Therapists in Riegelsville, PA

I am only able to accept telehealth cases going forward. I practice with adults and teens. I specialize in ADHD, Autism, academic functioning, and anxiety. Additionally, I have extensive experience with LGBTQA individuals. I have an approach that includes a heavy emphasis on behavioral approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Behavioral Psychology. I also integrate existentialist approaches that focus on creating meaning in your personal and professional life.

Many of us were conditioned into survival strategies that separate us from ourselves due to living and being raised inside oppressive structures and dynamics. This separation can create the belief that there is something wrong with us, as though we are unworthy or unlovable, leading to cycles of shame, numbing, anger, fear, and grief. I seek to create a space for compassion and curiosity that allows these feelings to be explored and held. This process can help us to move beyond stagnant patterns of hurt that limit our growth, potential, and love. It can help us make more conscious choices on how we wish to engage with life.

Beginning to address our mental health takes a lot of bravery, strength, and courage to take that first step. It is not easy to ask for help, especially when we are not used to doing so. Many of us, especially from marginalized communities, face additional challenges that make navigating through life a balancing act. Whether it be due to stigma surrounding mental health, prior negative experiences, lack of access, or fear of trying something new, I want to welcome you and join you in taking that next step in your journey.

Are you struggling with accepting parts of yourself that you don't understand? Are you looking for ways to communicate the complex "you" to your family, friends, and loved ones? Are you struggling to identify and communicate your needs? As a neurodivergent and non-binary therapist, I'm here to help you navigate a world not designed for us. Let's explore your past so you can better understand your present.

If you are looking for a new therapy experience that accepts who you are without judgment, I would be honored to work with you. I understand it is impossible to force people into boxes and label their life with stereotypical behaviors. We are all unique with our own combination of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I strive to be a good listener and let you be in charge of our time together–you are the expert on your life. I will be your guide to help you uncover the driving forces in your life and explore whatever has caused or is causing you trauma.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

I help those who are feeling stuck, trapped, confused & need help making sense of everything that is going on so that they can put it into words and grow. My therapy is a safe space for those who need support. My practice is trauma informed and non judgemental. My practice is also anti racist, sex positive, LGBTQIA+ competent, and gender affirming. I work with artists, college students, mothers, sex workers, nuerodivergent idividuals, queer and trans community, & people who struggle with anxiety & trauma. I also offer gender affirming surgery letters.

Hola! I'm Aurelio. I provide IFS-informed EMDR and relationship therapy in English and Spanish for adults, including those who identify as people of color, polyam/non-monog, neurodiverse, kinky, LGBQ+, and trans/gender expansive. I also support folks exploring identities, and those healing from trauma and emotional pain. My liberation and healing are bound up with yours. I see healing as an ongoing process that we do for ourselves, our community, our ancestors, and the ones who will come after us. A process where we collectively hold space for each other, tend to our wounds, laugh, and strengthen our capacity to survive and thrive.

We tend to think of change and acceptance as opposing truths, as if accepting our situation means doing nothing about it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that seeks to transcend this all-or-nothing way of thinking. It teaches us to radically accept our situation as it is, while still working to improve the things within our control. Instead of seeing change and acceptance as opposing truths, DBT allows us to see them as truths that reinforce each other. In other words: embracing acceptance can lead to change, and embracing change can lead to acceptance.
