I help women who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, difficult relationships, or disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients understand their patterns intellectually but still find that their emotions and bodies respond in ways they cannot simply think their way out of. My practice offers integrative somatic psychotherapy that combines depth-oriented conversation with trauma and attachment work, somatic awareness, and nervous-system regulation. Together, we explore both where patterns came from and how they continue to show up in your relationships, emotions, and everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, with the goal of helping you reconnect with yourself, develop greater freedom and choice, and create meaningful change you can genuinely feel and live.

I’m an LCSW who works with teens and adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need someone in their corner. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, past experiences that still affect you, relationship or family challenges, low self-esteem, major life changes, or just the stress that comes with trying to keep everything together.
My style is warm, laid-back, and real. I do not believe therapy has to feel overly formal or clinical to be meaningful. I want sessions to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are... even if you do not know what to talk about that day, have no idea where to start, or need some time before you feel comfortable opening up. I use humor when it fits, ask questions that help you look at things differently, and will gently challenge you when I think it could help.
I also understand that there isn’t one approach that works for everyone. I pull from different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your personality, needs, goals, and where you are in life. Some sessions may involve learning practical coping skills or working toward a specific goal, while others may simply be about slowing down and making sense of what you’re feeling.
Most importantly, I want you to feel like therapy is something we’re doing together, not something being done to you. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you, offer a different perspective, help you recognize patterns, celebrate your progress, and give you tools to navigate the hard stuff.

First and foremost, my work is always person-centered; empathy and collaboration are the core of my therapeutic approach. We know that when it comes to your life, you are the expert. Whether you've uncovered it or not, you hold the deepest understanding of your past experiences, future goals, fears, desires, regrets, joys, and every other component of who you are. My role as your therapist is joining you on your journey to self-improvement and understanding, while being fully present and actively listening to ensure you feel heard and understood. As we dive into your mind, I engage by drawing from my education and training to give insight, offer a new perspective, propose solutions for change, identify helpful coping skills, and assist in various ways based on your individual needs.

I’m a millennial therapist who believes therapy can be meaningful and transformative without feeling overly intimidating. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are...whether you need to unpack something heavy, celebrate a win, laugh at the chaos of life, or admit that you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing right now.
My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable and judgment-free while still helping you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you. We can talk about boundaries, anxiety, relationships, people-pleasing, self-esteem, life transitions, or simply the overwhelming pressure of trying to have everything figured out.

Welcome! I'm Deborah Strouse, LCSW, a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly two decades of clinical experience. I graduated from Temple University with my master's degree in 2007 and hold a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) Credential in PA . My personality is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is a real bond and the ultimate key to your success in therapy. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I draw from both my professional training and my own rich life experiences-- from the discipline of practicing karate to the groundbreaking peace of nature foraging, kayaking, and hiking-- to provide a safe, affirming virtual sanctuary for my clients.
In my work, I blend mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, leaning heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. This means our sessions will combine deep, compassionate listening with the development of tangible, real-world emotional regulation skills. My ideal clients are resilient individuals navigating the complex, often overwhelming waters of major life transitions, profound stress, and identity exploration. Many belong to underserved populations or the queer community and are seeking a non-judgmental space to process change.
Whether you are enduring the raw weight of a divorce, facing sudden career shifts, or working through deep-seated anxiety, I know how freezing and terrifying these moments can feel. You do not have to cut through the noise alone. Together, we will work at your pace to dismantle shame, reclaim your inner strength, and build a lasting, balanced foundation of stability, purpose, and radical self-love. Let's take that next step together.

Well, no one ever taught us how to be mindful of thought patterns; to be aware of our own scars and biases, no one gave us an instruction book when it comes to dealing with our emotional life and the emotional lives of others.

I am a therapist dedicated to empowering clients to reclaim their path toward their most desired future. My work is fundamentally solution-focused, meaning we spend less time dissecting problems and more time defining your strengths, identifying immediate wins, and building actionable steps toward your goals. Your capacity for change is immense, and my role is to help you see it clearly.
My approach is collaborative and strategically integrated. I draw heavily on Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you resolve ambivalence and articulate your own, intrinsic reasons for change. This partnership focuses on eliciting "Change Talk" and moving from passive hope to decisive action. When building specific skills, I utilize CBT techniques, ensuring you leave each session with measurable, practical tools to manage your mood and navigate daily challenges effectively.
For clients healing from deeper wounds, my expertise in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Grief Therapy ensures we address the past, but always through the lens of liberation. We process how trauma or loss has changed your worldview—identifying "stuck points"—not to dwell, but to remove cognitive barriers that block your future progress.
I weave in Existential principles to anchor your goals in profound personal meaning. We ensure the future you are building is authentic and aligned with your deepest values, giving you the courage to take ownership of your choices. If you are ready to stop focusing on what is broken and start defining your best self, I offer a focused, empowering journey toward reclaiming your life.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth.
I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt.
As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

Most importantly I am a good listener. If I do not understand, I will ask. I believe in becoming uncomfortable to accept growth and change.
I am patient and kind, but I will hold you accountable if necessary. I am here for you.
I will do my best to understand what your needs are in order and develop a treatment plan based on that order: emotional, physical, reminders, etc... and how to be ready to move through the week ahead.
A goal or an intention or again whatever word you will choose to use will be set, as to see success in small steps.

Hello, Thank you for being courageous and taking the first step to feeling better. As a licensed clinical social worker, my approach is client centered with a compassionate, supportive space where clients can process what they are experiencing while developing practical tools for emotional balance. I integrate insight-oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to clients.
Not feeling like yourself lately? Many women have many roles, mother, daughter, coworker, friend, caretaker and find themselves navigating profound transitions such as: menopause, changing family roles, caregiving responsibilities, grief, relationship shifts, divorce, or questions about identity and purpose. While these experiences are common, they can also feel isolating, overwhelming, or emotionally exhausting. You do not have to navigate this stage of life alone. Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step. I welcome the opportunity to be alongside you as you navigate the challenges and possibilities of midlife and beyond.

My name is Doug and I think you are making a wonderful decision on taking the first step towards reaching out for support.
I have successfully worked as a counselor for 41 years and have also taken advantage of counseling opportunities to better myself.
I look forward to meeting you, learning about your hopes and passions and seeing if we can work together to help you feel better and function more effectively.
I am skilled at working with clients who struggle with handling stress, depression, anxiety or substance use issues. I am very experienced helping persons with severe and persistent mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia, severe Bipolar Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder. As I am 66 years old I also feel very comfortable helping older adults who face a variety of new challenges later in life.
A good counselor knows their limitations and as such, I suggest you seek a different person if you are looking for help with trauma-related issues or partner issues.
In my free time I enjoy traveling with my wife, cooking, reading, cycling, periodically pretend to be a golfer and (usually enjoy) watching my NY Jets!

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
