Therapists in Lawrence County, PA

Quote: "It is never too late to live Happily Ever After". The fact that you are ready to engage in counseling shows you believe in personal change. Regardless of what stage of change you are in, I welcome the opportunity to provide active and reflective listening to address your specific goals for counseling. Research indicates an individual's faith is and can be an important coping skill. It is my goal to provide a non-judgmental, caring and safe environment for you to share your story, explore your faith, identify your goals, and begin your journey to personal change.

Current openings for Saturday appointments in person. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, conflict, life transitions, behavior difficulties, parenting challenges, stress management, and relationship concerns, among other difficulties.

With over twenty-five years of experience, I believe that the issues we face can be dealt with by choosing how we view them. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and rational living therapy to help clients determine what they see as issues and how they want to manage them. I focus on helping clients minimize or eliminate problem behaviors and thoughts and increase positive coping skills, thinking skills and day to day management skills. I am a straight forward, conversational therapist with a dry sense of humor. My motivation is your improvement and your release from the areas where you are stuck.

Are you having a difficult time managing day-to-day stress? Do you have relationship problems that affect you and that you wish to heal? Do you want to gain better insight into yourself?

I am dedicated to supporting individuals and their journey towards self discovery, empowerment, and personal growth. My primary focus is assisting you in identifying and overcoming struggles related to confidence, body image, self esteem, and finding your place in the workforce. By fostering a safe and non judgmental environment, I aim to create a space where you can freely express your thoughts, fears, and aspirations.. Whether it's through guided exercise, reflective conversations, or skill building activities, my intention is to help you unlock you're full abilities and recognize your own self worth.

I address all issues from the perspective of a person's environment. We all exist in the context of a family, a community and a culture. In therapy we often find that there is nothing wrong with us, depression, anxiety, etc., are not innate dysfunctions but rather result from conflict that arises in our environment. I like to help individuals, couples and families learn about these environments to better navigate them as well as learn about themselves and what it means to be who they are in the context of their environment.

I believe everyone already has the capability within themselves to heal. My job is to help them access the tools to bring about hope and change. I provide a non-judgmental, safe environment for the individual to explore and process their needs while educating them on ways to cope and manage their identified area of concern.

I have been a licensed psychotherapist and marriage counselor for over 30 years. Conflicts can seem insurmountable. This is especially so when we lack insight into not only ourselves and our own childhood wounds, but also the developmental origins of our partner's behavior. My therapeutic work is based in the idea that quality of life is largely contingent upon a feeling of connectedness to others. Through thoughtful and compassionate understandings/insights, my goal is to help couples let go of resentments - the obstacles to intimacy - and develop deeper, safer bonds, and a more realistic appreciation of their valued partnerships.

Feeling stuck in a constant state of stress & anxiety, heart pounding, stomach clenching, and with a fear that at any moment you could lose control of some aspect of your life. Struggling with sleep, never feeling rested, mood on edge and snapping at those you love. The pain of not understanding what you are feeling & not being able to explain it to others increases feelings of loneliness. Looking for light in the darkness, the ability to walk in a room and not worry about what others are doing, to be able to close your eyes and get a truly restful night sleep, and to feel like you can fully breathe, Counseling can help.

My goal is to provide a warm and inviting space for my client to be heard and for their thoughts and feelings to be expressed freely. I am not focused on labels or a diagnosis, but rather on the person and meeting them where they are. I believe everyone is doing the best they can, and are seeking support to make changes they desire.

We often get advice like “Suck it up”, “Get over it already”, “It’s not that bad”. But, remember, you don’t have to suffer in silence or go it alone. Everyone experiences difficulties. But, sometimes life can feel overwhelming. We can be really hard on ourselves when we just can't get to feeling better. If you can relate maybe it's time to call for support.

I AM currently accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I work from a psychotherapeutic perspective grounded in humanistic and modern psychoanalytic practice. I work with individuals to explore their current suffering, symptoms, problems, and relationships and how these themes are related to earlier patterns of experience. My focus is on gaining a deep understanding of the individuals I work with that pays great respect to the person’s unique personality style, cultural differences, differences in sexual orientation and gender experience, and unique relationship patterns.

We are licensed psychotherapists who have been practicing for over 30 years. Our therapeutic work is based in the idea that quality of life is largely dependent upon a feeling of belonging or a sense of connectedness to others. Sometimes though, we feel unwanted, lacking value and self-worth. We can be profoundly uncertain of our own potential or where we stand in our relationships with others. We all grapple with stress, self-doubt and the challenges of finding meaning, purpose, and solving our ultimate existential concerns - "Who am I," and "Where am I headed?"
