Therapists in Pennsylvania

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.

Do you struggle with feeling an abrupt surge of fear that seems hard to predict? Maybe it is easy to predict and hard to control. Does the thought of what others might think or say prevent you from making connections with others? Experiencing doubt and uncertainty about the future can be difficult and make it hard to navigate life. Worrying about decisions that need to be made can leave us feeling stuck. Feeling like the effort you make at work, in school, and in relationships is greater than the the outcome achieved?

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma therapy approaches. My years of professional experience as a teacher and counselor, along with my lived experiences as a Black person allow me to provide empathetic regard while helping clients from multicultural backgrounds.

Sometimes you just can't. You have been trying so hard for so long but you feel like a failure. You just don't adult like other people.

I love to use my skills to help people who are wrestling with emotional pain and daily life struggles. I want you to see yourself and the world in a new way. To stop experiencing days that feel like a dumpster fire. To feel hopeful about your life. To feel safe.To accept your imperfections and like yourself anyhow.

Hi! My name is Mary Beth and I am happy that you have come to the Grow Therapy website. I earned a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Grief and Trauma from Arcadia University and have been practicing for 10 years. First, I want to congratulate you on taking a big step towards improving your mental health! Maybe you are feeling sad and are crying more than you ever remember. Or perhaps you are feeling anxious and panicky and you don't understand why. Maybe you are up all night, tossing and turning and sleep just doesn't come. Do you feel stuck in a relationship that is unhealthy and can't think straight or how to express your feelings effectively? Many of us have been there before and need support. I have a proven record of helping my clients feel better and experience joy in their lives. First I build trust in our relationship by listening in a nonjudgmental and safe way. I help you envision your goals - what you would like your life to look like? Together we will process your challenges and identify the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are not working for you. Also, I will introduce effective coping and communication skills which we can practice together to increase your confidence. I can help you become more aware of how your thinking and emotions affect your behavior and how you can challenge unhealthy thoughts that lead to overwhelming emotions. Then together we can identify your unique strengths (everyone has them) and find ways to employ them for success. I believe strongly in the mind and body connection and increasing self-awareness. I teach mindfulness skills to improve self-control which helps people stay in the present without constantly ruminating about the difficulties of the past or their fears about the future. I am trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) which is effective for those who experience problems with emotional instability and impulsiveness. While healthy relationships are often the bedrock of a joyful life, relationships can also cause pain. Together we can identify the dynamics of these relationships and then identify effective ways to repair them or find new and more healthy ones. If this sparks your interest, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.

I will guide you through any barriers while we work together to develop and reach your goals.

Welcome! My name is Kali. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I want to acknowledge your courage and the importance of this moment. You are taking the first steps towards healing and rediscovering who you are. Change or events in life can develop a sense of feeling uneasy or just leaving you feeling "off". This feeling can grow to the point that it can be hard to manage and may start to impact your day-to-day life, sense of security, understanding of yourself, and/or relationships with others. Having a space to know you are able to talk about these stressors or struggles is important but feeling that you have this space is just as, and sometimes, more important. This is what we can develop together. Therapy is a collaboration between both you and me, to develop a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space to discuss any concerns or struggles you may be facing. We can build and practice skills to use outside of therapy, review maladaptive or unhelpful thought patterns, better understand your needs in order to have strong boundaries, and creating your own safe space to practice processing the stressors in life are key aspects to our work together. We will work at your own pace and create goals that target what you need or want within therapy.

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.
