Psychodynamic Therapists in Pennsylvania

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. You're taking a big step for yourself. My main ways of thinking that I lean towards are: compassion-focused, psychodynamic, attachment styles, and emotion-focused. I've been described by clients as patient, having a positive unconditional regard, and being able to challenge them to help them take steps toward growth. This process isn't always easy. My goal is to create a place where you can feel seen, safe, challenged, and supported, so that we can create lasting change. My approach leans toward being more direct and inquisitive, but with compassion. For releasing emotions, beliefs and trauma from the body I use the somatic and neurological technique of Brainspotting.

As a therapist, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment to look at the inner workings of yourself and also process the various things that impact your life on an individual and structural level. I’ve worked across levels of care, including IOP and inpatient hospital settings, supporting teens and adults of various backgrounds navigating mental health challenges, trauma, and dual diagnoses. My background in trauma-informed case management with immigrants and refugees and research on women of color at predominantly White institutions shapes my systems-aware, culturally responsive approach in addition to my lived experience.

Hello! I'm Wayne, a dedicated licensed mental health professional with a rich background in individual therapy and group counseling. My passion lies in helping people navigate life's challenges through tailored treatment plans and supportive interventions. With a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Services from Lehigh University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my practice. In my current role, I manage a full caseload, providing personalized therapy to each client. In practice, this covers a broad range of topics for the focus of treatment, from anger management and emotion regulation skills development to LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. My experience extends to specialized areas such as addiction issues, trauma counseling, motivational interviewing, and empowerment counseling. I've worked extensively with diverse communities in various settings, advocating not only for improved access to mental health care but also for more culturally competent and culturally responsive services. Outside of direct counseling, I've contributed to research that explores the impact of race on teacher-student relationships and have engaged in community outreach efforts. Committed to continuous learning, I've also completed certifications in addressing unconscious bias and understanding the mental health impacts of domestic violence I take pride in my ability to create a safe and understanding environment for clients. Whether you're dealing with interpersonal problems, emotion regulation difficulties, or a challenging transition, I'm happy to help you start or continue your journey to wellness. In order to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible, I operate via telehealth only. Please reach out to schedule a virtual appointment.

Welcome! Examining life is like inspecting a car, each part — the engine, wheels, and brakes, are components interacting to ensure smooth operation. Changes in one part affect the entire driving experience, much like shifts and challenges in specific aspects of our lives impact our overall functioning. As a holistic-based therapist with a focus on a systems theory lens, I approach therapy by considering the entirety of the individual. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we will delve into multiple factors that can profoundly influence your overall health.

Hi! I'm Grace, a white, queer, disabled, cis-woman. I most often work with queer and trans folx who are experiencing depression and anxiety, chronic illness and medical trauma, and/or attachment trauma. I also provide peer coaching to chronically ill folx and offer specialized supervision on chronic illness and disability to able-bodied clinicians.

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! 

Hello, and welcome.  I invite you to my practice, to guide and support you along the way, in your journey in caring for yourself.  Do you have difficulty with managing stress and are looking for the tools to help you get through the day? Are you feeling down, or maybe anxious, and need someone to just listen? Or perhaps you’re going through a very difficult time and want to talk to someone but you don’t even know where to begin. With a warm and empathic counseling style, you will find that in working with me, you are supported from a non-judgmental standpoint, and together we will build a trusting relationship where you can feel comfortable.     I offer free 15-minute consults. Contact me to set up a time to talk, and we’ll take it from there.   Know that you are not alone, and you deserve to get the help you are looking for.  

Hi! I'm currently accepting new clients. We all overcome struggles and push through our discomfort to survive day to day. I believe we don’t have to do it alone. Life feels easier and more enjoyable when we have support and a safe space to process what we are experiencing. I strive to create that space and be that supportive person in your life so you can do more than just survive another day.
