Teletherapy for Pennsylvania

At the heart of making positive changes in our life is examining our thought processes and beliefs about ourselves, our relationships and the world around us in general. Whether you are seeking individual or couples counseling, navigating current challenges, struggling with past trauma or difficult emotions, your mental fitness is foundational to your success.

There comes a day when we find ourselves in a place we never, ever expected to be. We face some painful realities and make very difficult decisions and choices. Later, we look back on our decisions and realize we could have done things better, or differently. What is important is what we do with what we have learned from those mistakes and how to deal with the guilt and shame that goes with it. Successful therapy involves a commitment to heal and become strong, stable and able to put our wounds where they might be appropriately placed. Not as defense shields to distort realities, but instead, to live the life we all desire.

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

I work with individuals, couple and families experiencing relational difficulties. I am particularly interested in those struggling in recovery from various addictions and in particular sexual addiction and compulsivity. I have over 25 years experience in this area. I also have extensive experience in working with families and adolescents.

I have been doing this work for 25 years. I have gained a lot of experience in that time. I draw from a lot of my own personal experience as well as all the people that I have worked with over the years. I have a background in Jungian Psychology. I feel that the human spirit is an important component to consider in therapy. People come to therapy because they are not happy. I see my job as helping my clients discover the blocks to their happiness and helping them to remove these blocks. The goal of therapy, I believe, is to become happy and to find joy, fulfillment and meaning in life.

Addiction psychology, alcohol and drug counseling is what we do. I am unusual as a director of this practice because I am 1) a psychologist 2) a certified alcohol and drug counselor and 3) I'm over 30 years sober myself but 4) I don't insist that people be sober if they don't want to be or aren't ready. This approach is called, "harm reduction". While we offer counseling for compulsive behaviors like, gambling, internet, computer and gaming addictions, our focus is relationships, depression, anxiety and other mental health & psychological treatment & counseling. We each have specific specialties and practice very similarly.

My mission in therapy is to respect each client, and walk with them at their healing pace, I believe if we walk together on this healing journey life will be better.

Are you feeling frustrated in your marriage? Are you tired of having the same fight over and over again without anything changing? Do you have sexual concerns? With over a decade of clinical experience in treating couples who are struggling to connect emotionally and resolve conflicts, I understand how frustrating relationship problems can get. At the same time I also understand how difficult and even embarrassing it can be to call a counselor and admit that your relationship needs some help. But let me assure you that the discomfort of reaching out for help is well worth it.

I help people make sense of life. My background is in the clinical-health/mental health field, and I'm also an ordained minister. That means my background allows me to assist you right where you are, not by any preconceived ideas of what you should or shouldn't be doing. My primary source of counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT). This is a method of discovering together how the decisions you've made in the past, or the circumstances you've lived through, have brought you to where you are. It's not about blame - it's about helping you to empower yourself to have the life worth living you are seeking.
