Self Esteem Therapists in Scranton, PA

You’ve never fit into any type of “normal”. You’ve grown up with a learning disability and thought the struggle would “get better” after graduation. But that didn’t happen. You’re still easily distracted & overwhelmed. Worried others are seeing how much harder you’re working to complete “simple” tasks. Fearful of the judgement and teasing from others. You’re sad and doubting your own worth. You may have seen your uniqueness as something to be ashamed of or even hide. But today, you’re ready to leave the hurt from the past and embrace your unique self! It’s time to heal previous wounds, build confidence, and find out who you are.

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”.

An ideal client for me is one who is looking for some direction. They are open to trying suggested coping skills or ways of thinking and perhaps just need some empathy, reassurance and professional insight in order to move forward in their lives or even to move in a new direction.

As a therapist who has experience in many areas within counseling, my hope is to always help the client know that they are accepted. Clients can know that they are safe and protected within our therapeutic alliance. I will make every effort to remain ethical and lead the client in a positive and effective journey that will benefit their life.

Hello, my name is Cheryl Rittfeldt. I am a multilingual, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I believe that healing is a collective venture that requires honest caring without judgment. I cooperatively assist clients in identifying their goals. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I gather from a variety of methods to generate a suited strategy. I have experience working with young children, adolescents, teens, couples, and adults. Hola, Yo hablo Espanol
