Therapists in Reading, PA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my BSW in 2014 from Kutztown University and then my MSW in 2019 from Widener University. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have experience working with clients who have depression, mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and grief/loss, auditory and visual hallucinations, self harm and suicidal ideation. I have worked with various mental health conditions and populations and enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I hope to foster an environment where you can feel safe and open to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and work on learning new and healthier ways to express and cope with your emotions and stressors. I believe in starting where you (the client) are and that it is important that we work together as a team while working on the goals that you feel are the most important for you to work on. The modalities I use most often are CBT, DBT and mindfulness approaches and I advocate for self care and learning new and healthier coping skills. I often promote self care practices, as I believe self care is vital for us all. It is often very easy to overlook self care. When we do not take care of ourselves, this can lead to feelings of burn out, anxiety and depression. I also like to teach clients about mindfulness, meditation, breath work, relaxation and coping strategies.I believe whole heartedly that compassion and empathy are vital not only in therapy but essential to being human. I believe that everyone deserves compassion, kindness and forgiveness and I believe it is not only important to give these to others but also to ourselves. I invite you to spend some time today engaging in much needed self care.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your therapy journey! My passion is working with teens and young adults navigating life stressors and anxieties around school/college, relationships, friends, or family. I will be an active listener and provide a safe environment to process challenging feelings.

Welcome. Are you struggling to set boundaries? Do you find yourself pouring far more into relationships than you receive? Do you find yourself drained, exhausted, and perhaps even resentful towards your loved ones? Our relationships can have a profound effect on our mental health, and our mental health and upbringing often impact how we behave in relationships. I love working with people with anxiety, social anxiety, complex trauma, or depression on improving relationships with themselves and others. And before I was a therapist, I was a birth doula, so I especially love working with pregnant and postpartum people.

I believe your life is a book, and while the early chapters may be heavy, they do not define your whole story. You have the power to write what happens next. My Approach I view your life as a narrative shaped by everything you’ve carried—trauma, grief, and joy alike. While what you’ve been through matters deeply, it is not your identity. I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to help you navigate your most difficult moments. In our work together, therapy becomes a safe space to explore how your past shows up in your present, especially within your relationships. By blending evidence-based tools with real talk, we’ll dive into the connection between your mind, body, and emotions to understand exactly where you feel stuck. My goal is to help you move from a place of surviving your history to intentionally authoring your future. How We’ll Work Together Healing is a journey of self-discovery—uncovering who you are and what you truly need. I hold our time together as sacred, providing a space for you to share both the positives and the negatives. Together, we will: Process Past Wounds: Ensure old traumas no longer dictate your future. Identify Patterns: Pinpoint the unhelpful cycles holding you back from genuine connection. Build Your Toolkit: Develop the skills to communicate needs and set healthy boundaries. Live Intentionally: Gain the courage to take deliberate steps toward a life of wholeness. My Commitment to You I provide compassionate and honest therapy for adults who want to change habits and perspectives that have been holding them back. I am here to empower you to truly know yourself, identify your needs, and gain the tools to express them. Your story is still being written. Let's make the next chapter your best one yet.

Hello there! My name is Grace and I am so glad you’re here! I have experience working with adolescents in the school based setting and have experience helping clients address challenges with, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ issues, neurodivergence, people pleasing, perfectionism, and women’s issues. My therapeutic approach is integrative, pulling from modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, existentialism, and person centered. I love to implement creativity, humour, and authenticity into the therapy space in hopes that it can soften the anxiety and apprehension that many individuals may face when it comes to therapy. I believe in creating a safe space for marginalized identities and employing a social justice and feminist framework. When working with clients, I like to meet them where they are, work collaboratively, and provide them with the support and guidance they need in order to achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you!
