Therapists in Yardley, PA

Are you struggling with body image, your relationship to food, or an eating disorder? Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts? I can help. I strive to build a trusting relationship with everyone I work with that allows for space to talk through difficult life experiences. I will never label behavior or coping skills as bad or maladaptive. Instead, we will identify the ways these things have helped you cope & survive, and explore if there are other coping skills that will help you in a different way. We will work together to identify your strengths, heal emotional wounds, and express emotions.

Since finishing my degree in 2012, I have worked for Council for Relationships as a staff therapist in the Oxford Valley Mall office, and since 2017 in their Lawrenceville office. I have been fortunate to have worked with a broad spectrum of couples and families struggling with life transitions and relationships concerns, as well as with individuals struggling with anxiety/depression, grief and loss, and life or work stress. I am certified to provide online video therapy to clients in PA, and have extra training to help Military families, both active and retired.

I am a practicing social worker of 14 years with my LCSW and experience in behavioral health, substance abuse, neuroscience, telemetry, end of life, crisis and trauma. I have worked in several settings to include residential, inpatient medical and behavioral and out patient. I believe therapy is about a joining of client and therapist that requires trust and a non judgmental therapeutic alliance. My objective is to help you find your own voice, reach your your potential and succeed by using treatment methods that are best suited to your reasons for seeking treatment.

All persons are unique and valuable deserving of respect and dignity. I have worked with all age groups in many settings (including Jewish Community Centers, Wraparound, prison, outpatient therapy) with individuals, families and with groups. My Masters degree is in Social Work and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both PA and NJ. I am EMDR trained (a therapy which has proven to be very successful with single incident trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). EMDR is currently being used for a variety of concerns including Anxiety, Depression and pain ailments such as Fibromyalgia and Migraine Headaches.

I perceive my work as a psychotherapist as more privilege than profession. I work with people who need help identifying the obstacles that keep them from evolving and growing. Living with depression and anxiety inhibits a person from feeling emotional fulfillment and interferes with how people relate to themselves and others. We need a safe place in which to look at ourselves without fear of judgment and criticism. Feeling safe and supported leads to self acceptance, and growth. I provide guidance within such an environment.

Sometimes therapy can be an intimidating and frightening venture. It can, however, be an incredibly uplifting and empowering experience. Therapy involves a willingness to change behaviors or thoughts that might be disruptive to the individual. Changing those patterns may be daunting, but many times, people realize that these behaviors are not helpful and new behaviors need to be learned. In my practice, I have seen many people accomplish change and improve their lives.

I am the director of the Langhorne office of Council for Relationships. Throughout my 27 years of practice, I have assisted individuals, couples, and families overcome the emotional barriers that maybe hindering their lives as well as improve the quality of their important relationships. I enjoy working with a broad range of clients. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can openly express and explore their feelings. I offer strategies to help people accomplish their goals. Excellent clinical care is provided. My policy is to respond quickly because I realize taking the first step is often a difficult one.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years' experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I work with clients of all races, backgrounds and ages, from adolescents to the elderly, addressing depression, anxiety, communication problems, the impact of chronic illness, and the aftermath of trauma, including sexual abuse and marital infidelity. I counsel families with children experiencing learning and social problems in school; LGBTQ and heterosexual couples preparing for marriage or coping with relationship stress; and parents seeking to improve communication with their adolescent and adult children. I practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

When one decides to seek therapy it is often something that has been on the mind for some time. Perhaps you have been contemplating making a change in yourself, your relationships, or overall life direction. Change can be daunting and current patterns are comfortable. Change is often avoided until something happens in life resulting in a realization that now is the time to act. If you are reading this, you are one step closer to acting and changing. Let me assist you in your decision to live the life you want to live.

If you're looking here, you've decided it's time to figure out something--maybe a difficult relationship, a chronic health problem or a cancer diagnosis. Perhaps you've been through some hard experiences in the past that you want to understand so they don't interfere with your present life. Or maybe you struggle with anxiety or depression. I believe the therapy relationship is collaborative. Our therapy can help you more deeply understand your own feelings and behaviors so you can better cope and be fulfilled in your life and relationships.

The connection one makes with their therapist is what makes or breaks the progress that can be made in therapy. I pride myself in my ability to connect with my clients. If you feel you can’t seem to find the right connection for yourself or your child, I’m the guy to call! I don't treat a diagnosis, disability, or disorder...I treat people. I believe anyone and everyone can benefit from the therapeutic process, if they put the necessary work in. Remember, a healthy mind can have a global impact on one's emotional and physical well being.
