New to Grow
Welcome! I am Autumn Nonnemacher, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Master's Degree in clinical and counseling psychology from Chestnut Hill College and have been providing therapeutic services for approximately 4 years. I have experience in assisting adolescents and young adults manage daily life stressors, improving symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, burnout, life changes, relationship challenges, etc.
In our first session, we'll begin with brief introductions, where I'll answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. I'll also ask you some questions about your background and current challenges to better understand what brought you to therapy. Together, we'll explore what you hope to work on and create a plan to help you achieve your goals in therapy.
I am passionate about helping others improve their daily lives and achieve their personal goals. As a practitioner, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for healing, grounded in empathy and compassion. I am dedicated to teaching effective coping skills and therapeutic techniques that can ease symptoms, while also actively listening to your unique journey and experiences. Together, we will work toward meaningful progress and lasting change.
I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with stress/anxiety, anger management, life changes, motivation, self-esteem/confidence, body image, peer relationships, and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I have found one of the strengths of CBT to be its ability to empower clients by providing them with tools to reframe negative or unhelpful thoughts into more constructive beliefs, leading to positive changes in their emotional and behavioral responses.
Strength-Based
I find it important to use strength-based approaches in my practice as they help clients focus on resilience, resourcefulness, and the skills they already possess. It encourages clients to recognize their own capabilities and increases their confidence in handling life's difficulties. By building on what they do well, clients can develop a more positive and proactive mindset, which can be transformative in managing stress and challenges.
Eclectic
I believe in meeting clients where they are, recognizing them as the experts of their own lives. An eclectic approach to therapy enables me to draw from various techniques and treatment methods, tailoring the approach to best fit each client’s unique needs.
Trauma Informed Care
I incorporate trauma informed care into my practices by establishing a judgement-free, safe environment for clients to explore how exposure to trauma has impacted their lives, which allows clients the space and opportunity to begin their healing journey.
