Therapists in Pennsylvania

I work collaboratively with you to create positive changes in your life, resolve challenges, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and authentic. I believe it is important to understand who you are as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or label. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, compassionate, and centered on your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered therapy, psychodynamic principles, play therapy, and EMDR. I also have a strong background in the Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based (DIR) model and specialized training in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). These frameworks help me better support individuals and families, particularly those navigating neurodiversity, trauma, and complex emotional experiences.

As a holistic therapist, I believe real change happens when you feel understood, supported, and given practical tools that fit your life. I’m down-to-earth, collaborative, and genuinely curious about what makes you *you*. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want—one step at a time. I am not a "blank slate" therapist and will both feel with you and for you when you are in a tough situation. While I consider myself a safe and nonjudgmental person, I will challenge you once we have built a relationship to ensure you are focused on your growth.

As of 1/7/2025 only accepting individual clients for new referrals! My passion is working with children, teenagers, young adults, couples and families to process trauma and difficult experiences so they can experience growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. Through my work with individuals and family's I have learned the deep importance of understanding "what has happened" to people rather than viewing people through the lens of "what is wrong with people". Likewise, the importance of understanding one's family of origin and how this shapes our views of people and the world and impacts how we relate with people and navigate our world. I work from a relational, psychodynamic, family-systems, trauma-informed, and neurobiological perspective. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs.

For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

"Welcome. I'm Jeanette DeSilva, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), with 16 years dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their journey to lasting freedom from issues such as substance abuse, poor coping skills, anxiety and depression. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing addresses the whole person—mind, emotions, body, and spirit. In our work together, I integrate the evidence-based principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The core idea of CBT is that our thoughts significantly influence our feelings and behaviors. Together we'll work collaboratively to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use, destructive behaviors and unhealthy coping. My goal is to equip you with practical, effective skills to manage triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and navigate the challenges of recovery and struggles with depression, anxiety and destructive core beliefs. We will focus on: Identifying Triggers: Recognizing the people, places, and thoughts that prompt the urge to use. Developing Coping Skills: Learning practical strategies for refusing substances and managing difficult emotions effectively. Building a Supportive Life: Fostering healthy social support systems and making positive lifestyle changes that support sobriety, string mental health and overall well-being. You are not alone in this struggle. I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic space where we can work together to help you achieve lasting change and overcome emotional and/or addictive struggles and become healthy and whole.

I am honored to be able to offer guidance to clients in feeling safe and at peace in the present moment and move forward on their journey of self-understanding.

Hello. I look forward to working with you. My own background is one of growing up on farms, having little money and ambitious dreams. I did not know what it was but I knew I wanted to go to college and get out of the tobacco fields. My dreams came true. I ended up being a psychologist and a teacher, spending decades working in residential treatment then in schools, the last 13 years working with preschoolers and their families to prepare them to succeed in school. As a teacher, I taught many college and university courses as well as workshops, most recently to address grief and trauma. I am also an artist, a dancer and a writer and like to bring co-creativity to others. In the early 1990's, I felt led to live and work at or near the world center of Quakers called Pendle Hill in PA. There I studied and taught Arts and Spirituality while also serving as a Psychologist in nearby schools. I came to see the importance of Co-Creativity (creating together a piece of life we truly want to live for). My specialties in the Arts have been writing, visual arts and dancing/movement from a "no wrong way" perspective. I incorporate these into the therapy process as they become beneficial. For much of my life, I have also been engaged with my own therapeutic process. Having been the client for several years, gives me the perspective of what might be important to you as we work together, never assuming I know or forgetting to ask you. In our sessions, I want to hear about you, find our starting points and from there develop action plans each session to work on the goals needed to find the life you dream of and are willing to work toward.

Hello, I’m Vicki. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults who often appear capable and steady on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot for others, managing responsibilities, and pushing through, even when it feels like something is quietly unraveling beneath the surface. Therapy with me is a collaborative and supportive space to slow down and begin making sense of what you are holding. Together, we focus on understanding emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and the stories you have learned to tell about yourself. Rather than rushing toward solutions, we work at a pace that feels safe and respectful, allowing room for curiosity, reflection, and meaningful change. My approach is person centered and informed by Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This allows us to explore both the emotional and practical aspects of your experience. We may look at how different parts of you show up under stress, examine beliefs that no longer serve you, and build skills that support clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and greater self trust. I believe that people already carry an inherent capacity for growth and healing, even when it does not feel accessible. My role is not to fix or judge, but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your sense of agency, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic.
