Anthem Therapists in Kennett Square, PA

Life is too short to be living a life that 'does not work'. Family of origin patterns often interfere with successful relationships; using Imago therapy we can uncover and heal emotional patterns that prevent marriages from thriving. The stresses of life can be overwhelming especially if one is not in a good relationship with oneself - are you your own best friend? Sometimes anxiety or depression or anger get in the way of a satisfactory life; it doesn't have to be that way and I can help you change what needs to be changed.

Welcome. I am a licensed psychologist with over thirty years of having the privilege of helping others. I can offer you a goal-oriented, compassionate, and non-judgmental voice, as you seek relief from your distress. I work with a wide range of people and have a particular interest in couples counseling; pre-marital through divorce.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience, it is my passion to assist individuals and couples in their quest for renewed hope amid life’s troubles. I believe that healthy relationships are key in this journey and I count it a privilege to come along side of my clients while they work through their concerns.

Alane believes in leading with unconditional positive regard, curiosity, and respect. She is informed by psychodynamic theories and integrates experiential, EMDR, and somatic techniques as additional options beyond cognitive behavior therapy in her collaboration with clients. Alane considers it an honor to help individuals confidently move through times of transition, loss, relationship conflict, and life challenges they may find difficult to resolve on their own.

I have been in practice thirty years. I see psychotherapy as a process of increasing self awareness, developing a more realistic and tolerant self esteem, and identifying and working through losses, disappointments and relational conflicts. This process enables reduction in pain, greater self acceptance, and comfort in relationships and family. This process occurs in a collaborative effort between you the client, and myself. The safe environment of the office allows for the full expression and understanding of what you experience, think, and feel. Our work together enables symptom relief, greater personal understanding, growth, responsibility and contentment.

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.

A practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.I blend conventional and alternatives approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals. I provide a safe environment, in which people can express themself openly.

Anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, infertility, and burnout can be very overwhelming. My approach to treating these concerns is relational, as I try to provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and compassionate space for us to work together. We will identify what factors contribute to these problems and figure out how to reduce your symptoms so that you can move forward and have a happier and more fulfilling life.

The counseling process is a collaborative experience. A main goal is to improve overall functioning and quality of life. I'll work with you to regain that positive outlook and make life changing strides. I have extensive experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and couples. I look forward to assisting you on this journey.

My focus is with teens and adults who have experienced trauma such as domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, abandonment, grief/loss, PTSD, as well as those who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, mood disorders, and codependency. I also work with clients seeking guidance as they make major life transitions. I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced homelessness and have been in the foster care system. With more than 25 years of experience, I will help you identify the root causes of issues, and to develop effective strategies to take charge and have the life you deserve.
