Therapists in New Castle, PA

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.

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.

Have you been struggling with feeling overwhelmed or stuck in the spin cycle? Wanting to make changes in your life... health... relationships... but struggling with where to start and finding the energy to make that happen? Growth & change can be difficult, but if you are looking to make some real changes & need someone to match your motivation & drive to grow, I am the right fit for you. You are the expert in you, and that is the fundamental basis of our work together. We will explore how your thoughts, experiences, & emotions have affected your choices &/or habits & look for ways to make small changes that can have big impacts.

You are struggling with keeping it together right now, but the idea of tackling your mental health can seem overwhelming & exhausting! There are so many layers involved with how we feel and respond to things, and working through them can feel like a daunting process. Even picking the 'right' therapist for you can lead to pushing off even starting your self-care journey. I get it. I hear you. We can walk through this together. We will identify and sort out your struggles, needs, insecurities, triggers, goals, and even tackle those long-avoided ghosts in the closet. No Shame. No Blame. Just Real Work to start moving life forward again

You are struggling and have been for a while. Getting up and going takes far more energy than it used to, and you can't seem to get yourself back on track and are frustrated with feeling stuck. You are pushing yourself to 'find' motivation, but motivation doesn’t just happen by itself; the motivation is in doing and that becomes one of the biggest barriers to healing. All too often I see people just like you struggle with the 'starting' process, those who give up on themselves and stay stuck in an anxious, frustrated, depressed cycle of living. Missing out on what life can be like once this cycle is controlled and/or broken.

Everyone experiences life differently, and at times, trying to figure out how to handle these experiences can become overwhelming. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where I can assist you in processing and gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and lifestyle. I have an interest in working with children, teenagers, and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, self-esteem, family conflicts, relationship problems, life transitions, and more. Current availability on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings.

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.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has provided therapeutic services over the past 10 years in the following settings; A Community Treatment Team; Family Outpatient Services; Art Therapy at a Fine Arts Institution; and an Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Residential Treatment Facility. I have provided therapy to children, adolescents, adults and their families, helping them with anxiety and depression disorders, substance abuse, trauma, complicated grief, and anger management.

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?"

Offering guidance, nurturing, and deeper insight into health and healing is my primary approach to counseling with clients. I have many years of experience guiding individuals and couples toward self-empowerment and healing. The scope of my practice covers helping those that are feeling overwhelmed by life or physical limitations, couples struggling in a difficult relationship, and individuals who are seeking to improve their own personal growth process. I use traditional approaches as well as hypnotherapy, therapeutic dream exploration, and a newer, very powerful insight based instrument called MARI. See more at www.expmari.com.
