Teen Therapists in State College, PA

It is said, if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life. I believe that I have found my passion, helping others recovery in their life's journey. I want therapy to be driven by your needs and goals, and it is essential to recognize and work with the reciprocal relationship between mental and physical health. I help clients identify and challenge their negative, maladaptive thoughts (and associated feelings) in order to then cultivate more positive, adaptive, and self-affirming thoughts - which leads to a more empowered, growth mindset.

As we journey through life, there are times our travel becomes weary. We may feel lost, plagued by doubt, or burdened by uncertainty. Yet we are strong, resilient, and determined. We simply need a guide to help us discover the path forward. That is where Forward Path Counseling can help.

I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner through AANP, and I graduated from Frontier Nursing University with my MSN and Drexel University for my RN-BSN. I provide mental health care & wellness to clients here at Hope and Healing Counseling Services and I am licensed in NJ. I have practiced in various mental health areas including residential, locked units, addictions, and outpatient settings with over ten years of experience providing care to children through geriatrics.

I have 15 years of experience working with children and adults of diverse backgrounds. I have helped clients with issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, anger management, addiction, stress & time management, relationship concerns, general communication skills, and spiritual and religious concerns/inquiry.

I have experience working with a variety of mental health needs such as Depression, Anxiety, Personality Disorders, Trauma and PTSD, Crisis Management, ADHD, Identity and Sexuality. My ongoing determination to continue my education maintains my license and guides me toward new skills and practices to better help my clients.

With over thirty years of experience in working with a broad range of mental health issues, Rhonda Mateer Ross is a skilled provider of psychotherapy and neurofeedback. Infra Slow Fluctuation Neurofeedback (Google Mark Smith) is especially powerful with autism, bowel issues, migraines, Raynauld's Syndrome, anxiety, sleep disturbances and mood disorders. She is also certified in the Polyvagal Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) which is especially helpful with autism, trauma and anxiety.

My practice is devoted to treating the full range of emotional and psychological problems that an individual may be experiencing from a psychoanalytic perspective. My goal is to enable clients to experience themselves in a creative way having shed the burden of maladaptive ways of relating to self and others and free of defensive emotional patterns. The way to do so, I am convinced, is to explore the past, present and future to clues to what enslaves, what is currently painful and what freedom as a gift of self promises.

If you are here, it means you are ready for change, growth, and healing. How can I help? My approach focuses on being true to you and addressing your unique needs! My goal is to raise awareness of your inner strengths while helping you heal, get unstuck, make desired changes and explore who you are, so you can start living the life you wish to lead as your authentic self.

Do you want to simply "survive" in life, or do you want to "thrive" in life? Unfortunately many of us are simply surviving. My name is Bethanne Fetzer. With over two decades in the field of human services I, along with my dedicated staff have created a space coupled with highly effective treatment approaches to help you to live again! We offer services to those who need to heal from: depression, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, trauma, and grief and loss. When we rid our lives of these "toxins", we make room to begin a life journey that we never thought was possible!

When people are experiencing stress, unhappiness, and conflict they often feel like there is no hope. I help individuals work on identifying and processing, triggers, coping with their pain, and moving forward to reach their life goals. I help children, adults, and families focus on their strengths to be able to live their best lives. Individuals may need a variety of ways to achieve this.

I integrate both Western and Eastern techniques and provide clinical tools that connect the mind and body and promote wellness and healing. I take a holistic approach and work collaboratively with you on your journey toward self discovery, growth and healing. I focus on building on your personal strengths, explore balance, self compassion and peace in all areas of life. I use a client-centered, strengths- focused therapeutic approach. I work with adults, children (age 3 and up), adolescents, families and couples.

Life is like a nature hike and sometimes, depending on the terrain, we need a walking stick. I view my role as a therapist as that of the walking stick. I am here to assist you on your journey and offer support in achieving your goal(s). We may examine a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, divorce reaction, LGBTQ2S+, anger, grief boundary-setting and more. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you feel heard, deeply understood and supported to do the work that will provide you with a firmer sense of self.

I value working collaboratively with my clients and from a perspective that values individual strengths. I work to provide a safe, warm, supportive, non-judgmental, and productively challenging environment form my clients to think, explore, and grow. I primarily work from an ACT and CBT approach but I am flexible to cIient needs. I am able to focus on trauma work and I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidenced based treatment for trauma and PTSD. I am also able to take on supervisees who are collecting hours toward licensure as a professional counselor. - My practice is entirely in telehealth. -

I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life. During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life. My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.
