Therapists in Pennsylvania

The goal for all of my clients is to find peace within themselves and begin living a life that they choose. Life circumstances can strip us of our authentic selves and I am here to help you explore and welcome a path of personal wholeness and self acceptance. My approach to therapy is holistic and consists primarily of cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic techniques, self-compassion, and mindfulness. Whether it is mental health, addiction, an unhealthy relationship, stress, trauma or something else, I understand the importance of working with the mind, body and spirit in order to experience complete healing.

I am so glad you are here. Being here is the first step in your healing journey. And taking that first step is one of the bravest things you can do. I specialize in helping with anxiety, health anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, women’s issues, pre-natal/post-natal, burnout, and substance misuse. In addition to somatic work, I use several other modalities in my practice: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. Based on my clients’ needs, my modality may vary. Overall, I’ll use a strengths-based holistic approach, catering to each individual’s personal needs and goals.

I view therapy as an opportunity to better understand yourself as a whole along with addressing concerns in your life. When we take time to explore how we act, think, and feel we are able to access new parts of ourselves and new perspectives on life. The process of therapy can be powerful. I can offer this opportunity for you to explore yourself & possible changes in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, & welcoming environment. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, which means YOU are the expert and we work together to offer you healing. I am happy to provide letters for gender affirming surgeries for Trans/GNC folx.

Hi there! Are you longing to (re)connect with your inner bright light and realize your own innate ability to heal? Feeling disconnected from your body and your intuitive Self? You may be exploring your identity, struggling to move forward from the past, or are looking for different ways to cope. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with mood dysregulation , depression/anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, and those who want to see themselves in a more empowering light. You are more than your trauma- I help my clients unlock who they truly are and rewrite their own narratives.

Are you ready to make changes to manage life's ups and downs more effectively? Do you just feel like you need someone to really listen to you and help you figure out how to untangle issues? Are you in a situation where you feel like no one understands what you are going through? Anxiety, depression, and a multitude of other conditions reduce our ability to feel whole and effective in our own lives. My goal is to walk with you through the healing process so that you arrive at a new perspective, emboldened by your own internal compass and power.

Hi there! I'm Chelsea - I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. One thing that I've learned across my practice is that sometimes life circumstances, relationships, past memories/experiences - can make us feel stuck. Stuck in our pasts, stuck in current situations, and stuck in our heads at times. My goal as your therapist is to create a collaborative effort where we work to meet your treatment goals together. You don't have to figure everything out on your own - I think it's important for us to normalize that :)

Life difficulties can propel us forward or they can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, angry and depressed. They can also take a toll on our interpersonal relationships. They can make us feel like our entire life is out of balance. I invite you to a safe environment where you can openly process difficult life experiences so that you can live a more fulfilling life with more meaningful relationships. I work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced trauma. I work from a core belief that our minds and body are interconnected. Past traumatic experiences get stored in our bodies and physical symptoms can manifest.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are. - B. Brown - Sometimes finding compassion for oneself as well as others seems an insurmountable achievement. When life feels overwhelming and out of our control, people tend to shutdown, become numb until an experience brings everything to the surface and we overreact. We guilt ourselves and/or blame others and can get stuck in this cycle which keeps us separate from believing we can safely experience our own emotions and leaves us unable to tolerate the emotions of others.

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”.

I am accepting new clients and couples therapy work. I am a authentic person in therapy with you. I am along with you on the path to change. Change is always frightening. Think about if you were not experiencing fear, what would you do? Who would you be if you were not ashamed or afraid or depressed? Be the change you desire in your life! Common Issues addressed in therapy: Creating healthy boundaries with relationships, communication and conflict, healing from painful and abusive relationships, identifying your own sense of self and your emotional needs, depression and anxiety.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here. Life can be overwhelming and at times lead us to feeling lost, drained and hopeless. Struggles such as body image issues, disordered eating, anxiety and ADHD can further complicate everyday life and provide barriers to reaching your full potential. My approach as a therapist is to support you in identifying your strengths and building upon them to find a sense of direction, hope and peace. I enjoy helping clients develop skills for achieving goals of change and growth and guiding you through this process collaboratively.

All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.
