Therapists in Hockessin, DE

My approach to therapy is first to fully understand your difficulties and then work with you to find the best ways to make changes that promote growth and personal fulfillment. I believe that it is crucial for you to feel that therapy is a safe space where together we can explore, examine, and be curious about your experiences and your relationships with other people. In my years of practicing, I have found that many distressing symptoms (such as anxiety and depression) often disappear when people have the opportunity to look closely at their relationships with others.

I offer traditional talk therapy as well as EMDR therapy, both virtually and in person. I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and believe everyone is on an individual path. There is no one size fits all treatment or set of goals. Together, you and I will identify what you would like to see different in your life and how to help you feel better. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and am psychodynamically oriented in my work.

The therapy process is a confidential relationship based on mutual respect and trust. The needs of the individual, couple, and family are addressed via traditional and alternative approaches. Dr. Jemail values good listening, kindness, a nonjudgmental approach and draws from the wisdom of research, experience, as well as, common sense. The goal is to promote healing, growth and independence. Therapy via Doxy, FaceTime or phone sessions are an option depending on circumstances. She will provide as needed support out of session. You can call or email Dr. Jemail to discuss your specific needs.

Accepting new clients! You're here because you’ve exhausted yourself trying to ‘keep it together’. Whether you are stuck ruminating over the past, or you are anxiously worrying about what lies ahead, I use trauma-informed compassion to help disentangle the confusion. Together we will build a therapeutic alliance that supports you, empowers you, and helps you break free from past patterns; life doesn't have to be about pleasing everyone else and neglecting yourself.

Hello! I am Dr. Ritchie I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in three states and I specialize in treating anxiety, OCD, trauma, and chronic stress.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.

Video/phone sessions only at this time. Have you been carrying emotional weight you wish to release?

I feel honored to help my clients express themselves, feel understood, make healthy choices and grow from the beneficial experience that therapy provides!

I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit for you and how challenging that search can feel. My primary focus as your therapist is that you feel understood and seen. I work to provide a safe space for you to feel heard, and a space where it is safe to challenge yourself. We will work within this safe space to make connections regarding how your past impacts your present life and with this awareness we will strive to find peace in the present.

Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of children, teens, and adults with varying life stressors and mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, or work/school stress.
