Family Counseling Therapists in Plymouth Meeting, PA

My passion is working with clients who desire to recover from substance use disorders. I work with early, middle, and late stage recovery candidates - both individuals and their families . My primary focus is the use of individual & group interventions to assist with the recognition of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral triggers which cause relapse. These paramount issues when resolved can lead to freedom from the bondage of addiction. I also specialize in grief/loss, anxiety & depressive disorders, building healthy relationships, and co-dependency. My mission is simple - to help others with compassion, empathy, & respect.

I believe in providing intervention for clients and families that is purposeful. This means the client will be taught to understand what they need to do to reach their goals. This includes understanding the complexity of their emotional distress, obtaining skills and strategies, and getting feedback and support on applying these strategies effectively.

If you are feeling stuck, unhappy,or unhealthy, I am here to help. I work with people struggling with Anxiety, Depression, trauma, abuse, grief, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, body image, relational issues, blended families , co-parenting, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual dysfunction. I utilize a body positive and sex positive lens and affirmative counseling practices with all clients, especially LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am passionate about the intersection of mental and physical health and enjoy working with athletes and non-athletes alike to enhance performance, maintain motivation, and enjoy living a healthy lifestyle.

Have you noticed that due to childhood trauma or any type of dysfunction you may have experienced as a child, it is hard to maintain relationships as an adult? My approach to therapy is warm, authentic and person-centered creating a safe and productive space to work on any issue that will increase the quality of your life, the quality of your relationships – most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself! I am Licensed Professional Counselor, fully trained clinician (EMDR), Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist treating those with a history of trauma as well as a Certified Advanced Drug and Alcohol Counselor.

I am a lifelong agent of change, working with diverse populations to help them achieve their full potential, and be free of self-limiting behaviors. I provide individual, couple and family therapy utilizing the most effective strategies, all in the context of a comfortable and collaborative relationship. I will always view my client in the context of their family , social network and broader environment. Complexity and clinical difficulty is stimulating and familiar to me, and I will wholeheartedly join with you to limit the difficulties you face.

We are all working to do the best we can and sometimes we just need another perspective and the resources for trying new tools or strategies. I believe that counseling must be more than "feelings talk". Working together, I help you appreciate your own strengths and expand your confidence in experimenting with different possibilities in all of your relationships both personal and work related. Experiences of parenting three children, grandchildren and a 30 year marriage give me a deep respect for the challenges and the effort we all bring to our lives.

Everyone has a lens through which we view the world created by our unique experiences, struggles, triumphs, and diverse cultural languages, but so often we feel as if we lack the voice to express our true selves and needs to others. We struggle to find the courage to live authentically in a world that often doesn’t understand or validate our humanity, empathy, and sense of self. As we find self-empowerment, we can come together to empower our families , communities, and ultimately our world as a united whole to meet the challenges we face as human beings. Therapy can help overcome past trauma to help us live fully in the present.

For the past 20 years. I have helped families ,couples, adults, and teens to strengthen their relationships and better cope the problems, challenges and demands of life. Having trained with some of the pioneering family therapists at the Famiy Institute of Philadelphia, I bring the knowledge and experience to help couples and families communicate and problem solve more effectively. I work collaboratively with clients to develop self-care and stress management practices that improve quality of life. I am the clinical director of CM Counsel, a multispecialty group practice providing psychiatric and psychotherapy services with offices in Exton and Plymouth Meeting, PA

I am personally comitted to making as strong an empathic connection to my clients as possible. I believe that this provides a the envoirnment necessary for change. The clinicians at our group,CM Counsel are committed to providing easy access to diagnostic, therapeutic, and psychiatric services to individuals, couples, and families of all ages. Our staff of licensed psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists have a wide range of experience dealing with the obstacles to you and your family 's emotional well being.

I believe an important part of the therapy process is developing a flexible and collaborative relationship in which the client feels safe to explore, understand, and change relationships and behaviors, so that he or she may grow in a satisfying, creative, and life enhancing way. I have worked as a clinician for over twenty years and maintain a general practice for adults, families and children.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful and transformative experience. I believe that psychological healing occurs within the relationship between patient and therapist. Together we will seek to explore and understand your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions, with the goal of helping you experience your world in a new way.

I have helped individuals struggling with a wide variety of issues such as: anxiety, depression,addiction, self-esteem,grief and loss,identity issues, marital difficulties, trauma, and communication skills. I've worked with young children, tweens, teens, young adults and individuals approaching retirement. It is an amazing privilege to be a part of the transformation that happens when a client truly begins to feel comfortable in his or her own skin and lives the life he or she desires.

The decision to enter psychotherapy can be difficult. Most of us would like to think we can solve our problems on our own, or at least with the help of friends and family . If you are looking for a therapist, chances are you have already tried doing just that, possibly with great effort over a long time, and are feeling discouraged about the result. The problems may be new or all too familiar. Therapy can help with two levels of concern: at a practical level, what to do to cope? at an underlying level, what to do to heal?

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working primarily with adolescents, families with younger children, and adults struggling with family relationships. I see many children presenting with oppositional and defiant behaviors, overcoming trauma and abuse, or suffering from significant mood dysregulation, each of which can put a whole family in distress. My work with adults generally focuses on issues of marital relationships, divorces, and parenting. I help people resolve conflicts, improve communication, and change unproductive habits. I also often treat anxiety and stress related to work, trauma, and relationships.

Licensed in PA and DE. I work with individuals of all ages. Most of my experience has been working with adolescents and families . The pandemic has impacted most everyone. Family systems and teens have been significantly impacted with more demand for aupport than available resources. While adolescents are often resistant to therapy and take longer to gain trust, once they connect the progress is obvious. If your child demonstrates signs of withdrawal, isolation, increased irritabilty or intense sadness please reach out. Virtual sessions only which just happens to be the most comfortable platform for adolescents.
