Hello. I look forward to working with you. My own background is one of growing up on farms, having little money and ambitious dreams. I did not know what it was but I knew I wanted to go to college and get out of the tobacco fields around me. My dreams came true. I ended up being a psychologist and a teacher, spending decades working in residential treatment then in schools, the last 13 years working with preschoolers and their families to prepare them to succeed in school. As a teacher, I taught many college and university courses as well as workshops, most recently to address grief and trauma. In the early 1990's, I felt led to live and work at or near the world center of Quakers called Pendle Hill in PA. There I studied and taught Arts and Spirituality while also serving as a Psychologist in nearby schools. I came to see the importance of Co-Creativity (creating together a piece of life we truly want to live for). My specialties in the Arts have been writing, visual arts and dancing/movement from a "no wrong way" perspective. I incorporate these into the therapy process as they become beneficial. For much of my life, I have also been engaged with my own therapeutic process. Having been the client for several years, gives me the perspective of what might be important to you as we work together, never assuming I know or forgetting to ask you.

Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the state of Pennsylvania. For the past 15 years, I have been working with adolescents and adults that have struggled with domestic abuse and have symptoms of trauma such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, mistrust, and hopelessness, by helping them find their purpose and their "WHY". I help those who find it difficult to work through toxic or unhealthy relationships rather it be professionally or personally. I work with clients that experience emotional pain through their past trauma and help them break free from their pain where they regain their spark and power. Working with me, I will help you transform your emotional trauma into your strength. I have successfully helped clients write their stories, which are now books, about their past trauma and they have shared their stories with others so they too could encourage others to share their story and get the help they need, as there is power in sharing with others who are in similar situations. Again, it's about transforming emotional pain into power and strength. My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. As a mental health therapist, I'm here to empower you to see yourself as a being with a powerful life story. As we embark on your therapeutic journey together, I will always let you take the lead, after all, you are the expert on your own story.

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself. You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want. I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

I feel it's important to allow yourself to recognize your strengths, and accomplishments by talking about all of that. I do accept self-pay, same weekly appointments available! Thank you! See you in session! Sincerely Dzana

Sometimes the people in our lives just don’t get it. I have worked with those managing anxiety, depression, and family and relationship challenges. I also have special experience working with older adults, artists and creatives, career challenges and burnout, and people living with HIV or other health conditions. Our lives don't often offer the non-judgmental space to work through trauma, heartache, and overwhelming stress. Talking with a therapist is different from talking with a friend or family member because you are free of obligations and responsibility. It is all about you, and I will ask helpful questions, point out connections and patterns, and simply give you space to put yourself first and talk through your experiences. If you have been to therapy before, it may help to know I have the experience and training to work with those who have received a mild, moderate, or severe mental health diagnosis, but know that it is only one piece of the puzzle. Knowledge is power. I believe in psychoeduction - teaching you as much as you like about psychology and how our brains operate.

With over four years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to helping individuals from all walks of life unlock their potential and create the changes they seek. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have had the privilege of working with a broad spectrum of clients across various age groups, including children, adolescents, adults, and families, which has deepened my understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face at different stages of life. Whether you are an adolescent facing challenges at school or in relationships, an adult navigating life transitions, or a family seeking support, I am here to help you build resilience, manage stress, and move toward the change you want in your life. Together, we will work toward creating lasting positive changes and helping you live a fulfilling, empowered life.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who lives and works in Pennsylvania. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I have been involved in the human potential movement since 1989 and have been working as a coach and counselor for the past 10 years. I work with men and women ages 18 and up who are struggling with family, career, and life transition issues.

Hi there, I'm Kirsten! Do you miss being in control of your emotions? Do you struggle with racing thoughts, a lack of motivation, or low self confidence? Ready to make yourself a priority again? I am here to help! As a Licensed therapist specializing in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma and self-esteem, I can help you get back into the driver's seat of your emotional roller coaster called life. In addition, with my knowledge and experience of using the trauma recovery and empowerment model (TREM), I will be able to help you work through past experiences that are still a struggle today. I want to provide a safe space for you to be your most authentic self. Life can be hard, but you don't have to go through it alone. I love mixing different types of therapy tools including mindfulness, psychoeducation, journaling techniques and much more! Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-confidence or life in general I will be able to provide evidence-based techniques for you to become the best version of yourself.

Are you struggling with balancing day to day life? Do you constantly worry, or have a difficult time managing your feelings? I have been there, and it can be a very lonely feeling. I want to help you. I have a passion for helping others who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and difficulty with healthy relationships. I also have experience in providing support when someone is experiencing trauma, grief and loss. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters degree from Kutztown University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I look forward to meeting you!
