91 therapists in Pennsylvania matching your needs

Hi! I'm Erin. So many of us deal with anxiety and unresolved trauma on top of the stressors of everyday life. I believe that no matter your reason for seeking therapy, you deserve an individualized approach that accounts for your lifestyle, environment, and changing needs and capacities. We will work together to explore past and current experiences that influence the way you feel about yourself and the world around you. I will support you in developing practical skills and ways of thinking that you can use to navigate day-to-day life, transitions, and difficulties as they occur. My approach is casual, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I am authentic and approachable, and provide a therapeutic environment that does not enforce a power differential.

You may be seeking therapy for various reasons, or have the feeling it might help without knowing your specific goals. I believe therapy is an opportunity for growth through an authentic relationship, and through this human connection, we can discover your goals, needs, and hopes for therapy. I most often work with queer clients, neurodivergent folks, and those with mood disorders. I offer an honest, safe, and non-hierarchical space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I strive to support my clients in finding ways to thrive despite our oppressive world. If you are looking for a safe relationship to explore who you are and what you need, I would be honored to walk that path with you.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them. I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems, Narrative, & Gottman therapies in my work, as well as specializing in working with LGBTQ+ clients. My goal is to help clients understand and articulate different "parts" of themselves, and deepen their curiosity and compassion for the parts that present barriers to healing. My constant intention is to provide culturally sensitive and affirming care, as well as a safe and affirming space for you to explore your strengths and challenges. I welcome feedback at every step of the process - communication is the backbone of any relationship, including the therapeutic one! I look forward to hearing from you and taking our next step.

Have you thought about getting support from a therapist but aren't sure how to start? Reach out to me and I can help make the process more comfortable.

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections. Life is a journey and I want you to welcome self-exploration, not fear it.

I'm so glad you're here! I’m excited to collaborate with you in working toward increasing sexual safety, wellness, and pleasure in your life. I'd love to work together to figure out what you’re already doing that’s working for you and develop a plan to build on your current strengths and supports to help you move toward the sexual life and relationships you want. ​Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies, and many of us have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually. I believe that everyone is a sexual being and that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives. Sometimes all we need is for someone to hold a safe space for us while we explore and process. Sometimes what we need is specific education, skills, and the support to develop them. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field of sexual wellness, my goal isn’t to tell you where you should go, what you should do, or how you should be, but to help you move in the direction of the life you want, wherever that might take you.

I do require weekly appointment for new clients for 1-2 months depending on the severity of presenting problems.

Some examples of my experience include working with individual clients on developing skills in coping with mental health conditions/diagnosis, life stress, finding balance, and improving self-esteem.
