Springfield, PA - Accepting clients in PA
Are you struggling in your relationships? Maybe disruptive behavior is making it difficult to connect with your teenager. Maybe you are struggling in your relationship with your partner or even in the relationship you have with yourself.
Hi! I’m Samantha and I work together with my clients, who include adolescents, adults, and families, to find realistic and creative solutions to the struggles they are facing. I enjoy drawing on the strengths of my clients and being a part of their journey of making the changes they want in their lives.
Over the last 12 years, I’ve helped my clients with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, supporting individuals and families living with autism spectrum disorder and improving social skills. I do my work under the umbrella of the family systems approach. Knowing that therapy is not a one size fits all, I employ the use of play therapy, CBT, psychodynamic, structural family therapy, solution-focused, narrative and attachment-based therapy.
If you are ready to begin your journey toward change that works for you, reach out to me and we can begin to craft the deeper relationships that you want in your life.

Hi! I'm Julia.
Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this step towards improving your self care and well being!
I recognize the complexity and difficulty of addressing emotional pain, and I like to bring warmth, compassion and humor to the process.
I specialize and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. I work with clients through the unpredictability of trying to start a family, including adoption and fertility issues. I support families who are facing the pain of pregnancy loss, or dealing with the aftermath of birth trauma. I treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that arise during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. I provide a skilled perspective to help clients learn how to ride the waves of this delicate and vulnerable time.
I use a person-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. I believe in building and maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship, to help you heal from past traumas, live peacefully in the present moment, and feel hopeful about the future.

I am trained in EMDR and working toward certification for EMDR. EMDR is helpful, especially for individuals with a history of trauma or other experiences found distressing, as it helps people change the way the brain has stored the traumatic or distressing memory so that it no longer has the same negative impact on the individual. I aim to build a strong therapeutic rapport with clients as this is beneficial to treatment and, often, helps expedite treatment. I take into account the unique experience of each individual and offer a safe space free of judgement for clients to feel heard.

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.

Liverpool, PA - Accepting clients in PA
Since I was 17, I’d always wanted to be a therapist. I learned that sometimes it takes more than just healing the mind in order to heal the whole person. That means that sometimes people need healing on emotional, psychological and spiritual levels. I then received two masters degrees, one in mental health counseling, and the other in the applied healing arts. Utilizing both these degrees has helped me to combine both traditional and alternative therapies into my work.

Hi, I'm Debra, and I love being a therapist. It is a privilege to provide support and guidance to people working to better themselves and to connect to others in such a meaningful way. I work with folks ages 12 and up to manage anxiety, depression, and stress as well as develop coping skills and improve self esteem.
Counseling is a collaborative process in which a strong therapeutic relationship is vital to successful client outcomes. I am strengths based in practice, meaning YOUR unique attributes and skills are central to eliciting positive changes and facing adversity.
Though my default approaches are person centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral, I am trained in various evidence based techniques. I am adaptive to the unique and specific needs of each person I serve. I take pride in striving for a high level of cultural competency and believe great value is found in learning about and celebrating diversity.
