My favorite quote comes from Mark Twain who wrote, "There are two important days in your life; the day you were born and the day you find out why." This quote I believe in as I feel it speaks to purpose and being born on purpose and not by mistake.
I work with a client to build a therapeutic rapport as I feel this to be essential to making therapeutic gains. I embrace the elements of unconditional positive regard, being authentic and genuine, and empathy to help build that therapeutic rapport with a client. I consider listening, patience, acceptance, and honest communication, and observing healthy boundaries as my greater strengths.
I look forward to working each potential client in navigating through challenges to obtain mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being.

Whether there has been a significant loss, a life transition, relational conflict, or daily stressors, we all need support during difficult times. Sometimes, however, a trained professional can help navigate these challenges and assist in facilitating positive change. We aren’t always able to recognize the underlying cause of our discomfort or find ways to overcome life’s challenges. In a therapeutic setting, we will work together to discover healthier ways for you to deal with life’s struggles, make desired changes, improve relationships, and find inner healing.
Seeking therapy can be viewed as an investment in yourself. Improving mental and emotional health is as important as one’s physical health. My role is to provide a safe space and come alongside you on your journey.
I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual, couples, and family counseling services. I treat depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, (PTSD), relationship issues, parenting, behavioral concerns, and many other problems affecting how we feel and operate in the world.

I started being a believer in therapy when it first helped me over forty years ago, (as a child). I thought what a wonderful way to get to the root of the problem... and get rid of it. Since then I have been working on myself as a client as well as acquiring a licensure to help others, including teens, adults and families. I focus on solution based and non-judgmental cognitive therapy. I believe understanding a problem is not the end of the work.
The action we take to support a positive change... is what changes lives. And while I have experienced that in some very important areas... I continue to grow... daily. I choose to be transparent about that because I believe it is important to the work that my clients know I understand how it feels to be in their chair.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, doubt, guilt, grief, or all of the above, I believe I can help you.

Hi. I'm Steve.
Do you ever wonder why, no matter how many different things you've tried, you fall back into old behaviors that hurt you and/or those you love? Do you wonder why your emotions take over and leave you feeling incapable or overwhelmed? Do your emotions get in the way of effectively communicating when it matters the most?
We all face questions like this, and the most fulfilling part of my work is helping people like you find answers to those questions. I don’t have any “one-size-fits-all” solutions, but together we will work to identify what drives your responses and what you can do to make lasting changes. We will work to help you anticipate and prevent issues before they appear, to feel emotional intensity rising and calm it down, and to exit stressful situations before doing or saying something you’ll regret. I don’t believe that our worst moments define us. I DO believe that each of us is capable of overcoming past struggles and finding a new path. I look forward to working with you as you try to find yours.

Life transitions, relationships in flux, maybe you haven't felt like yourself recently. Navigating hard emotions that keep you up a night, or preoccupy thinking, might be holding you back from enjoying activities and relationships you once did. Reasons for seeking therapy are unique and individual to you. You are deserving of a therapist who will build a space for you to be vulnerable with your story and emotions. Together, we can build a path forward through empathetic processing, acceptance, skill building, and goal planning.
Therapy is like a compass, it doesn't provide all the answers, but it provides direction. Focusing on your strengths, presenting problem, and future goals, our time together will be spent targeting false thoughts, realizing potential, and building trust in yourself.

Hi there, I am Albert.
Do you feel that specific life events have had a great impact on how you are managing and functioning daily? I am a clinician who believes that the past influences the present and future and if trauma has been a part of the human experience the impact on human functioning is even greater. It is my goal to create a safe and caring counseling atmosphere and setting so that the individual feels safe to explore the effect of trauma or any life event(s) that have impacted their life.
Clients are encouraged to explore and engage in new aspects of themselves; finding new abilities which increase their positive daily functioning by increasing their living tool kit with new creative and important tools. I utilize evidence-based modalities to address the unique and specific needs of each client and I do so from a trauma-informed perspective. I provide long-term psychotherapy; I also work with clients doing short-term solution-focused therapy that is goal-specific.
I completed my master's in counseling in 2005 from New Jersey City University. From 2005 to 2010 I was an associate counselor and upon completion of my supervision hours became a Licensed Practicing Counselor in 2010. I have had experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community outreach and providing in-home therapy services for individuals and families. I have worked treating depression, anxiety, behavior problems, ADHD and issues related to gender identity as well as issues facing couples.

I am a therapist who helps individuals and couples work on psychological and relational issues to find ways to solve them and enrich their lives. I work with clients to develop a plan of action to learn ways to manage and resolve the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are holding them back from having a happy fulfilled life. I will help reframe thoughts to improve energy, self esteem and confidence so clients can be who they want to be. I have a specialty in trauma, especially related to childhood and attachment issues. I am certified in the technique of EMDR which releases and helps resolve intense feelings such as fear, anxiety, depression, fear or shame. I will work in sessions to build confidence and resilience to result in better energy and a positive outlook to improve daily functioning and holistic health.

Hi! I'm Kathy, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 15 years of experience in a variety of outpatient settings working with both adolescents and adults. I primarily focus on anxiety and related disorders, stress management, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ identities and related concerns, OCD, and overall wellness. I practice from a trauma-informed perspective and tailor evidence-based treatment modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, to meet the unique needs of each person.
In our therapeutic journey together, you can anticipate a compassionate and collaborative space where your unique experiences, thoughts, and emotions are not only heard but deeply understood. Each session is tailored to your needs, fostering a sense of safety and trust that allows for open exploration and self-discovery. My approach is rooted in empathy, and my goal is to provide you with tools and insights that empower you to navigate life's challenges more effectively.

As each of us goes through life, we will experience difficult transitions. It could be the losses of a loved one or pet to death through disease, accident, or natural causes. Personally, you or a loved one may face cancer or other life-threatening situations. Life’s transitions are challenging. In all cases, you will need support from family, friends, and professionals. My professional experience includes working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds facing challenging transitions in their lives. I have supported clients confronting these transitions while witnessing them gain greater self-awareness.
I have also witnessed these clients becoming stronger and more confident through the healing process. I also addressed with clients associated conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, loss of self-esteem, burnout, and just feeling stuck. I offer empathetic and personable individualized therapeutic services utilizing different theoretical orientations.
You will have the opportunity to freely express yourself in a safe and non-judgmental space. To help you achieve your goals and make positive changes in your life, I will also gently challenge you to be receptive to new perspectives on your healing journey. If you are ready to face the wind of your life’s transition, reach out to schedule an appointment.

If you're not feeling quite like yourself lately and are looking for a safe space to tackle stress, trauma, or navigate life's twists and turns, you've come to the right place.
Whether it's coping with change, navigating self-esteem, tackling depression, dealing with trauma and grief, addressing LGBTQ+ issues, managing parent-child relationships, or handling anxiety and stress, I'm here to help. I'm a seasoned therapist and I approach therapy as more than just a quick fix. Sure, I've got some effective techniques up my sleeve for immediate relief, but the real aim is lasting change. Sometimes the journey to change can be a bit uncomfortable or challenging but it's through that discomfort that we unearth deeper understanding and insight, paving the way for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Recognizing that the road ahead might involve some tough work, my role is to establish a space filled with comfort and support, making the journey a bit smoother for you. I wholeheartedly stand by your side, motivating you to tackle the challenging work while also playing the role of your biggest cheerleader. Let's work on helping you become your most authentic self.
I typically work with individuals aged 16-40(ish). Populations I am particularly focused on are:
- Young adults exploring post-college life and career goals
- Mid-career professionals feeling stuck or wanting to develop confidence and leadership skills
- College and grad students; High school juniors and seniors
- Parents wanting to improve communication with their kids
- Empty nesters looking to write their next chapter
- LEOs and Veterans
- Trans folx considering gender-affirming surgery
I am licensed to provide therapy in Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia.
Cost should not be a deterrent to accessing quality care. When possible, I encourage clients to use their insurance to help pay for services. I understand that not everyone has Mental Health insurance coverage and I am committed to making therapy affordable for those who pay out of pocket. I offer a limited number of sliding scale therapy slots based on financial need.
Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Email me to scheule a free, 15-minute introductory call before scheduling an intake session so we are both sure the connection is a good fit: Gretchen@SunriseLCSW.com. Learn more at www.SunriseLCSW.com.

Hi there, I'm Terri.
I am so proud of you! Welcome to starting your healing journey. You have made an important choice for yourself—starting the process of exploring what brings you distress and wanting relief. Together, we will have a private space to wonder out loud and make connections between your past, present and important relationships.
If this is your first time in therapy, then this beginning may bring up a lot of questions and anxiety. You may have heard or read myths about counseling that are out there: “It means something is wrong with you,” or, “Just don’t think about (insert problem here) and you’ll be fine.” Know that nothing is ‘wrong with you’ and not addressing the problem usually only makes it bigger in the long run. We all benefit from having someone to share our feelings with and help us make sense of the stresses that we face. That’s why I’m here!
Do you feel you need to have control of every aspect of your life? Are you always thinking about the future and ‘What’s next’ on your never-ending to-do list?
Do you feel alone, isolated, or withdrawn? Have you noticed that you’re increasingly irritable, anxious, restless, and overwhelmed? No worries! We can address these concerns and more. I help people address uncomfortable topics to break generational cycles. I aim to assist those who struggle with saying ‘No’, and who often forget about their needs.

Are you struggling with managing your daily life, work stress, or relationships? Have you recently experienced loss or trauma? Are you dealing with health or aging issues for yourself or a loved one? You may feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, feelings, moods and emotions? Or feel as though you are struggling as a parent? Maybe you feel like you could use some support and coping mechanisms. In treatment, we can work together to help you find inner clarity and peace, confidence, long-lasting skills and strategies. This can improve your overall well-being, and your relationships, and improve your ability to cope with life stressors. I have treated men and women dealing with a range of concerns including parenting skills, career training, abuse and trauma, grief and everyday life stress.
I enjoy mixing different methods including yoga and meditation with conversation to empower my clients and get to the root of the struggle. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort and strive to help my clients get the best outcomes from our time together.
