LPC, 9 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! My name is Serena and I welcome you to my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in the field for 9 years. I am based in PA and received my master's degree in Couple, Marital, and Family Counseling from Kutztown University. I have experience with working with kids, teens, adults, and couples. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Therapy, Attachment Based Family Therapy, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy. I understand that life can be difficult and have its obstacles. I'm here to assist you to navigate those obstacles, transitions, and heavy emotions that arise in life. I want to help you to live your best life possible!
During our first session, I will be asking you information about presenting issues as well as getting to know the person that you are! We will complete clinical measures in order to assess how severe current symptoms are, and also discuss your goals for treatment. I'll explain more about myself and the plan for how sessions will look like.
My empathy, care, and compassion for others is one of my biggest strengths. I have a passion with helping others. In addition, I have an eclectic approach and will be using a combination of skills in order to best help you achieve the results that you desire!
If you're feeling lost in life, need some guidance or support, or if you're ready to make some changes to improve your life, then I'm the therapist for you! Additionally, I can help those with OCD or anxiety be able to accept discomfort and be able to lean more into uncomfortable situations.
I'll educate you on skills and techniques in order to be able to identify your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
I have training and knowledge in helping couples to improve communication and be able to thrive in their relationship.
I have extensive training on implementing exposures in various settings and will utilize exposures in order to help confront fears and reduce compulsions.
I'll help you to identify current issues and explore with you on the root of how the issues came to be.
I tailor treatment to the individual and will incorporate a lot of different skills/techniques in order to help improve your life.
