My approach to therapy is to build a trusting relationship where you can start to explore your questions, current pain points, and life story without fear of judgment. My specialty is working with individuals navigating significant changes in their life - loss, identity formation, exploring sexuality, navigating divorce, or becoming a new parent. My approach draws from anti-racist, trauma informed, psychodynamic, systems-focused frameworks.

I help a wide range of clients: those seeking personal growth as well as those moving through depression, anxiety, betrayal, grief, career and life transitions or interpersonal tensions or conflicts. I assist individuals, couples and leaders during times of conflict or life/career transition to move with intention toward new possibilities. When a client is feeling stuck or struggling to pay attention to "what matters most", we work in a collaborative way to recognize underlying obstacles to their well-being and identify practical actions to move them forward.

I am dedicated to helping individuals break loose from feeling stuck in bad habits, past memories, or unhealthy relationships. If you feel like you just can't measure up to the version of yourself that you know you can be, I would like to listen. Once you've felt heard, we can figure out how to get you unstuck from your current situation. No one escapes this world without getting hurt but that should not stop you from making a life worth living for yourself. I create sessions that are totally about you and our goals will come from what you want to see change in your life.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Have events in your life impacted your mood, motivation, or energy? Managing life can be hard, and if your usual strategies are not working, and you are looking for new approaches, seeking support can help. Taking this step is a strength and a part of your wellness journey. Dr. Terrina Brooks (ReTap Life, PLLC) is a licensed psychologist in PA who provides a safe, collaborative, therapeutic relationship that is insight-oriented, strengths-based, and culturally-responsive. She helps clients tap into their unique psychological, cultural, and spiritual strengths as they navigate life.

You are more than the painful experiences you have endured. You may feel triggered in everyday situations or feel alone and isolated. You may struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, or guilt. However, you have a sense of your life purpose — and long to live your life more authentically. You are ready for relief. You're ready to love who you truly are and face your future with a sense of hope. In our work together, you will gain a deeper respect for what makes you unique. Through connecting with your core, authentic self, you can experience greater ease, freedom, and self-acceptance.

Therapy can seem daunting and overwhelming if you have not experienced it or had a negative experience in the past. The most important part of therapy is establishing a trusting relationship with your therapist that allows you to feel comfortable, heard, and validated. In therapy (and in life), I take a strengths-based, growth stance. I truly believe you are doing your best AND you have room to grow. My place in the therapy room is to take the journey with you. I love helping adolescents and emerging adults with their identity exploration and helping them to be true and authentic to who they are (however that may apply to them).

I am a Licensed Psychologist for in person therapy sessions in Pennsylvania. I am also PsyPact certified for virtual sessions in the most states (please contact me about your state). At this time I am expanding my practice to include more sessions for adults. Adult specialties include Autism, ADHD, executive functions, difficulty with managing work/life balance, attention/memory struggles, anxiety, and depression. I am also a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families.

Hello and congratulations on your decision to explore therapy! I am an outcomes-focused therapist skilled in tackling hard-to-change patterns. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and to the point. I value helping clients get exactly what they want and need so they can successfully move forward without becoming perpetually dependent on a therapist. Therapy does not have to go on and on indefinitely. You can experience change and you can maintain change on your own. If you're seeking an open-minded therapist who can help you effectively address and achieve your goals - let's talk!

Seeking therapy can be incredibly difficult. Many of us blindly navigate life with conflicts that we relate to the now instead of understanding our pasts. I understand the stigma placed on mental health, but also aim to work at your speed to make this a comfortable experience. During this therapeutic journey, you are making a choice to begin your true healing process with a dedicated guide. My style is person-centered and interactive, which aims to allow your authentic self to emerge.

My goal is for each person I work with to feel seen and accepted as they are, and over time to be able to view themselves through a compassionate lens that acknowledges both strengths and challenges. I approach therapy as both a learning and a healing experience. I work to help people identify and understand their values, beliefs, and behavioral and relational patterns, so that they can assess whether these continue to be a good fit for them.

Psychotherapy is a powerful process through which we can learn about the ways we attempt to manage difficult circumstances, feelings, and conflicts through the lens of our experiences and relationships both past and present. Therapy is an opportunity for individuals to develop their own understanding of how they came to be who they are- and why. This often provides valuable information about how we might meet present day challenges across the broad demands of everyday life. Therapy can be very effective for most people, and I make every effort to create a welcoming and collaborative environment.

Are you a parent of a struggling TEEN who needs support or an ADULT who feels stuck and unsure of your path? I can help! I never forgot what it is like to be a teen, and I am pretty sure I am now an adult who also knows grief, anxiety, and depression. I understand what it is like to be out of the box and find a place in the world. I, too, feel I am out of the box, as are my techniques. I believe laughter should find its place even in the darkest places and weave humor wherever it may fit. I am also well versed in all methods, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, etc., but the connection between therapist and client is essential for growth.

I am a relational and sex therapist for individuals and couples. I help folx struggling with boundariy setting, be it with partners, family, work, friendships and other types of relationships. As a sex therapist, I believe that sex and intimacy are parts of the human experience, and I know that not everyone is eager to talk about these parts of themselves. I help clients build confidence in being able to talk about these areas in order to have the type of sex life they want.
