In a nutshell, I help stressed out and depressed individuals, struggling and troubled couples, and those who put themselves last. If you feel stuck, or are tired of recycling the same unresolved issues and patterns, therapy can help you develop effective strategies for coping with and overcoming these issues. And in the process, you can also create healthier daily living habits (e.g., exercise, meditation) and reset your goals and path.

I am very excited to have an opportunity to work with you to overcome your struggles and meet the goals that you want to achieve. My work with you and your loved ones will encompass exploring emotions, behaviors, experiences, and your needs. Over my 18 years of practice in the mental health field and doctoral level training, I have learned how to assist individuals, couples, groups, children, and families in learning essential skills to improve and grow, leading them to changes that have positively impacted their lives.

**Dr. Almendras is currently not accepting new clients.** Many of us have gone through times in which we feel stuck, unmotivated, or not feeling as if we have fulfilled our potential. Psychotherapy brings hope for a life of greater fulfillment and living up to one's potential. It provides us with a space where insight becomes possible and to experience the opportunity for a relationship that is dedicated to knowing you deeply. It is my belief that we work side by side on your journey to uncover your motivations, fears and hopes so that you can feel empowered in your path towards finding your authentic self.

Are you looking for a warm, accepting, non-judgmental experience that guides you toward concrete and meaningful changes in your life? I work with adults, couples and adolescents presenting with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating concerns, low self-esteem, relational problems, ADHD, adjusting to specific stressors, and grief/loss. I am also bi-lingual, fluent in both English and Spanish.

You miss your old, capable self. Now your days are busy with appointments, interrupted by the side effects of your disease or treatment, and flooded with emotions. Life is sometimes difficult, but chronic illness has made your circumstances even more complicated. You're so tired of feeling lost and waiting for life to return to normal. As others dismiss your concerns with well-meaning statements of hope or offers of vague promises of help, your isolation grows. Hopelessness and fear creep in. You know you need support or guidance, but figuring out who or what will be helpful feels overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

It can be difficult to take the initial step to contact a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable and supported.

We all have struggles. Despite our best efforts/intentions, those struggles can leave us feeling overwhelmed and we don't even understand how we got here. I want to help you explore and address your concerns, by encouraging a sense of curiosity and humor, when appropriate. Rather than approach our troubles with fear, let’s look at them with interest – be curious about ourselves, how we came to be who/how we are. Learning to be curious about ourselves and the challenges we face, finding humor and grace along the way, allows us to be less judgmental and feel less ashamed of ourselves/our struggles – and move forward on solid ground.

Many find psychotherapy useful as a space to explore stressors and difficulties, learn new ways to cope with hardships, and ultimately make changes to enhance quality of life. I remain focused on providing support to each client and incorporate techniques aimed to alleviate distress, foster resilience, and help one move closer to achieving their goals. I utilize an integrative approach including person-centered, supportive, CBT, and/or psychodynamic techniques, always tailoring my style to meet each client's unique needs.

Change happens one decision at a time. If you are feeling hopeless, confused, frustrated, stuck, or stressed, I can help. Most of my clients see me because they are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or relational/marital conflict. Others see me to gain insight and understanding to a life transition or temporary problem. I provide a safe and warm environment for my clients to feel validated, understood, encouraged, and hopeful. I use evidence-based and goal-directed treatments. I am passionate about working with people to reach their potential and flourish. Therapy within a Christian framework is offered upon request.

*Not currently accepting new clients* If it's taboo, I want to talk about it. I like to keep it real—laughter, tears, swear words. These are all useful tools in therapy, and in life. Therapy is more than me asking, “How do you feel about that?” Therapy can inspire growth, change, and self-acceptance. It is a discussion. A process. An adventure (even if it’s a f*cking messy one). I can’t promise you that it won’t be a bumpy ride—the road of personal growth is often anything but smooth. But I can promise you this: I value the role I will play in your journey and I will be there for every (messy, unpleasant) step of the way.

As a clinical social worker, I have spent over a decade working with children, adults, and families who are seeking change. Aiming to meet each person "where they are", I am passionate about helping people to gain insight into their situation, make changes, and move forward with success! I have spent a great deal of time helping those with anxiety disorders discover the tools necessary to overcome challenges. Identifying goals and objectives is imperative for growth.

*Accepting new clients!* You are so tired of merely existing. You want to find self-acceptance, but sometimes you struggle with knowing what that "self" even is. You feel like you don't belong anywhere and that everyone around you has abandoned you. You feel like you are doing all of this alone. You are in pain and no one around you even knows--because you refuse to let them see it. Or you don't want to be a burden. But you know deep down you can't keep going like this, because you're a pressure cooker and you just need some relief. Or some guidance. Or SOMETHING. You may feel like you face rejection everywhere--but not here.

Greetings! Do you feel yourself worried much of the time? Having low thoughts of self, lacking motivation, or feeling stuck? Seeking help is always the first step, and you made it. My name is Grant Fisher and I am currently a pre-licensed clinician working PA wide via telehealth and in the office at Clarity Psychological Services in Wexford, PA. I work based on a self pay basis with a sliding scale to ensure a wide scope of individuals can receive the help they deserve.

Life can be overwhelming, stressful and confusing. I get that. Sometimes we all need a little help navigating through the rough waters. I will listen to your concerns and hear what you are saying and notice what you are not saying. I will help you identify new coping skills to deal with the specific life difficulties you are facing. I view therapy as a journey that you and I will take together to figure things out in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.

Hi my name is Rhonda and I am here to help! Struggling with issues that cause frustration and stress in your life? In need of guidance and encouragement to tackle problems? Suffer no more! Take action, call today for help to begin your healing process. I am a nonjudgemental mental health professional who can guide you and your family in a positive, productive direction. Your mental health is a valuable investment in your quality of life.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to “find themselves” or who feels that who they are “on the outside” is different than who they are “inside.” Perhaps they're looking to find more meaning in life, personally, professionally, or both. They might not know where to start, in terms of being happier and more fulfilled, but that is their general goal. They want to grow as a person, but perhaps need help with motivation, or implementation. They're in the midst of, or foresee major life changes, and feel challenged or overwhelmed. They might need to talk, and to learn skills to help them adapt to the changes in their lives.

I am committed to guiding individuals toward inspired changes in a safe place without judgment. For over twenty years I've helped adults with anxiety, depression, personality concerns, and relationship concerns. Each of us has unique needs, but can find new mindfulness and empowering self-awareness. Mindfulness can be a state of liberating awareness and also an active practice. It can promote psychological flexibility, a return to the present moment and the resolving of complex trauma-related problems. In the words of Clarice Lispector, "Life is for anyone who is brave enough to risk and humble enough to learn."

Life can be very stressful, and different things may bring someone to therapy. I provide a safe place to explore and learn, as I offer my compassion and support through your journey. I have a lot of experience with stress and/or trauma, as well as relationship issues. I tend to be gentle, compassionate, offer solutions and homework assignments, but realize deep down you have the answers, and are hard wired to heal under the right circumstances. I see primarily individuals and couples due to my schedule being strictly daytime (business hours)
