| español Hi! My name is Geraldine Peña, a therapist, a wellness advocate, & speaker. I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I obtained a Master of Education in Counseling at The Pennsylvania State University in 2017. Since then I have been working with children, teens and their families to help them grow in their attachment and emotional regulation. I have experience and knowledge using the Eco-Systemic Family therapy model and am IFS informed to help guide individuals in developing stronger, positive interactional patterns with those around them.
My speciality is working with Latinx people who struggle within their attachment style and this this effects their current interrelationships with others. My work lies within helping those with: childhood trauma, sexual violence, post-traumatic-stress disorder, issues with attachment, depression and anxiety.
I am passionate about helping guide teens and adults of minority backgrounds to live a more healed, truthful and peaceful life. Providing you a safe space, in your native language and with someone of similar cultural background, will allow you to feel heard and process any adversities, pain, and trauma you may have experienced. Reach out to me!
