Therapists in Bala Cynwyd, PA

People are in different stages in life and have their own circumstances. I want to help people who can identify that they may need some support with their mental health or want to start a journey to self understanding. In addition to people who are self initiated, I am familiar with people who struggle with many diagnoses, to name a few; anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder.

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!

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.

As a senior clinical psychologist at Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), I provide positive and strength-based CBT treatment that empowers clients from all backgrounds to overcome their challenges, increase their well-being, achieve their goals, and live life in line with their values. I enjoy helping my clients discover their aspirations and values, and learning how their cultures, backgrounds, and experiences can be mined for strengths. This meaningful work takes places within the context of a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Every day presents us with choices that shape our lives, whether they are challenges with interpersonal relationships, work-life balance, individual hopes and dreams, or something more. I believe in holistic well-being, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Whatever is in front of you, I will meet you there with empathy, respect, authenticity, and gratitude that you are allowing me the space to be a part of your counseling journey.

I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples who are seeking relief from pain, suffering and confusion. I work best with folks hoping to be part of process leading to a quick resolution. Once initial concerns are addressed, I find working with someone interested in additional explorations into the root of their issues, very rewarding.

I am a psychotherapist with many years experience working with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. Most of my sessions are virtual though I do some in-person sessions. I offer you a safe place to explore concerns and struggles, actively helping you find new, more satisfying directions forward. I am supportive and easy to talk to, known for being thoughtful and insightful as well as down-to-earth and direct. In addition to my therapy practice, I am the co-clinical director of the Philadelphia chapter of A Home Within and a board member and past-president of the Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work.

As a therapist and education advocate, I want to work with the clients who are ready to work to resolve conflict, process their emotions and relationship issues. Also, to help parents as advocates for their children's educational needs with a IFSP, IEP and 504 Plans. I feel that the role of the therapist and education advocate is a facilitator and support for the client to process what they are experiencing or have experienced. I feel that I am best suited to work with clients from the Family Systems Approach and Advocate of edcuation knowing that each individual is part of a familial context larger than themselves.

Psychology for YOU. If you are experiencing a problem or something troubles you in your mind, this is the moment to address it. The opportunity for you to express yourself and receive professional attention is in your hands now. If we work together we can reach your goals. “Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind.

Parenting Services for Families and After Adoption is a prevention-early intervention psychotherapy and educational practice for families with young children, both by birth and via adoption. Elaine Frank and Denise Rowe assist parents in getting to know their infants and toddler's personalities and ways of relating and communicating. The better one knows one's child, the more effective will be parenting strategies. Parent-child groups are a stimulating, enjoyable way to learn about aspects of the parent-child relationship, improve child and parent behavior, and learn about the 'ghosts' one brings from childhood to parenthood.

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.

Individual Therapy provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It can be a challenge to find a therapist who understands the deeper parts of you, your story, and your life. You want someone who can be supportive yet directive. In our work together I will provide a safe space for exploration and growth.

Just because you carry it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy. You deserve more than just being seen. The world is a scary and ever-changing place. Dealing with uncertainty, transition, and challenges puts stress on relationships, and on personal values. Curiosity, mindfulness, and a dialectical approach makes it possible to find meaning, and even pleasure, in some of the most bleak situations, with the right support.

How do you want your life to become better? What stands in your way? I work with individuals and couples to help them deal with the obstacles that prevent having a full life. I am certified in Brainspotting and specialize in trauma, anxiety and loss.
