Find a Therapist in Spring City, Pennsylvania.

When I work with clients individually, I provide a safe place for them to talk about their problems and move toward finding solutions that will make further treatment unnecessary. .It really shouldn’t be necessary for therapy to go on for years. I am very interactive with people, am a good listener and a firm believer that humor provides needed objectivity to promote treatment. Even though we are talking about personal problems, I examine the family and social environments to provide a context for the client.

Clients will get a better understanding of how their current behaviors/relationships are influenced by their past family, school, work, and history. I provide a safe environment for clients to examine if and how they are going to change to better their lives and increase their level of happiness. I utilize a variety of treatment methods and give challenging "assignments" to help clients realize their full potential and practice skills taught in sessions. The trusting relationship I build with a client in therapy is my best therapeutic tool as clients can then safely explore topic "usually" uncomfortable in the outside world.

With over 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist, I have developed a variety of tools to successfully deal with a wide range of psychological issues. Whether you suffer from depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, panic attacks, or other challenges, together we work to design a program that fits your needs, empowering you to create a life of greater peace and contentment.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Psychotherapy can be a wonderful outlet to find peace and solutions to lifes issues. I help my clients through a practical and solution focused approach. My work is often seen as more coaching and less "therapy". I am experienced in helping individuals with a wide range of personal issues. However, my expertise in clinical work is with addictions.

I utilize both cognitive behavioral & psychodynamic techniques to not only alleviate present symptoms but to begin identifying & resolving the underlying cause. Much like physical pain, which can often be addressed with medication, it is critical to understand & attend to what is causing the pain. This process involves exploring both the present & the past to recognize how different patterns & coping strategies developed as well as how they may be altered, creating a more healthful life. Some individuals come briefly & focus on a specific concern & others longer term to more deeply explore themselves & their patterns. There's no set way to do this. It's about what you need & where you are.

Psychotherapy can help you understand the hidden emotions which affect your everyday thoughts and behaviors. I can help you recognize the underlying fears and motives which drive you to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Whether your pain is rooted in a difficult past, unhealthy relationships or lifelong mental health struggles, healing is possible. I will help you recognize unhealthy patterns that keep repeating themselves in your life, robbing you of closeness with others and inner peace. Then you will be able to grow toward thinking and feeling in new ways and relating to others differently. You don't have to stay stuck in the same painful place; there is hope.

“The Golden Rule” can be a helpful guide to psychotherapy: treating others as you would like to be treated, with gentleness, pacing, and respect. If a counseling session is likened to conversing with a knowledgeable advisor on the doorstep of your home, psychotherapy can be like inviting that advisor into the “parlor” or “living room” of your inner world based on trust, at-ease-ness, and confidence in your advisor’s insight. My approach to psychotherapy is interactive and strengths-based, starting with cognitive (thought-based) or behavioral coping skills, and moving into awareness of family of origin themes and the impact of past trauma when needed to activate more enduring personal growth in the client.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I use psychotherapy to help individuals address underlying sources of ongoing painful problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, and chronic problematic relationship patterns. This may include exploring past family dynamics and significant childhood events that have affected development. Increased understanding of the past can often lead to improvement in the present. I recommend tackling problems at their source because this allows the possibility of more permanent and deeper healing than can be achieved by simply addressing symptoms. As past events are gradually processed and resolved, we often feel that an emotional burden has been lifted; we just plain feel better!

Are you feeling hurt, overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Psychotherapy can help. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic which means that together we will seek to understand how, over time, you have learned to perceive yourself, others and the world. I will integrate complementary therapies such as Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral when appropriate as we work together to unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a full and meaningful life. With clients working through trauma, I provide safe anchors to help you regain a sense of empowerment and balance.

Let’s face it – many children and teenagers don’t like therapy or counseling. It’s boring. It’s uncomfortable. They’re not sure how it’s supposed to work. I approach kids differently than most therapists do. I don’t bombard them with a lot of questions and I don’t try to “get” them to talk with me—an undertaking I find as insulting to us both as it is unproductive. Instead, I introduce a variety of topics and see which ones evolve into conversations that can heal, animate, encourage, stimulate, or inspire. I answer questions, offer opinions, and say what I think is going on without ever trying to muscle any points across. I work quickly, but never rush.

Psychotherapy can be helpful for a wide array of issues that you feel are stunting you in life. Whether you are dealing with the past or present, mental health issues, relational issues, and so on, I would love to meet with you. My approach to psychotherapy is to take the time needed to understand you as a person (i.e. exploring your past, your relationships, your struggles, what brings you joy, etc.), identifying the challenges that you have that are making life difficult, learning and practicing coping skills and/or how to do life differently, and to empower, support, and cheer you on in the process of change.

Life is valuable. It is too important not to feel as good as you can as you journey through life. Sometimes issues in our lives in the present come from concerns in the past. At REACH Counseling, we explore what your goals are for your life and how you can reach them all in a supportive, caring environment. We provide an atmosphere where we really listen to you and what you are going through. We help you find your internal and external resources to deal with life's concerns.

Therapy can provide the opportunity to express and process emotions in order to understand the root of a problem as well as create the possibility for lasting positive change. Therapy can also be a safe place where not only can you learn about who you are, you can come to understand what you want for your life. Therapy can help you make sense out of the loss and past traumas as well as a place to give voice and understand better our story and the meaning we make from that story we want to tell to others about our life and who we are.
