Teletherapy for Paoli, PA

You thirst to understand yourself and those around you with depth and clarity. You desire to uncover insight into who you are and your relationships. You struggle with perfectionism and are convinced that you will get left behind unless you do all the right things and be everything. You give so much care and attention to other people that you don’t know what it feels like to get your own needs met. If any of this resonates with you, you are in the right place. Through therapy, you will develop a relationship of compassion, love, and kindness to yourself and your relationships.

When a child is struggling to read and write, it takes a toll on their self-esteem and the family system as a whole. With over 20 years of experience in the fields of education and psychology, I help parents and young children navigate issues related to learning to read and write and the impact these challenges have on social-emotional development and behaviors at school and at home. Through evidence-based structured literacy intervention combined with educational therapy, children gain confidence for success in school and in life, and parents gain behavior management strategies for a happy home.

At Meyerbrook Counseling, our holistic approach puts your whole being at the center of treatment by addressing your mental, emotional, physical and psychological-spiritual needs (meaning/purpose, transcendence, and peace of mind). The core of our mission begins with the recognition that psychological well-being requires learning how to develop greater awareness, self-compassion and commitment, and turning that effort into action. We are licensed professional therapists and wellness practitioners who specialize in providing integrative and innovative interventions to help you heal, evolve, and thrive. ​

My intention to create a safe place for you to be willing to go through the pain we will uncover, trusting that healing is waiting for you on the other side. When we manage our emotions, and learn from them, we can avoid the traps of language, thinking, and habit that inhibit healthy development, that leave us stuck. Emotions are never the problem. Instead, emotions are data- guiding us to truth and potential. Therapy is an excavation. It is a cathartic oxygenation of buried experience done by an individual with the help of a therapist.

Growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parent can be a difficult and emotionally draining experience. Some common symptoms associated with this kind of upbringing can include: People-pleasing behavior or always seeking approval, fear of failure, or difficulty setting and achieving goals, Severe anxiety or depression, a need for constant validation or reassurance, feeling like you are not allowed to express your emotions, difficulty recognizing or articulating your needs, a sense of guilt or responsibility for a parent’s behavior, difficulty setting boundaries or making decisions, and more.

Stress, frustration, sadness, anxiety. These are all feelings we experience and are able to manage most of the time. Sometimes though, you may need a little more help than the people closest to you can provide. Our sessions will give you some time to care for yourself. You will have the opportunity to grieve your losses, develop new coping skills, make informed decisions, and improve your relationships. We work together so you can stay present and connected, even as events and people around us shift with uncertainty.

You deserve to be happy. Therapy doesn't have to painful. I want to find out about you and help you find the solutions that work for you.

At times, we may we find ourselves feeling unmotivated, sad and stuck. Change can feel like a struggle or an endless loop of problems repeating themselves. I believe we all have tools for change inside us, but we don't always recognize them.

I am dedicated to working collaboratively with clients to assist in their wellness goals. I firmly believe that each individual has it within themselves to improve and achieve their desired happiness. As their therapist, I am there to listen, reflect and provide additional insight into the current situation to empower the client to reach their optimal potential.
