Developing a trusting and supportive relationship is my highest priority. I want you to feel empowered by our work together and confident that you can continue to feel good for a long time. I will listen to your personal story and understand your goals and values. Then, I will teach you tools and strategies personalized for you, and we will practice them during and between sessions. We will reflect on your progress to make sure you are reaching your goals and living the life that you want. I work with adults, adolescents and college students.

Are you feeling squeezed in the caregiver sandwich? Feeling stuck between the responsibilities of work and family can be even more overwhelming when all of your tasks seem focused on caregiving. Does everyone want something, and they want it from you - right now? Of course you feel anxious and stressed. You might care for children, parents, your partner, or patients, and maybe a combination of those. That's the caregiver sandwich for sure, and it often feels pressured, lonely, and downright frustrating. Maybe you've started to feel like you're not even "you" anymore - just someone who exists to give everything they have to others.

Are you feeling the weight of stress, depression, or anxiety? I'm here to help. I understand that you may be seeking support to cope with the daily struggles of life. You're looking for someone who can provide guidance and practical solutions, someone who truly comprehends the challenges you face. Your goal is clear - to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. Let's work together to make that a reality.

My goal is to help you get un-stuck. I work with people in their 20s-40s dealing with things like anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief. The stress response helps keep us alive, but when we get stuck there we start to feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Not only do I want to help you explore thoughts, gain insight, and empower you to feel confident in your decisions, I want to help your body finally feel safe and grounded. I want to help you find the coping skills to get out of a state of hyperarousal and back into a place of safety and connection.

As a therapist, my passion is helping clients develop a greater ability to understand themselves and handle what happens to them. I use an integrative approach which is grounded in research and shows that the most effective healing occurs in the context of a strong client-therapist relationship. Beginning therapy can be intimidating so I try to create a warm, safe space by using an empathic, nonjudgmental, and, at times, humorous approach. Clients have described my style as compassionate and supportive while also being honest and direct.

Welcome! I’m Rachel, a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping adolescents and early adults on their journeys towards well-being and personal growth. The worlds of adolescence and early adulthood can feel exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and empowering all at the same time. During these complicated and transformative years, it can be helpful to have extra support and guidance. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies for overcoming challenges related to interpersonal concerns/relational issues, anxiety, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, depression, and life transitions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, afraid, hopeless or stuck? I provide caring, supportive psychotherapy for adults, couples and adolescents age 15 and up. I teach many skills to improve coping, communication and behavior. I help my clients to manage depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, mood swings, grief, trauma and anger.

You've probably been to a therapist before, and it hasn't quite felt right. Or maybe you liked them, but felt disconnected from their approach. Felt that there was a way to work more deeply with your emotions, but your therapist wanted to talk about your thoughts, and give you homework. Felt really bogged down in the details, and the negative, of what's been going on in your life. Haven't really laughed.

I am dedicated to helping you cope and work to overcome life's inevitable challenges, family / relationship conflict, traumatic and painful circumstances that often result in suffering, distress, anxiety and depression. I strive to provide a supportive space where you can explore more effective ways to deal with your problems, while increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. I can assist you to process issues related to grief and loss, including the loss of a beloved pet. I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life.

Are you struggling with depression, stress, and daily life? Are you feeling overcommitted taking care of others at work or at home, and wonder when you'll be able to prioritize yourself? Do you have trouble saying "No?" Is your current relationship satisfying? Do you wish you and your partner could communicate more effectively? On the career front, would you like to feel more confident in negotiating job offers and/or raises and promotions? Are you disenchanted with your current career and interested in exploring other options? These and other areas are ideal issues to bring to therapy!

Are you struggling to find your way? Are you feeling stressed out or stuck? Are you struggling to be the best version of yourself? My passion is to help others who may be feeling lost, stuck, or uncertain during critical life changes or circumstances. I specialize in treating Anxiety in children and young adults throughout their college years. My treatment modalities will adjust to the individual's needs and draw from different counseling theories and approaches. I integrate a collaborative approach and see my client as the expert. My passion is to empower individuals toward experiencing inner healing and self-growth.

Currently accepting new clients in PA only. I believe that "it's the connection that heals." To me, it's important to build trust and safety in my work with clients- and also to be genuine! I work with clients facing a wide variety of issues from stress, anxiety, and depression to trauma, mood regulation, identity, family issues, and more. When I work with clients, I meet them where they're at, judgement-free. My clients decide on their own therapy goals, so you are in charge of the direction we take in therapy. Feedback is great! I like to be my real self in therapy with clients, and I hope that encourages you to do the same.

I provide counseling to adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, sleep issues, grief, self-esteem and relationship issues.

It is exhausting to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re walking on eggshells with people you love. It is miserable to feel like you’re just faking it every day, not liking yourself, or not knowing how to manage your depression, anxiety, or trauma. I provide my clients with the care, guidance, and support they need to make positive change and feel better. My approach is non-judgmental and grounded in respect. I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique situation, struggles, and goals; working to develop the tools needed to improve relationships - including their relationship with themself.

I am taking new clients! I can generally schedule new clients for a session within 2 business days. I offer both telehealth sessions as well as outdoor, nature therapy sessions in which we can talk on a park bench or walk along a trail. If you have been struggling to find a therapist, please reach out. Working together, we will explore who you are and create your vision of a healthy, happy life.

Are you looking to make positive changes in your life? By investigating your past, identifying strengths in the present and setting goals for the future, I collaborate with clients to support them on their wellness journey. My approach is person-centered using trauma-focused counseling and coaching to treat the whole person. I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) struggling with stress, life transitions and recovery from mental and physical health conditions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA and NJ and a Certified Professional Recovery Coach. All appointments are virtual.

It’s natural to experience unhelpful patterns or symptoms when we've experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences. We feel off balance, chronically stressed, anxious, or depressed. I prefer to view these symptoms as inner parts who need our attention and care. When these inner parts are healed, they feel less compelled to ruminate, obsess, or depress. That means there is more space for the qualities you want to have in your life, such as creativity, joy, confidence, clarity, peace, and presence.

Engaging in therapy provides an opportunity to create positive long-term changes. In my private practice, I'm dedicated to helping others more confidently manage anxiety and stress, adjust to life transitions, thrive more in relationships, and better understand themselves. I'm happy to be able to support and empower individuals, with skills and knowledge learned from therapy, to navigate their day-to-day with more ease.

I applaud your bravery in taking this step in your journey to wellness. As we engage in the process of awareness and healing we can conquer life’s challenges and thrive. I serve individuals, couples, and families struggling with relational difficulties, anxiety, depression, adjustment, inattention, and cultural diversity related concerns. I also serve athletes, professionals, and executives on addressing issues including depression, anxiety, work/life balance, coping with stressors, relational difficulties, adjustment challenges, and maintaining mental wellness.
