Anxiety Therapists in Flourtown, PA

It's a hard decision to start therapy. Committing to yourself is a big deal particularly when time feels so limited by life's demands. At times we find ourselves so stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and/or anxious. It's not easy to consider taking time out for ourselves. If you are ready for therapy, whether it be a life transition, stress, relationship issues, and/or anxiety ; consider an approach that evaluates all aspects of your life. Collaborating together, I offer comprehensive therapy with years of experience and fresh evidence based preservatives.

I have decades of experience helping individuals. I see therapy as an opportunity to take the time to care for yourself, to find new ways of coping and to grow out of whatever place you may feel stuck in. I have felt privileged over the years to help many people with this journey.

I have worked as a Clinical Social Worker in a variety of settings for thirty years since receiving a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have been employed as a therapist in private practice for the past fifteen years. I treat a diverse client population of adults, adolescents, couples and families. I see individuals aged sixteen and up with phase of life issues, such as adjustment to young adulthood. I treat depression and other mood disorders, anxiety and panic disorders and relational problems.

I specialize in helping couples and individuals develop "connection" in their marriages and relationships. To illustrate, your partner seems "distant" lately- so you seek reassurance. Instead of providing comfort, he or she "pulls away" in anticipation of triggering an argument. In turn, your insecurity grows yet bigger. Over time, the more one mate seeks "closeness," the more the other "distances." Partners become "stuck" in painful "circles" such as "Pursue-Withdraw." Both are hurt by each others "criticism" or "coldness"- and unintentionally trigger their mates' invisible "raw spots." Even if identified, "vulnerabilities" are difficult to discuss constructively without a "translator" (therapist).

If you are a Highly Sensitive Person, you may struggle with self-doubt, overwhelm, and perfectionism. Your gifts of empathy, intuition, creativity, and depth may be overshadowed by these challenges. Working together, you'll deepen understanding and respect for how you're wired while gaining strategies to navigate relationships and the world with greater ease. Anxiety , depression, and reactions in the present may also signal unresolved pain from the past. As a Certified IFS Therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, we will focus on healing past trauma and easing inner conflict, so you can enjoy life today.

Is it difficult for you to feel present or manage stress? Do you seek more balance in your life? I serve individuals & couples who struggle with anxiety , caretaking, grief/loss, and complex trauma. Together we can explore how these challenges have impacted your life, and through a nervous-system lens cultivate more supportive ways of regulating through emotional uncertainty, as well as empower your voice in the process of healing.

As a licensed psychologist, board certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical psychotherapist, I have been in private practice for 30 years in center city Philadelphia and Chestnut Hill,Pa. I am primarily Jungian, feminist, and cognitive/behavioral in orientation and use a blend of whatever suits the person and situation. My specialties include relationships, depression and anxiety / panic , self-esteem. trauma, and life transitions. I am widely published, formerly on staff at the Belmont Center and at Hahnemann and Temple Universities.The goal is to diminish negative symptoms and patterns, facilitate individuation, find your path and personal meaning in life, at work and in relationships.

Concerns related to sex and intimacy are some of the most sensitive and personal. Experiencing sexual concerns, such as low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, or difficulty with orgasm no longer has to be secretive or embarrassing. Finding a therapist who is open, supportive, and has effective tools is imperative on the journey to satisfaction and pleasure. Using a Cognitive Behavioral & collaborative approach, I work with individuals or couples to help them further understand the concerns that effect them, their relationships, & their sexual functioning.

I believe that therapy should be as fun, collaborative, and easily accessible as possible. I offer a warm, nurturing environment for youth ages 2-18 and their families. Utilizing mindfulness, group therapy, talk therapy, expressive arts, and play-based modalities, I provide a playful space to harness creativity and imagination in the service of growth and healing. I take a strengths-based approach and build on what is going right for your child and your family. I have worked with families from a variety of backgrounds in home, school, and outpatient settings and am committed to advancing equity and social justice.

I have over 40 years in the practice of Clinical Psychology, sex therapy, marital and family therapy. I work with both adolescents and adults on issues such as depression and anxiety , marital and relationship problems, loss and grieving, chronic illnesses, phase of life issues, addictions, gender and sexual identity issues, post traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative disorders. After leaving Penn State, I completed a Postdoctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology and went on to serve as Assistant Director of an addictions treatment program while completing a six year tenure as an Associate in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, afraid, hopeless or stuck? I provide caring, supportive psychotherapy for adults, couples and adolescents age 14 and up. I teach many skills to improve coping, communication and behavior. I help my clients to manage depression, anxiety , stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, mood swings, grief, trauma and anger.

It's hard navigating what’s happening in the world. You want the best possible education and experiences for your child, and that could mean putting them in situations that expose them to racism and classism early on. Being the only or one of few is hard! The reality is that this can be confusing for your child and they often lack the tools to handle these situations. The impact on their day to day images of themselves is massive. Their once bright eyes are a little dimmer. Their trust in peers and adults lessens. Your once confident child or teen is now self-conscious, anxious, and struggles to meet unfair standards.

I work with couples and families struggling with anything from anxiety and depression to repairing relationships and grief. I have extensive training in trauma and LGBTQA+ issues. My practice aims at helping clients find a better quality of life and gain the tools they need to honor their past, thrive in their present, and look forward to their future.

The transition from childhood to adulthood is often tough. We have big questions —about identity, relationships, and what we want for our lives—and few easy answers. When we experience grief or trauma, life is even harder. The pandemic suddenly disrupted school, routines, and relationships. We may still feel the impact of our losses. Anxiety and depression can surface in response to all these stressors. My role as your therapist is to create a safe and affirming space where you can be heard, learn practical tools to manage the challenges you are facing, and ultimately find your own solutions.

As an LPC, I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families who are experiencing difficult life transitions, depression, trauma, and general anxiety . I am trained in a trauma informed approach, which allows me to gain a deeper insight when identifying the negative patterns that are keeping you from reaching your fullest potential.

I strive to create a safe, open, and warm atmosphere where individuals can explore their primary interests, develop goals and identify strengths. Using a variety of approaches including mindfulness, person-centered, strengths based, cognitive behavioral therapy, and structural therapy techniques we work towards positive mental well-being. I am passionate about helping individuals, families, and relationships of any kind to reconnect and view the counseling process as an alliance between the client and therapist. I consider the client as the experts of their lives and I am here as a guide to help navigate through the process.
