Today, you are one step closer to feeling more empowered and embarking on a positive path that leads to personal growth and well-being. Greetings, I am Dr. Miller, a psychodynamic therapist and counselor. I provide therapy to adults, children (aged 6+ years), adolescents, couples, groups, and families. My key objective is to assist you to realize your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating, and this is best achieved by using an eclectic, integrative approach.

Welcome! My name is Nara Pezolano and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) in Pennsylvania with over 18 years of professional mental health experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, motivation, relationship issues, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, personality and mood disorders, anxiety & depression, grief, and end of life issues. I take an eclectic, person-centered approach where you are in the driver seat in your own recovery.

I am skilled in helping people with trauma issues, depression, addiction and dealing with major life changes. If you have been dealing with these and are feeling ashamed, guilty, hopeless, or afraid, I can help you. You will have a warm, safe office setting with a therapist who will not judge you, and will treat you with the compassion and respect you deserve.

Many of my clients have come to me after being diagnosed fully believing that their lives were over. Mental health issues do not define who you are as a person. They are just a small part of why we react in particular situations, in specific ways. I have a passion to help my clients and their families to discover not only how to overcome their mental health issues, but to thrive despite their mental health issues.

Everyone is deserving of a life of peace and genuine happiness! My ideal clients are those that are looking to work towards that life through personal growth and healing! Does that sound like something you are looking for? Through an honest and passionate approach, I want to help you navigate your experiences and challenges, while creating an opportunity for you to enjoy the process as much as possible. I understand that seeking out therapy can be intimidating, but you are already making steps towards finding that genuine happiness and peace that you deserve!

Therapy is not a long-term, drawn-out process. Some individuals may need extensive therapy, but most need help at particular times of crisis or when they realize that they need another perspective on themselves or their relationships with their husband or wife, children, family, co-workers, or friends. My approach begins with the here and now, and I assist clients in developing concrete ways to overcome issues standing in their way. My belief echoes the old saying, "You are not the problem; the problem is the problem.

Change can be difficult. At times, not changing can be harder. Deciding to explore therapy is a wonderful first step. I can help you set and accomplish goals to determine how to move from that difficult place, to where you want to be.

Do you have a son who is having behavior issues at home and/or in school? Are their grades suffering? Are they isolating? Are they having trouble making or keeping friends? As an adult male, are you having trouble communicating wth your intimate partner, boss, co-workers, friends? Do you feel misunderstood and are unsure why? Are you feeling stress due to work related issues or relationship issues? As a boyfriend, husband or father, are you having trouble managing life's daily stressors (family, financial relationships, etc.)? These are common problems we all face at some point or another.

Creating intentional space in life to focus on mental/emotional health, finding balance & peace is not a waste of time, its' a necessity! Therapy works, but 1st you have to find a therapist you can build trust with and where you feel understood. In the words of C.S. Lewis "You can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending” -C.S. Lewis. I can help you recognize patterns, process trauma (I'm an EMDR Therapist), explore unresolved/suppressed experiences that might be causing barriers, identify the joys and stressors in your life, and help you build healthy relationships.

Sometimes we do everything right and still end up feeling anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied in our day-to-day lives. This can leave us wondering: What am I doing wrong? What’s missing? Therapy creates a space to better understand ourselves and the way our past impacts our present. In sessions, we will uncover emotional and relational patterns that contribute to an overall feeling of dissatisfaction in life. This will provide us with the roadmap to help you build a life that feels full, joyful, and meaningful to you.

Life can be challenging and it is our job to provide you with the tools to cope well with whatever difficulties/demands life may present to you. We have appointments available as of April 2024. At Evergreen Counseling & Wellness, we tailor therapy to your needs and strengths to help you achieve realistic goals. We want you to feel you can handle whatever is thrown your way. We believe that establishing a healthy, supportive therapeutic relationship & providing an environment where you feel safe and able to openly express yourself without feeling judged is critical to heal and grow.

There are so many moments in life where we feel stuck, overwhelmed by our circumstances or feel like our fears and anxieties have too tight a hold on us. Sometimes we need a little extra support to work through these feelings and experiences to move us towards healing. As a therapist, I believe that true healing begins with understanding. My practice stems from a trauma-informed and social justice lens using principles of empathy, active listening, and genuine curiosity to help you better understand yourself and move towards the change you want in your life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience in outpatient, intensive outpatient and residential settings. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents.

My clients are dreaming of a better world but feel stuck in a world that is causing them great pain. They are passionate about change, both for themself and for the world around them, but might not know where or how to start. If this sounds like you, I want to offer you support in figuring out what change can even look like and how to reach towards it. I can't offer you "the answers" but I can offer you my belief in your ability to change yourself and your world, if you choose it. I view this change process as starting with self, connecting with community, and finally engaging in systems change.

Entering counseling is about developing a therapeutic relationship with the client. With that in mind, I make every effort to engage clients by first getting to know them and their needs. I believe that for change to occur for clients, they need to trust that their therapist is trustworthy, sincere and supportive. My experience includes working with people who present with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse and career related concerns. Over years, I work with diversity as a primary focus and have experience working with LGBTQ, Hispanic Americans, Asian, African American community members.

At some point in their life, an individual may struggle to cope with overwhelming challenges, ranging from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, intrusive thoughts, to trauma or emotional dysregulation. My goal is to equip individuals with a plethora of tools in order to help them manage these life-changing struggles. These tools may include coping strategies, improving social skills, managing intrusive thoughts, or anger management strategies. I am passionate about helping individuals live up to their full potential. I provide individual, couples, family therapy, and I also provide child custody evaluation services.

Stephanie has over 10 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families experiencing trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
