Strength-Based Therapists in Erie, PA

Life is not an easy road to travel, so let's team up and travel together! There can be a number of things that makes someone's journey more difficult: becoming a new parent, relationship challenges, peer issues, not finding joy in the day to day, a recent traumatic event, or something from the past trying to relive in the current moment.

My name is Amy Kellerman, I am a licensed and board-certified professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, with over 17 years of experience in the human service field and have worked with children, adolescents, teens, adults, older individuals, couples, and families.

Come to terms with the past and change your life for the better. I have spent my professional life helping others heal, change and grow in a therapeutic alliance that provides nurturance, strength, and self-acceptance. A strength based interpersonal treatment modality with integrations of CBT, helping those who are attempting to overcome depression and anxiety. Working together, we will identify your goals, and work out a strategy for lasting change. Offering relief from those suffering from stress related from work, family, or failed relationships.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards self-care. I have great respect for those looking to better their lives and I am here to hold space for people to grow and learn more about themselves. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, working primarily with adults in many areas of concerns. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, marital issues, grief, or just overwhelmed with life, I am here to help.

In a world which can pull a person away from themselves, it is of vital importance to get back into a healthy and honest relationship with yourself. When this alignment happens within self, one tends to find inner balance and life begins to fall into place. I believe that by providing an environment of listening, empathy, non-judgement and validation, a person can get in touch with who they are, who they want to be, how they feel, and what they think and believe. This is where healing begins. I will support you as you rediscover an empowered version of yourself and encourage you in what you need and want in life.

I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, men’s issues, LGBTQ+, self-understanding, and more.

We are all human beings going through the experience of life together, although in the current age, it seems as though there is a movement of separateness, judgment, and shame. Presently, this trend is causing an epidemic of underlying unhappiness. Ask yourself: Am I having problems with the following?: **Getting up and facing the day? **Dealing with "difficult" people in my life? **Being vulnerable and sharing your feelings? ** Navigating romance and intimacy? **Wondering "Who am I?" and " Why am I here?" **Shutting off negative thinking?** Letting go of the need to be right or what "should" be? **Living in the present moment?**

Through my experience working with various populations, all going through some of life’s greatest pains, I aim to provide a safe space for my clients.

In its essence, psychotherapy is the art of healing the soul. As psychotherapists, we care for the soul of the other. Together we can explore and develop new resources for deep transformation to create a healing environment and establish peace, balance, and meaning. Do you want to identify your core strengths/weaknesses, gain greater self-awareness, and work through challenges more effectively? Do you want to understand the function of that Critical Inner Voice, Inner Oberserver, or Shadow? Or, learn how your personality protects you during times of conflict so you can become wiser and drop dysfunctional parts of your personality.

Accepting New Clients for Daytime Virtual Appointments only!. Most of us can identify what we would like to see change in our lives. We often get stuck on how to make the change happen and then become frustrated with continuing to do the same things over and over again. We are all working to do the best we can and sometimes we all need help. I feel counseling is more than just talking about feelings. I believe it is an opportunity to make a lasting change in your life. I utilize several types of evidence based practices including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Hi, my name is Lauren Foster, LCSW and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Temple University.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here! Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies, and many of us have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually.  I believe that everyone is a sexual being, and that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives.  I enjoy working with folks on issues of desire, desire differences in relationships, healing from sexual trauma, sexual behavior that feels out of control, sexual self-esteem and body image, sexual function concerns, kinky and poly experiences, gender-related concerns and more.

Life can be hard at times and trying to figure out how to deal with difficult situations can become overwhelming. During difficult times I believe everyone can benefit from one-on-one support. You have already taken the first step in overcoming these difficult situations by looking for someone to talk to, so congratulations!
