Therapists in Phoenixville, PA

If you have had an experience that seems traumatic to you despite what others may think or say, or any extremely stressful life challenge recently or in the past, I specialize in helping with these issues. If there is something you have never shared with anyone or are frightened by the prospect of disclosing what you've carried for a long time, I am here to listen. The impact of distressing experiences may result in extreme anxiety or fear, episodes of depression, repeated difficulties in personal or family relationships and even physical health issues. Emotional experiences during developmental years may result in complex PTSD.

At Open Minds Psychological our clinicians are trained using a variety of evidence-informed models to support individuals, couples and families, and groups. Services offered are diagnostic evaluations, therapy (individual, family, group), career counseling, behavior consultation, parent support and co-parenting.

As a psychologist, counselor, and evaluator, I look at sessions as a collaborative process. Together we work towards making the changes my clients desire so that they experience more contentment, peace, satisfaction and success. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps people learn skills that last a lifetime. I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years experience as a counselor, therapist, and diagnostician, and am active in training therapists.

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.

You who are highly sensitive and feel a lot, welcome! You'll explore more deeply with me than in traditional talk therapy. You’ve likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to really “get” people from many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body and emotions, and gently access the root of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I focus a great deal on helping people expand their awareness of aspects of themselves and their important relationships that they have difficulty paying attention to and feeling. This increased awareness helps people feel more flexible and free to navigate the obstacles and cross-currents they find facing them in their lives, rather than remain stuck in repetitive cycles of suffering.

Hi! I am an anti-diet, health at every size (HAES) provider. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders and anxiety disorders. Are you struggling with restricting, binging, purging? Have a love/hate relationship with food? Anxious thoughts about school, social settings, or life? Maybe you feel like you will never recover, and have trouble feeling supported due to diet culture.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Lao-tzu You have just taken the first step of that journey. Life presents us with many challenges along the way. We may experience loss and significant changes in our lives. These challenges may present themselves in the many relationships we have with others, in our jobs, at school, and in our families. These challenges may affect our moods, cause us worry and despair, hamper our spirits, sadden us, confuse us and result in either our stumbling off course or losing a sense of direction. Therapy can be most helpful in getting you back on track and continuing your journey.

Have you been confronted with a problem so complex that it has defied all attempts to solve it? Have you found the more determined you are to find a solution, the more elusive it becomes...leaving you stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed? Would you like to maximize your potential to creatively resolve complexities in your personal life or in business? I specialize in transforming "Gordian Knots" that impede performance at home, at work, or in the community. I offer: Psychological Services, Performance Coaching, Conflict Mediation and Training. Please visit my Web site: www.amdphd.com for explanations of the specific services offered.

You are so done with working hard at being someone and something you are not. You may also be tired of faking a smile that is so often a mask. You have been living under the expectations of others and it may be getting in the way of you getting what you want out of life and being who you want to be. You want to live differently and you either don’t know where to start or you are ready for the next step in your journey to becoming more you. You may want to experience more freedom, more peace or greater connection to yourself or in your relationship with others.

The world we live in is complicated and ever-changing, and the patterns we develop to address the challenges of life often cease to work for us...in fact, no strategy for living, relating to others, or to ourselves can ever work optimally forever. A depression, a personal life crisis, marital upsets and family conflicts are painful but often signal an important opportunity for self-reflection, assessment of "where I've been" in life, and the chance to create a new pathway for moving forward. This is where an expert therapist can be of value.

Hello there! Are you feeling stuck in the same pain, the same repeated patterns? Are you struggling to feel truly connected and safe in your relationships? You're not alone, & help is available. With nearly 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals find lasting change and healing. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, delving into unconscious motivations and conflicts shaping thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By addressing emotional core experiences, we unveil the root causes of struggles and cultivate new ways to navigate life and connect with others.

Parents often have questions about their child's school performance that can be best answered by an assessment of their abilities, achievement, learning styles, attention and organization skills. Whether there is a need to modify their current school program, or decide if they would benefit from a different learning setting altogether, I offer 35 years of experience evaluating and counseling elementary through college-age students. I strive to have students feel relaxed and successful during the process and convey results in user-friendly language to help parents best understand their child's learning attributes and how to provide for growth.

This is the first step to becoming a new you. Life can often be overwhelming and filled with obstacles. Making changes is not always easy, but it is possible to overcome the negative feelings in order to reach your full potential. Past and present issues can cause stress, anxiety and depression if not dealt with properly. At PA Horizons Counseling, we can provide an opportunity for you to achieve the life you want. Our team of therapists aim to guide you through your journey in discovering your true self. We believe therapy is essential to recovery. Call today to set up a free consultation and to discuss how we can help you.

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.

Addiction, Anxiety. Depression. Trauma. Parenting. Teens. Relationships. Affairs. Miscommunication. We understand the challenges and complexities of life that you didn't sign up for. You want to stop the patterns, stop the stress. You want to sleep at night and feel connected and heard in your relationships. You want to heal from the past and move forward with confidence, grace, and purpose. Our expert therapists are here to help you. Our group therapy practice is comprised of therapists with specific education and training, making them an expert in their focus.

Therapy is learning about yourself and understanding what your triggers are, where they came from and how to best manage them. It's also about learning strategies that will help you cope with stressors specific to what is going on in your life. Whether you are looking for guidance with anxiety or depression, support in maintaining and managing a difficult relationship, tools to better manage your emotions, help with grieving a loss, confronting a fear or gaining insight, self awareness and confidence, you've found the right place and the results can be life changing.

Tired of hurting? Frustrated with others giving well-meaning but unhelpful advice? Do you long to be heard? You're certainly not alone. We all ache for different reasons including deep sadness, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, job challenges and addiction. Often, what we need is for someone to truly listen and help us sort through our thoughts and feelings to gain understanding about the situation and ourselves. I believe in the therapeutic process because I know that it's effective. It involves no longer avoiding what is painful, confusing or scary and, with help, walking through it to find both insight and relief.
