Hello. I am Stephen Boren, PsyD, a licensed psychologist in PA. I help clients to understand themselves better, i.e. when did your difficulties start; what prompted the issues you know struggle with. I am a very compassionate and down-to-earth therapist. I believe a comfortable relationship with your therapist is a major aspect of what makes for good outcomes. While my underlying theoretical approach is psychodynamic, I do not cling to any theory while doing therapy. In the first session, I ask clients what they would like to get out of therapy and make suggestions as well for areas of focus. With my client, I monitor progress.

My ideal client often begins therapy knowing something is off, uncomfortable, or painful but unsure where to go next. Sometimes, they aren't sure what is causing their distress and are looking for help to understand what happened that led them here. Other times, they are aware of what's causing their pain but are looking for an additional perspective as they begin to make changes. Their goals, on some level, are to find relief, understanding, or peace.

I feel strongly that talk therapy can help you to live your life more fully. Many clients I work with struggle with transitions/changes, they feel that they have lost their way or are frustrated with unfulfilling relationships at home and work. Therapy can help. Together we can explore the issues you are facing, consider patterns that keep getting in the way, and figure out how to best support you in finding ways to live the life you want.

As a queer mixed-race South Asian and white person, I have long understood identity to be political and relational. I approach my work as a therapist from this community justice perspective, where I understand both trauma and healing to be rooted in the context in which we live. Many of us get the message that healing is an individual journey, but healing is a process that is made possible by building loving connection with ourselves and others.

First things first: You are the expert on your experience!
