As a multicultural clinician, I do take a perspective that supports people who have all types of life experience. In life, we can experience challenges that can lead to difficulties with mental health. My role as a mental health professional is to cultivate a space where people feel authentic to themselves and understand how they can take control of their life using what's important to them. Therapy can help determine ways to unlock potential and make meaningful change. Every moment and every situations opens for many people after they start therapy with me, as with my support, many break-free from the struggles of their past to accomplish the needs and wants of their present and future lives.

Hi! People of all walks of life often go through tough times ... and I am here to help. Since 1991, I have worked with individuals across outpatient and inpatient settings, in homes and schools, and now through telehealth. I have assisted people with a variety of challenges--whether related to depression, anxiety and stress, trauma, behavioral control, self-esteem, substance use, life transition, and other issues. I believe in "possibilities thinking", goal setting, active strategizing, and frequent accounting of progress. As a long-term counselor and college psychology professor, I am well acquainted with many therapeutic approaches; however, I am somewhat partial to cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation and mindfulness, and solution-focused treatment. I am also formally EMDR-trained and DBT-Certified, both of which are helpful for emotional regulation. There are many therapy options and providers--whomever you select, I wish you the best. Remember--it’s your life, your journey … make the most of it! Sincerely, Rick NOTE: At the current time, my availability will typically be from 9-11 am on M/W/F, from 7-9 pm on some weekday evenings; and from 8 am-3 pm on most Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes, I can free up other times as well. NOTE: I am accepting only adults (age 18 and older). NOTE: I am offering only 1:1/individual therapy (no direct family or couples' sessions). NOTE: I do not engage in any court-ordered treatment. NOTE: I am interested in conducting therapy, not doing work-mandated, IEP, or other (e.g., Disability, Drug & Alcohol, or Mental Competency) evaluations. NOTE: Though an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, I am not a Licensed Psychologist or a Psychiatrist. As such, I cannot conduct psychological testing or prescribe medications.

Life can be increasingly difficult to manage in our current social and economic environment. It can feel increasingly difficult to cope with life’s stressors as we struggle with our relationships as well as our own feelings of self-worth. Feelings of depression and anxiety can easily take hold of us, becoming increasingly dangerous to our wellbeing. There are times that it becomes increasingly important for us to have someone to turn to for support in times of despair. The way we feel about ourselves very often defines our relationships with others. Developing and maintaining a healthy perception of ourselves is critical to creating a healthy environment around us. It is important to have support at times of doubt to help in life’s decision-making process. You will find this process a safe and effective way to work through personal and relational challenges. Together we will address issues and make changes necessary to create a healthier approach to our relationships with others as well as with ourselves. It’s important to have support at times of doubt to help in life’s decision-making process. You will find this process a safe and effective way to work through personal challenges.

With over 16 years of experience as a psychotherapist, it is my goal to help clients face and overcome the obstacles in their lives. I look forward to working with you to help create your best future! I offer therapy sessions in-person as well as virtually. I'm available weekdays and evenings.

"Life can be stressful, overwhelming and confusing at times. It's as if you have this weight that is on your shoulders that does not seem to get any lighter. Therapy is a great way to unpack the load that you are carrying and help make life more manageable. Whether it's conflict with your children, spouse, co-workers or friends, or financial difficulties, or even the pressure you put on yourself, all of these concerns and more I address with my clients in therapy. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe place where you can be yourself and talk about issues and topics that matter to you. It is a value based and strength based approach meaning, each of us have values that we live by and have built in strength and resiliency. Therapy is a tool that can highlight those values and build upon those strengths. I am a licensed psychologist who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults to help them achieve their personal goals. I look forward to assisting you with developing insight into your own life about recurring patterns, thoughts or behaviors and help you learn more adaptive ways of approaching life so you can master it!"

Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed to nourish us, and growing through hardships that leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I specialize in helping people (especially LGBTQ+ and minoritized communities) understand how therapeutic skills (acceptance and commitment, interpersonal skills, trauma work, emotion regulation) can be applied to overcome and liberate. By enhancing your strengths, reworking and relearning coping mechanisms, reframing beliefs about the world and yourself, and enacting mindful behaviors with intention, you can find a way through.

Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. Do you feel like you don’t have enough time to take care of yourself? Are you giving so much to others that there’s no time left for you? Are some of these relationships one-sided and go against your personal boundaries? I have a passion for helping individuals identify and shift patterns that no longer serve them, heal from toxic relationships, and explore their true identity. A safe and nurturing space is what I strive to cultivate for my clients. In my opinion, this must come first in order to set the foundation for a successful therapeutic experience. I’m so excited to start working with you!

Hey you! Let’s chat, tell me what’s going on? Maybe you have a lot going on and are unsure what to do to help yourself. Maybe you overthink things and struggle to make decisions. Are you unsure how to navigate challenges in your life? Do you feel blah? Do you lash out at people? Listen, times can be tough and change is hard!. Do you want to work with someone who will talk to you like a regular person? Someone who is knowledgeable and real? I can help you to work through your concerns and issues. You are the boss, I am here to guide and offer support to you in your treatment. We will work collaboratively to develop your treatment plan and goals. I integrate positive self-talk, achievable goals, and self-care to help manage life stressors. Whether you are dealing with depression and anxiety or something more complex such as trauma, I am here to support you in your journey. Not ready to be the boss of your treatment, that’s cool too, I can help you to learn how to be your own advocate. Together we can work on ways to increase your motivation and help to find more positivity in your day. We can work on identifying healthy coping skills, identifying emotions and how they can play a role either positive or negative in your behaviors/actions. I can help you to shift your focus and hopefully find more balance in your life. Therapy can seem intimidating, but I can help you to feel at ease and comfortable. You need a place where you can be YOU without fear of being judged. I’ll be authentic and non-bias in my approach in an effort to help you work towards your goals. Searching for the right therapist can be overwhelming. I invite you to reach out to see if I am the right fit for you. I’m excited to meet you!

Hi there, have you been feeling stuck? Just going through the day to day motions? Looking to change some things up? Let’s get started! First step is scheduling your initial appointment. I am here to help you navigate into a better state of mind. A little about me, I live a very active and healthy lifestyle and truly love motivating others. I also am diagnosed with Celiac disease, therefore I am quite the gluten free expert! I enjoy helping others tap into new coping skills. I love animals and have a big fluffy golden retriever. His name is Gus and from time to time crashes in to say hi during sessions. I have experience working with anxiety, behavioral management, self-esteem, parenting and anger management. I am open to new experiences and challenges. I always treat each client in a professional, empathic manner. I am fully committed to working with each client, individually in order to achieve the best personalized care.
