Therapists in Pennsylvania

Welcome! I'm Brad Barninger, a passionate advocate for mental health with over two decades of experience in the healthcare field. My journey has taken me from providing direct care and psychotherapy to spearheading innovative mental health programs. Currently, as the Director of Behavioral Health Services, I am dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disorders through compassionate and effective behavioral interventions. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my role in leading a 38-bed transitional living center and improving patient satisfaction scores as the Senior Director at Wellspan Philhaven. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, I've completed rigorous training to ensure the highest standard of care for my clients. My approach is collaborative, working closely with hospital staff, medical professionals, and community partners to deliver comprehensive mental health services. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I am here to provide expert guidance and unwavering support on your path to well-being.

It is not easy finding the courage to address the things that have impacted your relationships and prevented you from establishing and maintaining real intimacy. At Journey From Within, LLC, we want to help you navigate from the inside out and build a solid foundation that inspires, encourages, and supports each individual. So often, we are unaware of how our upbringing affects our current relationships. We want to assist you with learning to thrive in your relationships and not merely survive one individual, couple, and family at a time.

I am dedicated to helping people overcome their struggles and become more connected with themselves and others. I've worked in Human Services since 1995 and have been a Mental Health Therapist since 2002. My training includes many modalities but what I find to be the important is understanding where people are in their lives through actively listening to people's experience, being supportive and identifying what works best for each person. This creates a safe environment where people feel heard, accepted and validated. I utilize a great deal of basic psycho-education, behavioral skill building and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Other training I've had include family/marriage therapy training, EMDR and a host of other evidence based modalities. Additionally, as needed I incorporate indigenous mindfulness practices and Qigong for a wide range of issues. I work from a holistic, person centered position and engage with you to build a collaborative relationship around your strengths and interests. I am able to provide concrete steps forward to improve your mental health and day to day life. Please reach out so we can get started on this journey!

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

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.
