takes into account your values, cultural practices, and beliefs in how you view the world and sources of distresses.

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist who earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University. After completing my Master’s, I went on to attend a four year post-graduate program at The National Institute of the Psychotherapies, where I was certified in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe that with the right psychotherapy, one can face any life challenge head on and develop the insight and the skills to grow from them. I have an empathic approach that allows the space for my patients to look within and do the necessary work to improve their lives.

In my practice with adults, I address a range of issues from emotional stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. I also specialize in helping people cope with health conditions and chronic illness/pain. I incorporate a psycho-dynamic and relational analytic orientation to my work. I engage clients in a process of greater reflection and mindfulness and guide them to learn how to lower reactivity, stress and anxiety. I provide a holistic approach including reducing symptoms that limit quality of life and improving one's awareness of self-experiences that hinder greater personal freedom, growth and healing.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience providing assistance to clients with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma issues, eating disorders and postpartum depression. I work with children(5 and up), adolescents(ages 11 and up), young adults, couples, families and women. As a licensed clinical social worker I believe in focusing on all aspects of a person's well being; mental, physical, financial and social. I have a Masters degree in Social Work, Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist, and pursuing PhD in Strategic Leadership and Administrative Studies.

Licensed in both PA and DE, my approach is integrative, intersectional, developmental, and contextual with a belief in the value of connection and the power of possibility. I understand that we are heavily shaped by our relationships, family experiences, and positionality in the world with regard to race, culture, class, gender identity, sexuality, etc. My practice is relationship and sexual intimacy focused, and I've deepened my lens to include training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, in addition to past experience with PACT, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method, and IMAGO.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including private counseling, inpatient treatment, schools, and family centers. I have successfully partnered with many clients to better their lives by advancing their emotional well-being and by giving them the tools to develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. The goal is to promote self-awareness and self-regard, which lead to the emergence of one's best self.

I welcome someone who is ready to make life changes and would like assistance to take them from where they are to where they want to be. A willingness to work with a supportive, experienced (since 1979) social worker/therapist who uses dynamic and interactive approaches, knowing that I am the guide, and you are the one who knows yourself best and that healing comes from within. Relationship, self esteem, body image, career goals, family challenge, sexuality, spirituality, illness, loss, addiction, depression or anxiety related issues. I offered my first TEDx talk called Overcoming the Taboo of Touch, about platonic touch by consent.

I am the director of the Langhorne office of Council for Relationships. Throughout my 27 years of practice, I have assisted individuals, couples, and families overcome the emotional barriers that maybe hindering their lives as well as improve the quality of their important relationships. I enjoy working with a broad range of clients. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can openly express and explore their feelings. I offer strategies to help people accomplish their goals. Excellent clinical care is provided. My policy is to respond quickly because I realize taking the first step is often a difficult one.

Our lives are defined by our relationships. However, maintaining and nourishing these relationships can be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to help families, individuals, and couples seeking to rejuvenate and rebuild relationships at all stages, whether you're experiencing marital difficulties, tensions with parenting, or managing relationships with elderly parents or children who have moved out of the house. In therapy sessions, I use a lighthearted touch and maintain a calm, safe environment that not only makes difficult moments tolerable but also encourages you to be reflective and self-aware.

You're probably wondering how you got here. When your relationship started things seemed so good - but arguments, let downs, stress, and maybe just a gradual drifting apart has changed the relationship into something you no longer recognize. You want to feel more connected and confident in your relationship and you need straightforward support in the midst of complicated situation to help you do that. I have worked with hundreds of couples and using research backed message, a direct approach, and a touch of humor I can help you figure out what to do next, together.

Making sense of your anxieties, fears or depression can feel overwhelming. We all have the need to be connected and challenged so that we can grow into our best self. I believe that therapy should be hard but rewarding work that can be translated into actionable behavior outside of treatment. The cornerstone of making change is finding a therapist who promotes a sense of safety, compassion and respect to allow your true self to emerge and thrive. I have over 15 years of clinical practice experience in New York City and Philadelphia and value working with diverse individuals and families.

Being in private practice for 23 years as a psychotherapist/coach my areas of expertise include: pre/postpartum depression adjustment support, blended family adjustment, parenting support, co-dependency, panic/anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and depression. In addition to my areas of expertise; I have been a speaker, conducted groups and seminars on career/education, workplace stress, addictions, emotional/stress eating, postpartum depression, and relationships.

If you or a member of your family is struggling with change, stress, and anxiety as we navigate through these challenging times, I am here to support you! I have worked with individuals and families for the past 20 years within the fields of education and psychology. I have always been interested in understanding human behavior and development and how narratives are systemic and evolve overtime. I understand how stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on us emotionally and take a physical toll on our bodies and our relationships.

As an experience addictions specialist for over 15 years, my goal is to offer guidance to families and individuals who feel lost in a world of addiction. From life coaching, coping skill development, to sharing resources and providing feedback on other issues, (love addiction and substance abuse), I can help you find recovery, peace and serenity. I have recovered from my own addictions, and through coaching I would like impact others in aiding to help change their lives.

Stop the unhealthy relationship cycle, find new ways of getting your emotional needs met. I help individuals, who have struggled in their relationships, gain a better understanding of how the cycle of unhealthy relationships began. We explore how to create healthier, more fulfilling, emotional connections in a collaborative, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment. My clients, are often successful in life, but they also talk about how they are never happy or fulfilled in their current relationships. They talk about the difficult childhood that they had and often recognize the connection between the two.
