For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I would tell them that therapy is a safe space where they can feel heard and understood without judgment. It's an opportunity to build healthier relationships and gain tools to navigate life's challenges. Everyone deserves support, and therapy can be a powerful step towards healing and personal growth.

I believe everyone tries their best, but sometimes life can be challenging. How we connect with safe people and places when we’re young affects how we handle our emotions as we grow up. When we lack stability and security, it can be hard to function well. I am dedicated to helping adolescents, couples, and families find trust and safety in their relationships. My experience includes Marriage and Family Counseling, Individual Counseling, School Counseling, Community Counseling, and Treatment for Opioid Addiction. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I specialize in addressing relational issues in marriages, couples, families, and individuals. My focus is on attachment-based interventions, which help people become safe, secure, and stable in their lives. I use a relational-based, attachment-focused therapy approach, adapting to each individual's unique needs. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to help people build healthier relationships and lead more fulfilling lives. *Specialties •Mental Health •Psychotherapy *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •PTSD •ADHD •Addiction •Relationship issues •Family counseling •Trauma •Panic attacks •Substance use disorder •Grief and Loss •Counseling •Learning disabilities *Treatment philosophy I believe in support, transparency , and desiring to join with clients where they are in life. *Treatment approach •Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) •Eclectic •Trauma-Focused •Person-Focused •Emotionally Focused •Culturally Sensitive •Attachment based •Family Systems •Support Focused •Relational Focus

I would suggest to set an intention to attend four sessions and see if you can identify any changes from starting. Don't think big picture just look at the first few sessions and then decide if you want to move forward long term with counseling support.

Treatment philosophy: I am a good listener that likes to get input from the individual prior to making suggestions and providing education. I also expect collaboration from my clients, who will practice what I consider the ABC’s of treatment progress: adhering to discussed treatment, being brave/bold enough to consider the possibilities of changes in treatment, and challenging yourself to seek complementary treatment (psychotherapy, exercise, diet, strengthening your support system, etc.), as not all problems are solved by medications.

Therapy is a safe space for healing and growth. It’s not about being "broken" or needing "fixing." It's about giving yourself the chance to better understand your thoughts and emotions. I believe that therapy can provide the tools to help you overcome challenges, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilled and balanced life.

"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"

Therapy is support. At times it's difficult to ask for support because we've told ourselves we can "handle it" or even have fears of "being a burden." First off--Of COURSE you can "handle it." You can keep doing what you're doing and survive day after day. But there is more than daily survival. There is thriving with joy, satisfaction, and confidence. As for that burden thing--that just doesn't apply in counseling. It's the opposite. You're learning to be in control of your life in new ways. A truly admirable journey. Simply: Therapy includes laughing, crying, yelling, silence, and everything else that is natural in life. Instead of coping in ways that no longer work. We will work together to create new reactions and patterns to maximize your daily experience.

HI! I’M MAGGIE DICKENS (SHE/HER/HERS).I’M INTERESTED IN PUSHING THROUGH WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN TOLD ABOUT PAIN.THE PHYSICAL. THE EMOTIONAL. As a Texas based licensed professional counselor, I know there is more life for you to live. Now, I am sure you’ve thought this too..but that was before. Before the hurting seemed to take over. Before your life began to revolve around fears of planning ahead and letting yourself and others down because you’re having, yet another, “bad day.” I am here to tell you that all those thoughts swirling around your mind, keeping you up at night, saying you “can’t”, or are focused on “what was” … are, well, simply-- they’re outdated. Perhaps at one time or another there may have been some truth in there, somewhere. But today, by reading this, seeking out counseling, you’re already telling those pesky, annoying, overwhelming, thoughts-- that you recognize there is more to life. This is where I come in. My role is one of “guard rails.” You know the life you’re ready to live. I am here to help you pave the road for your success. Counseling with me is one that is collaborative and is built on mutual understanding, respect, and commitment to show up and do what needs to be done. Some of that work includes purposeful discussions to change those beliefs that keep you overwhelmed and education for you to learn how to maximize your life AND thoughts, feelings, actions! My favorite tool to use in counseling is clinical hypnosis. Basically, because it’s proven to enhance client outcomes, reduce length of treatment, and is a tool you will be able to use throughout the rest of your life. When you’re ready to push through the stuckness of the current status quo -- I’m here to support you in finding the life you know is out there for you!
