Attachment-based Therapists in Royersford, PA

Judy received her Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology at Chestnut Hill College. She is trained in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She specializes in working with individuals who suffer from eating disorders, body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and those wanting to break free from diet culture. She is passionate about supporting others in finding freedom with food and body acceptance.

I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root of their struggles. These clients would like to gain insight into their symptoms, something difficult that has happened to them or to explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them. The clients I see often have attended therapy in the past. The clients I see also often present with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in their personal and work relationships.

Leyla uses a person-centered integrative approach to work with her clients where she considers the whole person and all their strengths. She truly believes every individual already has all the tools they need for mental wellness, and her role as a therapist is to support her clients in exploring these tools to experience a more fulfilling life.

A strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is the first step in making positive and healthy changes. I'm a strong believer in the quote, "You grow through what you go through." By providing a safe and affirming space, I work with and support children, adolescents, and young adults, alongside their families, to be the expert on their lives while supporting and guiding them to take initiative to heal and make healthy, long-term changes. I take a trauma-informed approach with all clients and utilize techniques and principles from CBT, Narrative Therapy, Reality Therapy, Play Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Do you experience mood swings, struggle with boundary setting, feel on edge, and have concerns within your interpersonal relationships? It can be exhausting battling these concerns on your own. My approach is to build a trusting, down to earth, and authentic relationship that is centered around you and your experiences. My hope is for you to feel comfortable to explore your concerns, so that solutions can be found collaboratively.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

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 aim to be your mirror, holding steady through the difficulties and triumphs of self reflection, to support your journey of personal growth. I will help you identify patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you or your vision for happiness and health. Together, we will create time, space and energy for you to reach your goals. I strive to instill hope, improve self-regulation and relaxation, forge new and positive behaviors which serve you in living your life.

Seeking answers and wanting to work toward change is the first step towards it. I help individuals thru a Solution Focused approach by using their established skills to empower and create change. What have you achieved? What of those skills could you utilize to help you further? Maybe you need help looking at what happened to get you where you currently are? We will use your curiosity to identify “how” you can get where you want to go. Let’s find out where you want to go, obstacles in getting there and the best path toward your goal. Anxiety and depression look much different thru an empowered lens that is solution focused.

Therapy isn’t just for people with “big problems.” Whether it is anxiety, transitions, peer conflict, negative thinking, or having issues managing day to day life I am here to help! I will not offer quick fix solutions or try to change you overnight. In order to create long lasting change I will help work with all systems in your life to ensure you have a strong support network that will help you thrive! I specialize in treating adolescents, aged 12-18. With working with adolescents I believe it is imperative to have family involvement throughout the therapy process.

I am a licensed therapist at Everlasting Wellness LLC. My passion is working with motivated clients from adolescence to adulthood who experience life stressors such as symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity concerns, self-esteem issues, and struggles within relationships.

Struggling to find someone that understands you? Wishing you had someone to talk to about life events and other stressors? Therapy is place to make a genuine connection with another and openly explore your difficulties. It can also be an overwhelming process to find a person you connect with, so this is a great first step! Be proud of yourself for being brave in order to ask for help.

Welcome! Whatever you're struggling with, I will listen carefully to what you are going through and together we will help you get past this, to start living the life you want to live, the life you deserve to live. Whether you are experiencing sadness, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or a troubled relationship, the first step is to get some help. Together we will identify why you're feeling this way, and more importantly, learn how to get past it. Give yourself permission to ask for help - you are worth it! I look forward to meeting you and hearing your unique story.

I will bring all my training and all of my compassion to our work together. Whether you are sorting through past trauma, or struggle with anxiety or depression - you are not alone.
