When we experience loss, unwanted change, or trauma it can shake our foundations and lead to pain, confusion, and heartache. While we can't prevent life from happening or undo what we've been through, my practice is based on a deeply held belief in the ability for all of us to heal and resume living with meaning and purpose. Recognizing where you're feeling blocked, stuck, or hurt will inform where we focus our efforts. Granting ourselves full permission to feel and express the depth of our feelings is instrumental to healing and growth. My role is to bear witness to your experience while offering support and encouragement as you recognize and process your feelings. Through curiosity, presence, and attunement I seek to facilitate individual's getting back to living through effectively addressing, expelling, and moving past what has caused pain. Owning how we feel without asking for permission, learning how to internally validate ourselves, and developing self regulation strategies will help when we experience intense challenges. We can learn to change our narratives and work towards unconditional self love and acceptance. Please trust yourself and your wisdom when doing healing work.

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. I won't always have the answers, but I will make a safe space for you to find them for yourself.

Hello there! My name is April and I have been in this field for 9 years now. My main goal is to make a space for you and your healing journey. I deliver my therapy modalities as kind and respectful as I do truthful. Honesty may be hard but toxic positivity is harmful, I approach life with a strength based perspective. “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul” - Carl Jung

Everyone deserves a journey of self-healing and self-discovery. In fact, allowing yourself to blossom is the avenue to experiencing self-love and meaningful connections with others. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 15 years, but started researching and seeking methods of healing since my early teens. I attended the University of California, San Diego, followed by Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, studying Clinical Psychology, Critical Gender Studies, and Transpersonal Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EFT Practitioner. I have experience assisting individuals with a range of issues including anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, addictions, end of life issues, and issues related to discrimination and marginalization. I am an experienced therapist, supervisor, and group facilitator in various settings. I have also instructed Graduate Level Psychology students, teaching courses on Transforming Addictions and Multicultural and Diversity Issues in Counseling.

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. I do not provide opinions about disability for clients who are not well-established at the time the opinion is requested. (FMLA, Emotional support animal or housing forms).

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!

Note - In order to receive my updated availability, please reach out. Welcome to a journey you’ve never experienced before, feel free to message me with any questions. I’m Amanda Rosentel, you’re here and that means you are ready for the next step, taking control of your life! I’m a big believer in setting concrete goals, creating plans and problem solving. I’ve had personal experiences with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma since I was a teenager. I’ve done the therapy work and continue to work on myself daily. I want to show you how to do the same! I love working with individuals (25+ y.o.), couples and parents, to create a life that is functional and empowering. You deserve to have your voice heard and learn which coping tools work and which tools don’t. We’ll weed through all the tough stuff together! When working with couples; it is so important for the couple to have a solid foundation of communication and expectations that are expressed to one another. If you are ready to do the work, I'll be here!

You are the expert on you. My style is collaborative, solution focused, and neurodiversity-affirming. Specialties are anxiety, depression, autism, parenting children with Autism, and infertility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment that reduces anxiety, depression, and many other symptoms. I am CBT trained. I enjoy trying new strategies in collaboration with the clients I work with. Everyone is different and I personalize treatment as much as possible. Whether you need 2 sessions or 20 sessions, together we can come up with different thoughts and behaviors that can help you reach your goals and improve your quality of life. I have over 20 years' experience working as a therapist and psychologist.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing outpatient mental health therapy since 2012. Before doing outpatient therapy, I worked in various treatment facilities and provided in-home services to children, adolescents, and families. Since becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked alongside folks ranging from 3 to 93 years old, and no matter their age, they came out of therapy with several valuable tools to add to their quality of life. I can work on many issues with individuals, children, teens, families, and couples. I also provide treatment for mood challenges, anxiety, attention, impulse control, and trauma.
