Therapists in Bala Cynwyd, PA

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Safe Space Therapy. In an atmosphere of safety and trust, I support clients develop insight into their internal experiences and build the skills to support them in navigating their lives. My goal is to help clients create a new meaning of themselves and their experiences that comes from a place of strength and acceptance. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults and specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, identity development and life transitions. I speak English and French and enjoy working expats and first- and second-generation immigrants.

My professional focus is on children,adolescents and families. An additional focus is on the individuaI adult. Today, children and teens face adult issues at earlier ages. These challenges often affect the child's educational, social and psychological well-being, which in turn impacts the family as a whole. One of my strengths is dispelling confusion, increasing self-awareness and self-esteem. This assists in facing everyday stresses and challenges, for the child as well as the parent or adult. My work promotes improved confidence, self-esteem and offers insight. These changes will improve mood, performance and relationships.

I use an integrative approach that is personalized for your needs and am trained in and integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion approaches. I focus on nurturing strength and resilience.

We will discover where you are and where you want to go. I will provide tools; strategies and support that help you accomplish healing and create happiness.

Offering sessions in-person and through telehealth. We sometimes will challenges that we sometimes can't understand. We began to think that there isn't any way that we are going to get through this, that we are going to be the same again, or that we would ever see the bright side to this adversity. I am here to say to you that while you are hurting today, worried today, depressed today, and feeling hopeless....... today doesn't have to define the rest of your life.

Do you desire closeness and greater intimacy with your partner or spouse? Do you want to improve communication and avoid arguments? Is your sexual relationship tense? I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years experience specializing in relationship counseling and sex therapy. I help couples learn how to best listen and communicate needs clearly so that you and your partner can feel close again. I have been told that I am keenly in tune with my clients. I understand that seeking therapy, although not always an easy decision is a wonderful opportunity to restore your relationship with your partner/spouse or family member.

Calling all creative souls! I love working with teens and young adults during those tricky "coming of age" years. The silent struggle is so real - no one seems to understand! What you want is more of the fun and playful parts of life, but instead it feels like your inner critic is stuck on repeat. And the idea of dealing with it, hitting pause, or changing directions sounds nice except you have no clue where to start!

I love my approach to brain wave training with neurofeedback. It is broadly effective at producing substantial results in your life that are enduring. Most often I see people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, migraine, PTSD, addictions, bipolar and autism. I believe that most people with psychological issues have brain wave activity that is either over-aroused or under-aroused. That is, either too much or too little brain wave activity in either the fast or slow frequencies. Mental problems are a timing issue in the brain. These timing issues can be corrected by practicing a better way to function.

I am experienced and eager to help individuals and couples who want to make positive changes in their lives or cope with life stressors more effectively by use of cognitive-behavioral and problem-solving therapy and positive psychology. Therapy is intended to be goal-oriented and short-term. Couples are guided to regain intimate and personal connections they once had that may have been compromised by life stressors, infidelity, chronic or acute illness, parenting, age, sexual dysfunction, or simply growing apart. I aim to help people decrease distress, improve communication and problem solving, increase intimacy, and improve quality of life.

I am a licensed psychologist with extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapies. I strive to provide evidence-based care that is individualized to each person I work with. I collaborate with adults and couples in setting goals that are meaningful and important to them.

Everyone’s loss and grief is unique, and yet loss and grief are universal human experiences. There is no one right way to grieve. No universal stages or timetables. No specific coping strategies that are effective for everyone. Yet most people who have experienced a significant loss, have much in common and are able to find ways to cope with their loss and able to reinvest in life. We will find coping strategies that will work for you, positive ways to stay connected to your deceased loved one, and increase meaningful activity and interactions with others.

My work is focused on helping children and adults attain a deeper understanding, find relief, and forge a path forward. As a neuropsychologist, I specialize in providing clarity for those with complex psychological, educational, and medical presentations and help clients develop a plan that addresses their challenges and enables future success.

You may have considered finding a therapist for a while, wondering whether it's worth the risk. Are you struggling with physical symptoms, feelings or behaviors you don't particularly like, but can't seem to control? Have you found it difficult to make changes in your life, although you have tried many times on your own? Are you dissatisfied with how your relationships are going? Perhaps you wish you could be a more effective parent? Or maybe you already know there is "stuff" you haven't wanted to touch on your own, but it's not going away......., and you are ready to invest in healing whatever hurts? Then therapy can help.
