Therapists in Pennsylvania

HI! I am Alisha and I am passionate about helping others navigate through their life journey. I’ve had eight years of learning experiences with diverse demographics including children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working to empower clients and advocate through mental health systems. I encourage clients to understand that self-concept plays a vital role in how the client sees themselves and their interactions through life.

I am multi-passionate therapist practicing in Pennsylvania. In my private practice I specialize in providing therapy to adults and children as well as couples who are faced with the stressors of life and help with building skills and decision making. I am committed to helping others stop suffering in silence and not only learn how to navigate the complexities of your everyday life but find ways to thrive in the experience rather than just deal with it. I enjoy working with others and helping people who are finding themselves in turmoil or disconnected in their relationships and help them to learn new ways to open up communicate, deepen their connection and revitalize their relationships with others. I am an avid believer in the importance of living mindfully and I bring my own experience in mindful living into sessions with my clients. I live in the South-Central part of Pennsylvania with my wife and 3 children.

I have an LPC and an LMFT and have been seeing clients since 1996. I have extensive training in helping people who are going through or have experienced narcissistic abuse and any form of childhood trauma, this includes verbal and emotional abuse, family addictions, or any early childhood experience that would cause one to feel unsafe. I am also experienced in the treatment of anxiety, worry and mood concerns and work with addictions, obsessive compulsive behaviors and any poor coping skills or core beliefs that were developed in order to manage these stressors. I use practices primarily focused on somatic and cognitive therapy but also utilize acceptance commitment therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness and am solution focused. I use homework and assignments aimed at regulating the nervous system in order to repair the fight/flight/freeze response that is often stuck on due to a continuous history of a variety of life stressors (trauma). This trapped and stored trauma continues to trigger the nervous system to respond in ways where we continue to feel unsafe, even after the threats have passed. By working with the nervous system to release this trapped trauma and find safety, we can then have the opportunity to respond to the world differently.

Dr. Susan Shipley practices clinical psychology and works with clients, both adults and children. During your sessions, your unique life experiences and goals shall be respected. Sessions include compassionate counseling, keen observation, and collaboration. We will address your situations, relationships, and ineffective coping with evidence-based therapy techniques. Learn helpful tools to meet goals to overcome what’s holding you back. My clients often have challenges such as anxiety, depression, and grief. I've had experiences working with young adults with anorexia, and people with phobias, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive thoughts and other intrusive thoughts, and folks who may have an over dependence on another person, place or thing. Addiction and recovery are areas of my expertise. I'm a school psychologist familiar with children with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and parents. Occasionally life challenges meet us at a particularly vulnerable time, and I work with people who have adjustment to such life changes, people who find they are severely co-dependent on others with addiction dependency, the alcoholic and drug dependent person. In addition, I've assisted those experiencing grief, including job loss. I'm an artist myself and a trained art therapist. I found, art making often speaks with more feeling and force than words alone. We will incorporate art if you choose. CBT works in a collaborative manner between the therapist and the client. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing your needs. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with others and most importantly yourself. You have found a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

Many clients come to work with me at a time in their lives when they feel stuck, lost, or unsure due to trauma, intense loss, or a major life transition. During these times, the people in their lives may not always know or understand how to help. This can be such a painful place to be, but just know that you don't have to go thru this alone. My expertise is in working with survivors of childhood abuse and domestic violence. Helping people comes naturally to me. I've also been confronted with difficult challenges and struggles in life where I understand how overwhelming it could feel to take that first step in seeking help. If this work has taught me anything it's taught me this: Change takes time and is a process, but there is more hope, possibility, and power when we work together to bring about change. My approach is simple-I will meet you where you are and together we can start your journey towards positive change and personal growth. If you think we will be a good fit please reach out to schedule a consultation-I am looking forward to working with you and helping you on your journey towards personal growth.
