Aki Jamal Durham
Pastoral Counselor, MA
Your relationships are your greatest gifts, as they are the key to your contentment, be they personal or professional in nature. If you lack peace within the context of your relationships then you are sure to be experiencing a similar level of dis-ease over the entire expanse of your existence. The well-being of your mind, body and spirit as a spouse, a parent, an employee, friend, neighbor, sibling and so on are all predicated on how well you are doing on an interpersonal level in each of those roles. Seeking work/life balance, familial harmony, or individual growth requires that we take a relational inventory.
Debra Stoll
LPC, NCC, CEAT, EMDR
We are all born with purpose, meaning and the unique capacity to live abundantly. Yet, life stressors and other environmental factors create obstacles that seem to produce insurmountable barriers to achieving one's dreams of a happy and fulfilling life. Choosing a psychotherapist to help clear the obstacles out of the way is an important first step in discovering one's authentic self and living life purposefully. My approach to therapy is holistic, person-centered, trauma-informed, and depth oriented with the goal being authentic self-discovery.

Jennifer Ann Barker
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-BC, CGP
Verified
Although we cannot change our past, we can acknowledge its impact and change how we view it and ourselves. While working with clients, I encourage expression to gain self-awareness and to reshape narratives. Expression is essential in everyday life, especially when working through difficult times, such as grief and trauma. I practice therapy with a person-centered, trauma-informed, strength based approach to meet clients where they are and to help them make changes to start the healing process. As an Art Therapist, I have the ability to bring artmaking into the therapy session and to help facilitate the healing process.

I view each client as I believe God sees them, created in God’s image with infinite worth and dignity. I respect each person’s world and life view, and do my best to try to understand their world from their framework. No matter how hopeless, anxious, wounded, or down on yourself, or pleased with yourself you may be, I respect the courage you have to decide to pick up the phone to make an appointment. I provide a safe place where you can be heard and accepted before we form a path forward together. YOU are the ONLY expert of your experience. I have some education and professional experience, but together we work toward your goals.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable” - Fred Rogers Sometimes we all need someone to help process through every day struggles, whether it be struggles with relationships, identity, work, or school. I work primarily from a cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered and dialectical behavioral therapy approach and work to figure out the “why” behind emotions, help build awareness to emotions, reframe faulty thinking and find positive solutions to every day problems.

Welcome! You've completed the first step towards healing, you're here!

Danielle Bitner
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
There are situations in life when you may feel it's too difficult to handle things on your own. Sometimes family and friends are unable to give you the guidance or insight that you may need to resolve or manage your problem. It's in these times that therapy can help. I have successfully treated a wide-range of issues including, but not limited to; grief, loss, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders. I have also successfully worked with couples who are dealing with infidelity and/or communication issues.
Sarah Ludwig
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
We are often told to “just get over it”. Although often well-intentioned, this saying is neither helpful or realistic. It is my firm belief that we don’t “get over” things, but we make meaning and learn to live with our experiences. As a certified EMDR therapist, I take pride in helping people do just that. Trauma impacts us all in unique ways and EMDR can help people achieve a variety of their personal goals related to healing, growth, and becoming “unstuck” from past experiences. From minor to major traumas, I am committed to helping you overcome your past and look forward to your future without fear and distress.
Connections Counseling of Western Pennsylvania
Licensed Professional Counselor, M Div, MS, LPC, NBCC
Verified
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. In particular, I work with individuals (and their families) impacted by traumatic stress. I would describe traumatic stress as an "unhealed wound." These wounds can manifest themselves in disruptive behaviors, defiance, anxiety, depression, struggles with focus, aggression, self-injury, perfectionism and substance use. When wounds are triggered it is common for the person to engage in a fight, flight, or freeze response. The trauma oriented work that I offer assists people of all ages to engage in more effective responses to their wounds. The fight, flight, or freeze response goes away.

Hayley Peterson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH

I believe that for counseling to be effective, you and I must collaborate on creating and achieving your counseling goals and assessing your progress. It is hoped that through counseling you will be able to gain insight into your issues, develop coping skills and resources, and a more positive outlook on life and its daily activities. Every individual is different. Therefore, the approach that I take with your concerns is based on the information you provide along with my assessment during our first session.
