Self-Harming Therapists in Mount Pocono, PA

As a Licensed Psychologist in Pennsylvania (PS17062) and New York (018709), and a School Psychologist (since 1993), I offer best-practice psychological treatment from multiple modalities, and have vast clinical experiences with adjustment issues (with school and work), stress, PTSD, Trauma and Recovery, and personal growth. I offer individual, couples and family therapy, and have helped many from diverse cultural backgrounds. Therapy is a process of self-observation, self-reflection and curiosity to live, love and learn well.

This might feel like a difficult first step in getting yourself the help you want and need. It is never easy prioritizing YOU when everything around you seems to be falling apart. I would like to help you on your journey to self-actualization, towards the person you are truly meant to be and towards the person you always knew you were. This therapeutic journey is about discovering and exploring together, as a team, which direction you want to go. As the driver, you will direct the sessions, but as the passenger, I will be there to assist and guide you along the way.

**I offer sliding scale pricing** I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices both in New York and Pennsylvania. My experiences include working with clients from different backgrounds and with different presenting problems, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, suicidality, mood and eating disorders. My learning has been shaped through my experiences working with adolescents, and adults who face daily struggles and challenges in their lives.

I am a masters level therapist that enjoys supporting individuals in reaching their personal goals. I believe in meeting a person where they are. In my therapeutic approach, I take a strength-based approach. I would like each of my clients to feel empowered and confident in their ability to maneuver through their therapeutic journey. I believe the things that we go through in life do not define us; they just shape us. People are resilient and have the ability and strength to overcome obstacles. With support, a desire to overcome/work through your challenges, and positive coping mechanisms, you can succeed.

First off, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. In my time as a counselor/therapist I have found that the process of selecting a therapist is at best awkward, and at worst terrifying. People simply don’t wake-up feeling upset one day and think, “Wow, I feel yucky, I think I will talk to a therapist.” More often than not a therapist is considered as a last resort, or after coming to a conclusion of, “I don’t know what else to do.”

We are a team of bilingual Licensed Clinical and Master level Social Workers who practice both in New York and Pennsylvania. Our experiences include working with clients from different backgrounds and with different presenting problems, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, suicidality, mood and eating disorders. Our learning has been shaped through diverse experiences working with adolescents, and adults who face daily struggles and challenges in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience working in the field of mental health and behavioral health since 2003. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues, and other mental health/behavioral health issues. I also helped people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I consider myself an eclectic psychotherapist. I believe that no one individual is the same as another, therefore treatment should be personalized.

Society confronts us all with challenges that are complicated by daily stressors and expectations from family, work and the community. Social media has become an avenue to connect with people, but also opened the doors to connections that complicate the way we see ourselves and how we acquiesce. Although we experience undesirable emotions at times, emotions provide an opportunity to promote change and build resilience. My goal is to assist individuals/families with identifying problems that hinder success and create solutions that promote a positive self perception. It is possible to feel better even though things seem hopeless.

I believe that every person is a unique story that is being written. Each day is a new opportunity to develop healthy habits to unlock your full potential. I use a strengths-based approach to build upon skills you didn't even know you have! My orientation is primarily Person-Centered, and I use techniques of CBT to change damaging thought patterns into healthy ones. We will develop a collaborative partnership to embark in process of self-discovery and growth. My role is to guide you using my expertise/training to assist you in traveling on your exciting journey of growth and self-awareness. Why not take the first step today?

Hannah Kim, MS, LCPC, NCC at Inspirations Counseling provides individual therapy services to adolescents and adults by offering a safe and encouraging space that supports clients through establishing self-empowerment to overcome their challenges in life. I work with individuals who are ready to invest in their mental health and I make it my goal as a therapist to help each individual make healthy behavioral and cognitive changes that increase the quality of life.

Making the decision to begin psychotherapy can be difficult. "Am I really crazy?", "My parents want me to go" or "The last time I went it was useless," are typical obstacles that prevent someone from scheduling the first session. Therapy is making the first step towards improved self awareness. I point out to clients that therapy becomes a weekly safe place, away from their busy schedules, to focus solely on yourself. When this happens people are often surprised at what they discover.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987

There have been a lot of changes in the past two years. With those changes, I have witnessed an increase in depression and anxiety of those around me. If this describes you, I am here to help. I am available to help anyone who is looking to increase their coping skills and get back to enjoying their lives. I utilize evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address how someone's thoughts are interfering with achieving their goals. We set small, baby steps each week to work towards obtaining their treatment goal, and will evaluate barriers to their success.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have worked in the mental health field for over six years with individuals of different needs, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, self-harming, etc. I also have experience working with individuals who have dealt with trauma in their childhood and issues within relationships. You've spent a lot of time trying to manage these symptoms. At times, you can tell yourself, "Yes, I got this."
