Therapy is a space to get to know and make friends with yourself through a collaborative and supportive relationship. My therapeutic style combines mindfulness approaches, somatic work, and psychodynamic principles, ensuring our sessions are open to whatever arises, all with a purposeful focus. My passion lies not just in understanding your story but in walking with you on a journey of genuine self-discovery and acceptance. I aim to create a safe and personalized space that suits your unique needs. I invite you to empower yourself toward a fulfilled and authentic life by starting where you are with openness and curiosity.

My approach to therapy and healing is rooted in the understanding that our experiences with systems of power and oppression and the space we have had to hold our pain can deeply impact our connection to self, the body, and community. I reject the racialized notion that the therapist is the expert in the room, and encourage folks to hold themselves as the expert of their lives. I believe that each person is multi-dimensional, and that they already hold within them the capacity to heal and grow.

Let's take a journey together! You're the driver on this road trip that we will take together; as the therapist/co-pilot, I will help you navigate and explore, work through those bumps and winding curves in the road, and maybe find alternative ways to get to the destination. Maybe you're finding yourself stuck in the "mud," just spinning your wheels with the same patterns of thinking? Or maybe you're approaching a detour or having difficulty navigating all the potholes along the same road?

My approach to therapy centers connection, empathy, and healing. From a humanistic-existential perspective, I view therapy as a partnership where clients are supported to embrace their inner strengths, achieve desired goals, and develop coping skills and strategies to lead meaningful, authentic lives.

Therapy can create greater meaning in your life, illuminate and transform unhealthy patterns, and nourish a sense of connection to those around you. Whether you seek help with specific concerns---like childhood traumas, current traumas, anxiety, depression, or relationship crisis---maybe, you simply want to better understand yourself, I am here to help. I create a safe and supportive space to help your process your emotion, identify strengths and weaknesses, and barriers to reaching your ultimate goal of self healing.

I am a licensed psychologist and sexologist in the state of Pennsylvania. I strongly believe that every single person can benefit from some type of therapy, to better understand themselves, their past, their relationships, and their future goals. The therapeutic space is a unique one not found many other places, where you can shut out daily distractions to focus on what you need to make your life more fulfilling and rewarding. This is your time, and I am here to help and support you in reaching your goals.

My areas of interest include trauma recovery, sexuality, and personal identity. I work from a harm reduction lens, and believe in each individual’s right to self-determination. Therapy is collaborative. The client is the expert on their own experience and should be in control of their healing process. Because of this belief, I approach therapy from a place of respect and humility. It is important to me not to pathologize clients. Rather, I work with each client to unpack how the past is present in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

In my practice, I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult life changes with greater peace, clarity, and confidence. I take a highly individualized, client-centered approach, exploring underlying beliefs, past experiences, and unhelpful patterns contributing to distress. Additionally, I enjoy incorporating mindfulness techniques and creative coping skills into our sessions. Through self-exploration and effective strategies, you can develop greater personal power to cope with the symptoms you’re experiencing and the stress of daily life.

Hello, I’m Colleen. Does it feel as if you are giving more energy than you have or that there are too many things and not enough time to get to all of them? Are you finding that your relationships are strained or that keeping up with friends and loved ones seems like an unsurmountable task? Do you find it difficult to provide yourself grace and empathy? I am looking to work with Young Adults and Adults to help manage anxiety, burnout, depression, and the stressors that come with living in a chaotic world.

My therapy style is informed by my desire to explore, understand, and empower my clients. I am Kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, body neutral and queer aligned. I believe therapy is political and a space where clients can be intentional about their identities. Topics that I particularly enjoy working with include gender affirming care, chronic pain, working through infidelity, aging, navigating multiple racial and cultural identities, and processing sexual trauma.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. If you're here feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or intimidated, therapy can be a huge first step to regaining a sense of control.

I’m passionate about creating space for therapy participants to find fuller versions of themselves through exploration, play, and experiential learning. I believe that liberated imagination, mindful movement, and ability to sit with paradox are transformative skills that can be used towards individual and collective healing. My therapy style is person centered and strength based, I believe that you are the expert on you. I cultivate a warm and friendly space to connect and build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Whether you're dealing with a big change in your life or have been feeling weighed down for a long time, I'm here to help you through it.

Through empathetic listening and evidence-based practices, I help clients uncover their authentic selves and lead fulfilling lives that are in alignment with their values.

The truth will set you free"... I became a therapist because I believe that through relationship, listening, and talking, a tremendous amount of healing can take place in a person's life. I believe in people and the potential for change and growth in their lives. I see therapy as a partnership in facilitating that change. I help people to free themselves from various things that hold them down, guilt, anger, shame, addictions, anxiety... I attempt to help people establish a more solid foundation of self worth, balance, love and flexibility to be able to negotiate the world, their relationships and themselves more successfully.

If you are looking for a new therapy experience that accepts who you are without judgment, I would be honored to work with you. I understand it is impossible to force people into boxes and label their life with stereotypical behaviors. We are all unique with our own combination of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I strive to be a good listener and let you be in charge of our time together–you are the expert on your life. I will be your guide to help you uncover the driving forces in your life and explore whatever has caused or is causing you trauma.

Our clients are sensitive, thoughtful adults who have experienced childhood abuse, neglect, and overall family dysfunction and have found ways to appear like they "have it all together" on the outside, but internally are suffering with painful memories, feelings of deep shame, and an overall sense of unworthiness. In our work with adults who have been raised by emotionally immature parents, we help clients re-discover, or perhaps discover for the first time, a true sense of self and identity. Many of our clients are parents who are committed to breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma for the good of their children.

Therapy is a unique and personal experience. Whether this is your first time considering therapy, or you are moving into a new phase of your therapeutic journey, therapy is a safe space for self-exploration, growth, and discovery. I work psychodynamically and relationally, within a multicultural framework. I have worked extensively with young adults, adults, and couples in a wide range of settings. My areas of specialty are anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns; grief, loss, and bereavement; life transitions; relationships and family issues; and disordered eating and body image concerns.
