LPC, 19 years of experience
Welcome! I am Mary Klein. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I understand that dealing with anxiety and depression can be really tough, and I’m here to help you through it. My role is to provide a safe space for you to talk about your feelings and experiences. We can work together to explore strategies that can help you manage your anxiety and depression. I encourage you to share whatever you feel comfortable with, and remember that everything we discuss is confidential. It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, and seeking help is a strong and positive step.
I want to build a trusting relationship for you to feel comfortable and safe to share your thoughts and feelings. I want to know what you hope to achieve, your goals, whether it’s managing anxiety, improving relationships, or coping with depression. Let's explore the issues that are affecting your mental health, look at your values and have that help determine the direction you want to go in.
I have strong listening skills to help you feel heard and understood and not be judged in a safe environment. I foster trust and openess so that you are motivated to share your experiences and focus on your future.
In my 19 years as a therapist I have worked with clients experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression. I have worked with clients in the domains of mental health counseling, vocational counseling, substance use counseling. I have also worked in an integrated care setting working with clients who want to make healthy lifestyle changes to improve physical and mental health.
I have spent my career practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a person's thoughts and emotions that generally lead to the behaviors they exhibit. Thoughts and emotions are modeled and stem from one's learning from an early age. Sometimes those thoughts and emotions influence one throughout their life time, and, as we know our life situations are forever changing. I want to help individuals understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and improve their emotional well-being and coping skills. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is effective for treating various mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and can also assist with everyday life challenges.
