Therapists in Luzerne, PA

I have worked to create an integrated, evidence-based, and holistic group practice where my vision of the ideal environment for growth can unfold. The associates in the practice have diverse backgrounds, interests, and training. No matter what problem or difficulty with which you present, someone in our group can assist you. We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.

As a young adult I sought out counseling to help me navigate my life's issues. It felt most beneficial when a therapist, by listening and understanding me, in a nonjudgmental, supportive and educational way, seemed to meet me where I was at both emotionally and mentally- giving me hope, the tools, the time and the motivation I needed to heal.These healing experiences gave me the desire to help others. Thus following their positive examples, I have approached everyone's treatment on an individual basis- knowing everyone is different emotionally and mentally, and are coming from different life experiences.

In order for effective change to happen in psychotherapy there has to be a good alliance between therapist and client. I seek to provide a sense of safety and understanding so that issues can be explored, overcome or reconciled. I work with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress related illness, anger management problems and relationship issues. My intention is to help people improve their overall health, enhance their well being, recognize their inherent strengths and feel more fulfilled.

I have been treating marital issues and anger issues in Ardmore since 1983. In the three decades I have been treating clients I have always kept abreast of the very latest and most effective methods for helping my clients. Is the joy in your relationship turning into pain, I'll quickly get to the heart of the issue and give you powerful tools to save your relationship. Or if you have anger issues, I will teach you skills to help you communicate without anger so that you can lead a more peaceful life at home and at work.

Accepting New Clients as of May 2024 — Life can be challenging and it is our job to provide you with the tools to cope well with whatever difficulties/demands life may present to you. At Evergreen Counseling & Wellness, we tailor therapy to your needs and strengths to help you achieve realistic goals. We want you to feel you can handle whatever is thrown your way. We believe that establishing a healthy, supportive therapeutic relationship & providing an environment where you feel safe and able to openly express yourself without feeling judged is critical to heal and grow.

Life transitions can be hard. Sometimes you don’t have the words to describe your thoughts or feelings, and that can leave you feeling disconnected or misunderstood. I believe you have the power to grow and live your best life; support helps us reflect and stay resilient through the challenges along the way. I offer a warm and supportive environment for clients to safely share their thoughts and feelings. My passion as a therapist is to help you find and believe in your own voice, get unstuck, and find the confidence to seize your most important life goals and experiences.

Health and healing are journeys. We are always honored when clients ask us along on their journey towards recovery from the trauma or devastation robbing them of the ability to trust themselves or others. If you seek improvements, in any area of your life, let's work together to identify your passions and possibilities, map and monitor your progress, and manage the dynamics that keep you stuck. You, too, can heal from trauma and addictions, manage difficult relationships (see our website for approach to couples & pre-marital counseling), surmount career set-backs & improve your self-esteem with insight and guidance.

Change can be difficult. At times, not changing can be harder. Deciding to explore therapy is a wonderful first step. I can help you set and accomplish goals to determine how to move from that difficult place, to where you want to be.

I work for The Center For Growth, treating everything from mental health to sex and relationship issues. I can help you manage thing like anxiety and depression as we explore and understand complex emotions in a safe space and find healthy and effective ways to express and release those feelings. We can immerse ourselves in exploration of your past as we make connections and gain understanding of how old patterns show up for you today. Or we can focus on the here and now, identifying what behaviors and thoughts are no longer serving you so you can create new goals that support your growth, in whatever way feels right to you.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. Hello, My name is Alimah Walker, Psychotherapist and Transpersonal Counselor with over 25 years experience in the Philadelphia area, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves.

Finally science and spirit integrated services... I combine the mind, the body and the soul into my therapy and offer multiple services to treat each aspect of them. I specialize in helping those who are still spiritually connected and still treat all. I am pending insurance contracts where I will treat the body with Myofascial Release and the ming with Mental Health Therapy.

My clients often share that they feel heard, seen, and celebrated as individuals throughout therapy. I apply research-backed, trauma-informed, multi-culturally competent individual therapy to instill hope, self-compassion, and empowerment in young people. Through gentle guidance, developmentally appropriate psychoeducation, and empathic listening, my clients are able to tap into their inner strengths and vulnerabilities, and learn to tolerate discomforts and-- once and for all-- conquer their fears and insecurities.

I see therapy as a holistic endeavor. When it comes to creating change, I believe in the importance of our bodies, not just our heads, in the healing process. So many of us have no issues with thinking. We can clearly analyze, and maybe even feel like we overanalyze, our struggles but still feel disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, the world around us. We are much more than our thoughts and I find therapy to be more effective when our full human experience- physical, emotional, spiritual- is also given focus.

As a woman, life pulls you in many different directions. Pleasing everyone leaves you feeling overwhelmed especially after loss or sudden change. Worry, fear, guilt, & obligation spiral. Life hits a tipping point: You need time to yourself, but you feel guilty & yet continuing to avoid how you feel, only makes things worse. Now you're at a turning point. I specialize in helping women, who feel anxious & depressed from major life challenges, transitions, trauma & losses, move forward with renewed confidence & hope. With 30 years of experience, I collaborate with you to decrease anxiety & help you reach your personal goals.

An animal lover, a life-long advocate, and a forever student of personal development. Dedicated to supporting you in releasing the stress and overwhelm that comes along with being human, I’m a strong believer in teaching you the skills to affect change in your own life. It’s in my ethical code that you won’t be dependent on me as a psychotherapist to do the healing for you. Instead, I’ll teach you how to do it yourself, then we’ll celebrate when you eventually don’t need sessions with me at all!
