I believe that each child is unique and should have the opportunity to learn and develop to his or her full potential. When a child does not thrive in school, it may be due to a learning disability, executive function problems, ADHD, a developmental disability such as an autism spectrum disorder, a behavioral or emotional disorder or a physical health problem. I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and educational achievement testing and assessment, designed to accurately pinpoint the source of a child's academic difficulty. Based on the child's needs and strengths, I recommend interventions tailored uniquely for that child.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

Raising children is a fulfilling and puzzling part of our lives. From that first day we meet our new baby, a world of hope, wishes, and new possibilities begin. Parents don’t leave the hospital with a guidebook on how to address every bump and hurdle along the way. Children are unique, complex, and exciting. Sometimes however, they also need extra support. In my therapeutic work, I partner with you to understand the needs of your family and that of your child. Together we explore the concerns which bring you into my office – whether trauma, adjustment, anxiety, school related concerns, or behavioral challenges.

I Am Not currently accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania.

Alexa Stern
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I utilize an embodied and integrated approach to support clients to heal from past wounds and improve current functioning. As a body-oriented therapist, I believe attending to posture, gesture, breath, tensions, voice, and movement can yield powerful insights and changes in how we experience ourselves and the world and facilitate the integration of body, mind and spirit toward fuller authentic living. Often, we need to encounter what we find within us to be deeply unacceptable, painful, and terrifying to be set free and transform. As a compassionate, supportive guide, I am humbled and honored to accompany my clients on this journey.

David Mcanallen
Psychologist, MEd

One's life and overall functioning is enhanced or restricted by one’s thoughts and belief system. You are meant to be happy and content. What you think/believe vibrates. The "energy of our emotional vibration" resonates with a direct correlation to what is occurring and manifesting in our lives, and to some degree the lives of others. Understanding this concept and becoming intentionally aware that one is a co-creator empowers and attunes to the calibration of well being. The approach applies to individuals, families, and couples. Underneath we all seek a sense of comfort, ease, and satisfaction with the experiences in our lives.

Human beings are deeply wired for connection and thrive in relationships that provide safety, love, and unconditional acceptance. When we find ourselves alone, isolated, and disconnected, especially when our relationships are suffering, we struggle with self-doubt, shame, and beliefs that we are undeserving and unloveable. But it doesn't have to be this way. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your story and deepen your self understanding, putting you on a healing path to freedom, joy, and connection.

Living is not an easy task. It takes immense courage and strength to walk every day into the unknown. Relationships, life experiences, and beliefs held within our communities can disconnect us, leaving many feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. For the last 4 years I have worked with clients of all ages, cultures, and gender identities struggling through life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, identity questions, and traumas of all kinds including sexual assault and domestic violence. You do not need to confront these challenges alone. With patience and awareness you can feel better.

All of my clients want their life back and we will work together to make that happen. Don't let the fear, lack of motivation, hyper-vigilance, hopelessness, sadness, or panic attacks hold you back any longer. I also work with couples and families in need of therapy.

Being a mom can not only burn you out, but it can trigger stuff you thought you had under wraps. Raising kids, managing family life, AND somehow finding time to take care of you is a lot to juggle. You want a calm, happy home but the things you’ve tried haven’t stuck. You don’t have to repeat history. You can spend more time enjoying your family. You can feel better in your body and mind. Being able to parent well, have a happy family life, and take care of your own mental wellness is 100 percent possible.
