Sexual Abuse Therapists in Phoenixville, PA

Life can be difficult. Are you feeling anxious, emotional or angry and don't know why? Feeling overwhelmed but don't know what to do? Perhaps there is a specific issue weighing you down. I offer a safe space to explore whatever might be troubling you.

Since starting in the field about 20 years ago, I have had the privilege of working therapeutically with diverse populations in various clinics, hospitals, and schools. Over the past several years I have focused on treating clinical and forensic clients through my private practice. I am currently accepting new clients to be seen either virtually or in person at my office in Phoenixville, PA.

If you struggle with distressing emotions, find yourself repeating unwanted behaviors, or feel just plain stuck: welcome. You're not alone and you're certainly not without help. I guide individuals seeking confidence, clarity, and a resolute sense of self. In our work together, you can discover that you have the innate qualities of a leader to navigate anything in life.

Welcome folks! I am a queer therapist who focuses on working with folks surviving trauma and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Experiencing trauma of any kind can have a profound effect on the way you view yourself, the world, and others. My primary focus as your counselor is creating a sense of safety, and prioritizing connection with you as a person. Healing from trauma is challenging, and my goal is to allow for a space that is both repairing and empowering. It can also be challenging to find therapists that are truly LGBTQIA+ affirming. I work hard to create an inclusive environment that allows you to explore your identity.

Are your relationships stressing you out? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells, afraid to tell people no? Do you find yourself saying yes out of guilt or obligation? I help adult children of emotionally immature parents process childhood wounds and move forward with peace, confidence, and self-compassion.

Welcome to PHH at the Heart Counseling and Wellness. We offer a holistic therapeutic experience that is customized to meet each client where they are and evolve with each client on their healing journey. Healing is not a linear process, and we are here to provide the skills and coping tools to navigate each person’s experience. We incorporate complementary therapies and offer donation-based weekly yoga and meditation classes.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious or discouraged? Feeling unfulfilled or overwhelmed? Are there issues from the past that seem to intrude into your present life? Do you isolate and avoid? Are you experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, relationships, work or sleep issues? You can find relief and move forward in your life. Looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation? Are you considering a move in a new direction?

In working with children and adolescents (ages 5-17) you accept the responsibility of meeting with a population who may not have consented to therapy. Although guardians act within the child's best interest, the intervention may not be something the adolescent supports at the time. With this understanding, my primary goal is to simply connect regardless of who walks through that door. Progress cannot occur without a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. To ensure this result, I rely on genuineness and transparency with the client. My extensive experience, both as a School Counselor and Therapist, lead my counseling direction

My name is Jess, I have experience working with adults, teens, adolescents, children & family systems. My specialties are treating trauma related disorders, adolescent and teen adjustment issues, emotional & behavioral regulation concerns, grief/loss and identity development. I also specialize in treating anxiety and depression. I am trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR). I utilize Psychodynamic, Emotion Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and techniques to help clients recognize, accept, and cope with feelings generated by their past and present experiences.

I believe that the most important and healing aspect of therapy is the relationship I develop with each of my clients. Whether you are seeking therapy for help with a specific problem or general dissatisfaction with your life, my first goal is always to establish an atmosphere of trust and openness so that you can talk freely about yourself. Therapy is not a quick fix, but sometimes even a few sessions can give you a different perspective. Being truly listened to is an experience people find very helpful from the very beginning.

You may not be able to put your finger on it, but there is something is wrong. You work hard to do the right things, but there is a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction. It’s as if you only exist to help others. You take on extra assignments at work even if you’re already overwhelmed. You’re always the one friends ask for favors and advice. Your family relies on you to keep everything running smoothly, and you do it all without complaining. But lately, you’ve begun to wonder what it’s all for. You want so desperately to take a moment to figure out what you want, but so many people are counting on you, and you can’t let them down.

At The Art of Emotion, we believe in a collaborative approach to therapy.

Something has to change and you are ready for it! This is not how you want to continue living your life. Maybe you are feeling completely overwhelmed with anxiety, desperate to break old patterns, and/or ready to process difficult life experiences. I am here to support your journey with a very individualized and holistic approach. My style is warm, collaborative, direct, and down to earth. As a systemic licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I will help guide you in uncovering the root of the issues by exploring your foundational relationships and experiences and then work together to create sustainable change.

In therapy, I try to understand and accept each person. That builds the client's self-esteem. Then I work together with the client to find the unique solution to his or her trouble, whether it's depression, or anxiety, or relationship problems. Different people need different kinds of help, so I don't limit myself to one kind of therapy. I'm trained in several, so the client and I pick the methods we think will help him or her the most. The relationship is one of mutual respect moving forward to overcome an obstacle to the client's happiness.

As a psychologist, counselor, and evaluator, I look at sessions as a collaborative process. Together we work towards making the changes my clients desire so that they experience more contentment, peace, satisfaction and success. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps people learn skills that last a lifetime. I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years experience as a counselor, therapist, and diagnostician, and am active in training therapists.

If you have had an experience that seems traumatic to you despite what others may think or say, or any extremely stressful life challenge recently or in the past, I specialize in helping with these issues. If there is something you have never shared with anyone or are frightened by the prospect of disclosing what you've carried for a long time, I am here to listen. The impact of distressing experiences may result in extreme anxiety or fear, episodes of depression, repeated difficulties in personal or family relationships and even physical health issues. Emotional experiences during developmental years may result in complex PTSD.

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”.

The world we live in is complicated and ever-changing, and the patterns we develop to address the challenges of life often cease to work for us...in fact, no strategy for living, relating to others, or to ourselves can ever work optimally forever. A depression, a personal life crisis, marital upsets and family conflicts are painful but often signal an important opportunity for self-reflection, assessment of "where I've been" in life, and the chance to create a new pathway for moving forward. This is where an expert therapist can be of value.
