Desiree Adore
I believe in offering a strength-based and compassionate safe therapeutic space for clients. Healing comes from within the individual, and as therapists we are here to foster and support growth. I strive to help individuals increase balance, perspective, peace and joy, while reducing their stressors and unhealthy patterns. I have a humble love of learning and I am dually licensed in Pennsylvania and Nationally certified as both a counselor and a behavior analyst.
I believe in being flexible and listening to the client's needs, rather than being confined to one clinical orientation or intervention plan.
First session
During our first session, we will hold a introduction to review current challenges, concerns, and any questions you have. This will enable us to set goals and a therapeutic course of action.
