My goal is to help you to make positive changes: Maybe you want some help coping with a difficult situation; maybe you just need to untangle and smooth out knotted and frayed emotions; or maybe you've been diagnosed with some sort of medical or psychiatric condition that creates problems for you-I'm here to listen and to talk, to nudge and to cheer-lead as you move forward. Maybe you just need a safe place and another perspective to help you figure out what changes you want to make-that's ok, too! We move at your pace.
I have over 20 years' experience working with people with a variety of presenting concerns. These days, I primarily focus on work with teenagers, adults, and seniors, particularly those coping with depression and/or anxiety concerns, including recovery from various kinds of trauma.

Welcome~ I'm Genevieve.
First of all, I commend you for taking the first step in taking care of your mental health. Especially if this is your first time exploring therapy, it might feel confusing, overwhelming, or nerve-racking. However, once you find the right fit, I hope you feel empowered in the steps you've taken to better take care of yourself.
My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free space for you to feel heard and understood as you explore challenges related to racial identity, particularly if you identify as Asian, Asian-American, or as a Person/Woman of Color. Oftentimes, our lived experiences as POC (People of Color) can include stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict and trauma. I focus on helping you get in touch with what's no longer serving you or keeping you stuck, and collaborate in figuring out how to live a life that feels fulfilling, hopeful and aligns with your values.
Culturally-sensitive therapy can be a wonderful way to help you feel seen, foster your personal growth & development, and gain helpful tools to improve your quality of life. If this sounds like what you're looking for, it would be an honor to journey alongside you.
I welcome you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to assess for fit if you'd feel more comfortable doing so before an initial appointment.

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.

I am a licensed psychologist with many years of experience in cognitive behavioral therapy. I have had success using CBT to treat anxiety, panic, anger issues, insomnia, and chronic pain. Treatment is goal oriented, skill based, and backed by research.
I think that it is very important to learn to judge yourself and the world less harshly. I believe that our unrealistic thoughts and expectations are major contributors to our discontent. I have found that some of the concepts of Eastern and Stoic philosophy can help put our lives into better perspective.
I particularly like the aspects of psychology that are based on science. As a field, we know a lot about how people learn and how early experience shapes our current moods and behavior. I also like to incorporate current ideas in neurology and physiology that support behavior change.

Throughout the therapeutic process, I like to explore those hidden talents with you so that you can learn to celebrate, embrace, and use your gifts in practical ways. It is my hope that everyone leaves a conversation with me feeling empowered and excited to create changes that move them one step closer to their goals and being the best version of themselves.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the mental load of life—constantly juggling expectations, relationships, anxiety, or your identity as a woman, mother, or both? I work with women navigating these complex roles and transitions, especially those dealing with late-diagnosed ADHD, parenting stress, and the emotional realities of postpartum. My personal and professional experiences have shown me how often women’s needs are misunderstood, minimized, or unseen. I strive to be the kind of support I once needed.
My belief in therapy is rooted in the understanding that we are always growing and changing. Whether you're facing anxiety, burnout, intrusive thoughts, identity loss, or simply need a space where your feelings are validated, I offer a warm, empowering environment to explore those experiences without shame. I use a blend of cognitive and relational approaches to increase awareness, reshape thinking patterns, and help you reconnect with your sense of self.
My goal is to process both current challenges and past experiences to understand how they shape the present—and how we can move forward with intention. I believe therapy is not just about managing symptoms, but about rediscovering who you are beneath the expectations. You can be a good parent, a whole person, and someone who takes care of themselves—and in doing so, you model strength, boundaries, and self-worth for those around you.

My name is John Mekhail and I am a LCSW, who has been working as a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist for the last 3 years. I find DBT therapy to be quite fascinating, and complements CBT very well, while also focusing on some key aspects not addressed in CBT. I have an extensive background in mental health, as I worked for many years in the inpatient setting prior to working as an outpatient therapist. I feel this allowed me to exposed to a variety of diagnoses, and helped to build a deeper understanding and relationship to clients with mental illness.

I am focused on helping support clients through challenges in their lives through a strengths-based person- centered approach.
I believe that each individual has the capacity within themselves to elicit change and that part of the struggle is not being able to recognize their own internal strengths.
My role as a therapist is not to make decisions for other people but to help people build insight into making decisions for themselves. Empowerment is key and central to my practice and I devote time and dedication to forming a therapeutic alliance where you will feel safe, secure and heard.
My practice utilizes a variety of modalities because each person I work with is unique and what may work for some may not work for others.
Some of those treatment modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic approaches, solution-focused, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based.
If my approach sounds like what you are looking for, feel free to reach out and set a time to meet.
Thank you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified Trauma and ADHD specialist with extensive experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My journey in social work began at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and has led me to operate a private practice in Montgomery and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania. I offer my services throughout the state via telehealth, providing compassionate care and utilizing evidence-based therapeutic tools to help individuals overcome fear and anxiety.
The first steps towards therapy can be scary and daunting, but I'm here to celebrate your decision to seek help. I've meticulously crafted a safe, nurturing space to help you feel secure and cared for. This environment is designed to foster a new mindset, enhance self-esteem, and cultivate a new mindset that promotes joy and positivity. It's a place where you can increase self-awareness and self-curiosity, awakening and discovering a part of yourself long hidden in the complexities of anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or the impact of ADHD on executive functions.
I invite each client into the therapeutic process as a collaborative partner. Together, we create a plan tailored to meet your unique needs. This active engagement in the therapeutic process empowers you, fostering forward movement and helping you to achieve lasting growth and transformative change.
