Hello! My name is Christina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides individual counseling to children, teens, and adults. I have been involved in the clinical psychology field since 2017. I have a strong background in psychotherapy. I incorporate a variety of theoretical orientations and evidence-based approaches to meet individual client needs. I draw from person-centered, solution-focused, trauma-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques in my practice. I am also EMDR trained.

What sets the identity of my sessions is their structure and strategy. While I believe in having client centered treatment, I've often felt as though the therapist/client relationship requires strategy and tangible advancement that can be noted by the client. What this means is that using psycho education to identify thought or behavior patterns is often used as well as guided conversations to further explore the nature of distressed mental health symptoms. My previous experience includes: Adult counseling with a focus on Anxiety based disorders, Family counseling, Reunification counseling, Drug/Alcohol counseling

Hi! I am Haley Swayne, Licensed Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I graduated with my Master of Social Work from West Chester University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. As a social worker, I value empowering children, teens and young adults who face adversity and always act with care and compassion toward clients. I have experience in working with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, TBI's and more. I also believe including parents and support systems are integral in working with children and teens. I am currently finishing up an extensive EMDR training program focusing on working with children and teens.

Hello and welcome! My name is Stephanie and I am a Master's level counselor who is currently working on becoming licensed to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. In my work with clients, I have a multifaceted approach to counseling, some of which includes: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, Trauma-Focused, Multicultural, and Attachment-Based. I have experience and interest in providing support and treatment to adolescents and adults, who struggle with anxiety, depression, sexual addictions, and trauma.

Welcome! As a therapist my goal is to create a non-judgmental and supportive space where it feels safe to explore and grow. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and relational trauma (domestic violence, childhood abuse) as well as a strong understanding of narcissistic abuse and codependency. I also work with individuals that may be experiencing anxiety, depression, and OCD as well as life stress from difficult loss or transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates a psychodynamic and interpersonal framework along with some elements of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CF-CBT).

Hi there! I'm Sage. I would be grateful for the opportunity to empower you to become the healthiest and happiest you. I am passionate about working with clients from a person-first, holistic approach. I utilize a strengths-based approach as I work to build a strong and supportive therapeutic alliance with my clients that fosters a safe, judgment-free environment for personal exploration and growth. Together, we can create change and growth by discovering where you want to be in life and how to get there.

Your true healing, growth, authentic self, and full potential lie beyond four walls of a clinician's office. It takes courage to start the therapeutic process. If you are looking for a holistic, creative way to improve your mental health, I can support and guide you in your journey. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you've had many years of experience, if you're ready for real personal change, a new approach, and want to delve deeply into the therapeutic process, I'm here to guide you.

Seeking support through therapy is an invaluable experience, and it is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this process. My experience on the other side of the “couch” has afforded me the opportunity to see that real change is possible when we recognize that we deserve to ask for help. I enjoy seeing an eclectic group of clients and I am committed to providing a warm, non-judgmental space to foster a positive pathway to mental health. My competence present opportunities to reflect and identify underlying issues, while also offering skills and tools to use in moments of great distress.

My most enjoyable times in therapy are the moments when a person realizes they have it within them to recognize a change to be made, the skills to do it, and feels successful. To experience that life changing moment with them is awe-inspiring. Some call this an "A-ha moment," "light bulb going off," or an "epiphany." Instead, I call this the moment when a person switches the channel of their inner voice from: self-blaming, hyper-critical, guilt driven, and fear-mongering to one that is: self-compassionate, self-forgiving, self-empowering, self-accepting, and value-driven.

When life throws curveballs, we all need a little help. Whether you desire to build new skills to manage life, or desire to process difficult life experiences, I am here to provide authentic and open-minded support.

My primary purpose is to help you find solutions to various life problems. Together we engage in a goal-oriented problem-solving process that uses a growth and strength-based model to develop a plan for resolving issues and achieving desired changes.

Many of us experience more unwanted emotions than the preferred ones, which can prompt our unhelpful reactions. If you have difficulty accepting or coping with a problem in life, I welcome you to begin therapy sessions with me. I can also support you if you’re having difficulty managing anxiety, depression, grief, or unhelpful thinking patterns.

Are you thinking about reaching out for help? Does finding someone you connect with feel overwhelming and confusing? My goal as a therapist is to foster a relationship where you feel safe, heard, and validated. From this place of safety, we can collaborate to create a plan to heal and address the reasons you are seeking support. Relationships can be the source of many challenges in our lives. This could be how we relate to ourselves, others, or the world in general. Through addressing how we relate to ourselves and others we can experience powerful positive change.

I enjoy working with children, teenagers, young adults, their families, and adults. My goal is to help you work toward your personal goals, all while recognizing and respecting where you are in your journey and your current environment. I can also help you manage mental health challenges you may be facing alone, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and motherhood.

Helping individuals, couples, and families successfully manage their challenges and develop strong, positive relationships is the main focus of my practice. I believe in using a variety of approaches and tailoring these to my client's needs to produce the changes and growth my client is seeking.

I believe everyone has inherent value, has purpose, and belongs in this world. A person can be greatly impacted by stress, life changes, trauma, and pain/hurt which can lead people to believe they do not have value or feel no longer worthwhile. People can heal from these things and can learn new skills to better regulate emotions. Sometimes people just need someone to show up and help guide the healing process. We can heal the hurt and find ways to move forward in life. I work to provide a calm, safe, open, non-judgmental space to allow this process to begin.

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Are you struggling with a life transition? Do you experience difficulties in relationships? Maybe you feel stuck in emotional or behavioral patterns that seem to be holding you back. I provide a welcoming, accepting space and offer skills to help you achieve more clarity, confidence and connection in your life. My life and work have taught me that we all suffer and struggle. But they've also shown me that we all possess within us a well of wisdom, resilience, and compassion. The suffering we endure can make it very difficult to access this inherent strength. We can easily become lost, disconnected.
