Child Therapists in Phoenixville, PA

If you had a magic wand, how would your life be different? Would your child ’s anxiety, fear, and struggles vanish? Could parenting become easy and conflict-free? When your child or adolescent struggles with behavioral, emotional, and trauma issues, it affects the whole family and makes you feel powerless and overwhelmed. Welcome to Invictus Counseling! I work with children , teens, and parents to address behaviors, emotions, and trauma and develop goals to overcome those obstacles. There’s no magic wand – but there is a way to help, to nurture, and to improve.

Are you feeling stuck and need some guidance for growth? I won't offer band-aid solutions, only lasting and meaningful change. Therapy to me is a process of identifying and understanding who you are and where you want to go. I want to journey with you to the deeper levels of your struggles and find the light. The arrow is a powerful symbol to me that represents the growth we are capable of. In order for an arrow to aim forward, it must be pulled back with the bow to gain strength.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, practicing as a therapist, trainer, and consultant in Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs. I offer individual therapy, couples counseling and family counseling for children , adolescents and adults. I have a broad and unique base of clinical experience and education.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working within the field for 10+ years. My work focuses on both assessment and treatment of toddlers, children , and teens who are experiencing difficulties with behavior, mood, development, and cognition. Though I tailor my treatment to the individual needs of each client, I most often incorporate behavioral and solution-focused techniques and work collaboratively with others in the child 's life. Now in private practice, I previously worked for various schools and clinics in Chicago, IL, Nationwide Children ' s Hospital in OH, and the National Institutes of Health in MD.

Are you concerned about changes in your child 's mood or behaviors? Are you a parent of a child with social, emotional, or behavioral challenges? Do you struggle to help your child meet these challenges? Do you worry, “Will my child make friends? Will the teachers like my child ? What if my child never learns to manage their impulsivity, anxiety, big emotions, social issues?” There is hope.

Sometimes we feel that certain feelings we have, like anger and sadness, get sort of stuck inside of us, and are really hard to release. Maybe an issue with a family member stays unresolved for quite a long time, and so becomes a hurdle that's almost impossible to overcome, but maybe its an issue within oneself. It could be that talking it out with an impartial but caring person could help.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people recover from a wide range of challenges including self esteem issues, anxiety, marital conflict, depression, emotional eating, anorexia, bulimia, and stress related issues.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps people learn skills that last a lifetime.

I enjoy working with clients with many different types of concerns or areas in which they would like to grow. I have been working with children , teenagers, adults, couples, and families since 2007. I tailor my treatment approach to each client and I believe that each client is an expert on themselves. I have assisted clients with many different reasons for coming into counseling, and only some of those topics are highlighted here.

It is my belief that each and every person is doing the best they can with the resources they have available to them. Oftentimes an unbiased listening ear, some empathy, encouragement, and perhaps a different point of view is all you need as a parent or child to help you feel empowered to take the necessary steps to move forward in a healthy and joyful way. I began my career working with young kids (and their families) in Early Intervention and from there realized the importance of empowering the family system as a whole to face the challenges in our daily lives.

In working with children and adolescents (ages 5-18) you accept the responsibility of meeting with a population who may not have consented to therapy. Although guardians act within the child 's best interest, the intervention may not be something the adolescent supports at the time. With this understanding, my primary goal is to simply connect regardless of who walks through that door. Progress cannot occur without a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. To ensure this result, I rely on genuineness and transparency with the client. My extensive experience, both as a School Counselor and Therapist, lead my counseling direction

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with Children , Adults, and Families. My experience has been in outpatient private practice and as a Mental Health Therapist in the public school system of Pennsylvania. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and family issues. Because of my time spent working with adolescents in the school setting, I am prepared to support your child with mental health issues that are impeding their social and educational success.

Relationships aren’t always easy, especially our most important ones. In our lives, we are constantly responding to the influences of and affecting those around us. If you and your family, child , or partner have been struggling to connect, you're not alone. Many of us get stuck in patterns and, although we try our best, can't find a way back to the relationships we want. In order to find our way back, I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your individual needs by pulling from various treatment approaches. I have trained in Ecosystemic Family Therapy and worked with parents/families in the residential and family-based level of care.

I don't believe that adolescents/young adults are broken and need to be fixed, they need healed. I will create an emotionally safe environment, a place where you are accepted without judgement. This is the corner stone of developing trust. This process is a personal journey, one that I am honored to be a part of. I have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults for over 28 years. This is a unique population that requires an in-depth understanding of their worlds.

When I work with a client, my hope is that the individual will experience a sense of understanding and hopefulness for change in their present situation. I believe that when an individual feels that the clinician is truly invested in "walking with" the "whole person" on their journey, the client will gain a new perspective on their movement in life. When I see individuals who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression, relational concerns, life stressors, and/or loss and transition issues, my main focus is to support the client in developing a hopefulness that positive change is possible.

Are you feeling stuck or ambivalent? Uncertainty can be overwhelming and a source of anxiety. My goal is to help guide my clients to find their own answers by providing a safe, comfortable environment for expressing and exploring feelings. I will not rush into fixing, but rather find the right questions to ask to help you delve deeper in your exploration and see things from a new perspective.

Friends and family may be your biggest resource for support. However, you may be faced with challenges and struggles, that their advice can't address. Or, they may be part of the problem. That's why it's best to turn to a professional who can provide the skill needed to help you face these challenges in an objective, nurturing environment. My years of experience have given me the opportunity to counsel many individuals, couples and families, with a wide range of issues. Let me hear from you. I'll help you get back on track.
