Feelings are a natural, unavoidable, and sometimes overwhelming part of life. Our day to day lives are filled with ups and downs and as humans, we need to connect and talk about them. So, my role, as a Licensed Professional Counselor, is to foster a safe and warm environment and to encourage an open dialogue. During therapy, any thought, feeling and behavior can be discussed, those ups and downs will feel less overwhelming and become much more manageable. If you're an adult struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling unmotivated, burnout, experiencing challenges with friends or family, have codependency/boundary issues, experiencing grief and loss, and/or relationship concerns - I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward. Starting therapy can be intimidating, but I will do my best to make you feel comfortable. I'm committed to our therapy and success. Let's get started!

At my core, I am a humanist, existentialist, and a proponent of unconditional self-compassion. I have a strong skill set working with teens and young adults but love working with all humans in general. Other therapeutic areas of strength would be trauma, personality disorders, gender and sexuality, parenting, relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

My name is Lauren DeTurk and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor at Grow Therapy. I’ve been working in the mental health field since I was 18 years old and I’m currently 42 years old. I started off working as a recreational aid for Kidspeace at a camp called Sarah’s Smile located in Orefield, PA working with children ages 3 to 8 years old with autism spectrum disorders and from there I worked as a therapeutic staff support or TSS also with Kidspeace working with children and their families with autism spectrum disorders in the home, school, and community. I also moved from there to working still with the same company at Kidspeace as a mental health worker at a partial school-based classroom called Advances in Temple, PA with adolescents ages 13-14 years old who were kicked out of their home school district due to challenging behaviors combined with mental health disorders. I was in graduate school at the time at Kutztown University also known as KU in the marital and family therapy program and my internship was at Berks Counseling Center in Reading, PA working with adult men and women with substance abuse issues and/or co-occurring disorders such as mental illnesses. I did individual and group therapy while I was interning there. December 5, 2008 I graduated from KU with my Master of Arts in Marital & Family Therapy and from there I went to work at Chester County Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities as a Supports Coordinator (Caseworker) working with children and adults with autism spectrum disorders or mental illness or intellectual and developmental disabilities. I was named Rookie of the year out of 200 new employees at the county. I then worked at Keystone Autism Services working with adults with autism spectrum disorders as Behavioral Health Specialist and supervising 10 Community Support Professionals or CSPS. Then I moved to Wyomissing, PA and worked as a Family Based Therapist at Philhaven now called Wellspan in the home, school, and community with a co-therapist following a strict 32 week structural family therapy model with children ages 3-18 years old with serious emotional disturbances and/or mental health disorders and their families videotaping individual and family therapy sessions. I’d present at The Centers For Family Based Training in front of 150 therapists showing videotapes of family therapy sessions that my clients signed consents for and received feedback on my therapeutic skills & interventions. Shortly thereafter I became engaged and moved to Kutztown, PA where I got a job working at Berks County Prison as a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner overseeing 200 inmates on suicide watch and doing suicide assessments on a daily basis. I was responsible for keeping them safe and I had to check on them every 10-15 minutes. From there I worked at Child Guidance Resource Centers in Coatesville, PA as a Multisystemic Family Therapist working with teenagers and their parents who had conduct disorders and/or substance abuse disorders providing individual and parenting therapy sessions. Most of my clients were on probation and had been in juvenile detention centers. After working at Child Guidance Resource Centers I got a job working at Reading Hospital as an Integrated Care Clinician/ LPC embedded in an OBGYN practice 4 days a week working with women with depression and others with postpartum depression and/or postpartum psychosis. I worked 1 day away at a Pain Management Center/Clinic providing individual therapy for those struggling with chronic pain and/or opioid dependence which brings me to now working at Grow Therapy as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My specialties are PTSD, Anxiety Disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, OCD, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, and other mental health disorders including Depression, Postpartum Depression, Bipolar Disorder, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, and Personality Disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Hi, I'm Cory! Do you feel unmotivated, uninspired, and stuck in the routine of life or your relationship? Are you searching for who you are at your core and learning to live a life aligned with that?

In walking this journey of growth and healing with you, we will use a mind, body, and soul approach.

I work well with individuals experiencing life struggles related to anxiety, depression, trauma, negative patterns caused by toxic family dynamics, phase of life and adjustment issues, grief and loss, career challenges, self esteem obstacles, relationship struggles, developing and teaching coping skills, finding the root causes to negative patterns in your life, and helping to identify who you are as your individual self.

Finding a kink-friendly therapist isn't easy; WE KNOW! Understanding the complexities of your lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. You can't tell just anyone that you love wearing/holding a collar, dressing as another gender, or the sweet smell of a woman's shoes. Or, can you? Being different is not a novel concept; being understood is. Some days, it's difficult to understand yourself, so how could a therapist possibly begin to wade through it all? The complexity only deepens when you can't even discuss these issues with your own partner. The desperation builds. The isolation intensifies. Your online search yields little success. Until now. Come as you are to therapy; you don't have to leave your home. Wear the collar. Own that dress. Use your "footstool". Glam yourself up, be your true "you". With over 17 years of experience working with BDSM, kink, fetish, D/s dynamics, ENM, Poly, and other alternative lifestyles. You know you're entering a safe space without judgement. Call, text, or email to schedule a FREE 20 minute consultation. During that time, we will discuss your specific needs and exactly how I will address them in treatment. You've waited long enough to find a therapist that understands the complexities of kink and alternative lifestyles - don't wait any longer to begin your journey!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania. I'm a trauma-informed counselor, and I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core. I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there’s many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: www.everystepforward.com I'm strong on empathy, open-mindedness, and curiosity, and I help those I work with use those same skills when looking at how their past shows up in the present. I use a mindfulness-based approach along with techniques backed by decades of research to help people manage anxiety and depression and improve low self-esteem and self-care.
