You spend so much energy taking care of others, it's hard to think about making time for yourself. Feeling stressed or sad has started to feel like your "normal" instead of just a bad day. You feel anxious or angry sometimes, and you're not sure why. Maybe life has started to feel like a chore – you’re doing everything you can and it still doesn’t feel like enough. It's harder to connect with the parts of life that used to be meaningful, and that can feel really lonely.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant chatter in your mind? The “what-ifs” and worst-case scenarios can be really draining. Let’s break that cycle of anxious thoughts and start focusing on choices that bring more joy into your life. Our daily decisions shape our lives, so let’s think about whether you’re making choices based on fear or on what truly matters to you. As an OCD specialist, I believe in building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients right from the start. We’ll work together in a collaborative and supportive way throughout the therapy process, focusing on what works best for you.

Are you looking for a safe place to resolve current problems? I have been practicing psychotherapy for over thirty years and continue to love helping people of all ages. I use mindfulness techniques, Gestalt Therapy, EMDR and psychodynamic therapy as my varied approaches to helping people. I work with whatever style best suits our work together.

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and PA Certified School Psychologist with over fifteen years experience in the identification and remediation of learning, behavioral, and emotional differences in preschool through college aged individuals. My primary areas of practice include psychoeducational assessment, school admissions testing, and consultation with parents and schools. I have taught doctoral level courses in assessment and have administration experience as the former Co-Director of Assessment Services and Coordinator of School Admissions Services at Bryn Mawr College Child Study Institute. I serve on the Board of the PA Branch of the International Dyslexia Association and on the Specialist of Schools Planning Committee.

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH (Robert Frost)... It is human to suffer and it is human to face challenges. When the suffering becomes too great, and the challenges too large, good therapy can play a key role in bringing about change. If you decide to work with me, I would consider it an honor to become part of your journey towards increased health and well-being. When you come to therapy, you will be treated with respect. I bring many years of experience as a therapist, providing both brief evidence-based interventions and long term psychodynamic approach. I will work carefully with you to define and achieve your personal goals.

I know it's difficult to select a psychologist, someone to share your most intimate problems with, just from a list of names. Many of my clients have told me how at ease they are in my presence. I've been helping people like you for 40+ years. During this time, I've developed many approaches to fit the particular needs of each client. Originally trained in psychodynamic therapy, my therapeutic approach is now eclectic including a humanistic application of cognitive behavioral therapy. I also have expertise in body psychotherapy (Bioenergetics Analysis) which is especially helpful in stress & trauma related problems.

I combine active listening with creative response as a Gestalt therapist. I do brief and long term work depending on what the client needs. I am seasoned and I care about my clients' well-being.

Feeling stuck in life? Maybe it's time to get some help. Do you find yourself getting sad or angry at confusing moments in your life? Do others find you to be "primarily angry," "often sad," or in some other way dominated by one particular feeling? Expressing and/or making sense of negative emotions is sometimes challenging. I help people examine, understand, and process their feelings so that they can be more productive and self-secure. I am also particularly skilled in helping people with life and career transition problems.

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, afraid, hopeless or stuck? I provide caring, supportive psychotherapy for adults, couples and adolescents age 16 and up. I help my clients to manage depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, mood swings, relationships, grief, trauma and anger. I teach many skills to improve coping, communication and behavior.

Additional EVENING spots now available. Accepting United Health Care, Always Health, and Health New England insurance. When struggling with your emotional health, it is hard to be happy. There are many aspects of our lives that define our emotional connectedness to others and our own happiness. When we experience anxiety, depression, anger, and/or grief, we suffer. Our suffering touches all parts of our life, both personal and professional. Sometimes, things just aren’t right. When you feel unhealthy, due to a difficult relationship or your behaviors are hurtful to yourself or others, life can be difficult.

Lucy S. Raizman, MSW, LCSW. LMFT, is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT-certified Sex Therapist for the Council for Relationships, a well-respected not-for-profit counseling organization that offers expertise in individual and couple relationship and intimacy issues and offers a sliding fee scale. I am a therapist with more than 20+ years of experience working with individuals and couples in the suburban offices of Blue Bell, Pa. Montgomery County outside Philadelphia, Pa.

The primary focus of my practice for 40 years has been helping people achieve recovery from substance use disorders. I use a collaborative, motivational approach, rather than confrontation, and work with people on setting and achieving realistic and healthy goals for their problems. I believe, (as did Bill Wilson, the founder of AA) that there are many paths to recovery; each person must work on a program that reflects their unique needs and assets. I encourage people to explore their resources, their obstacles and their values in setting goals and in working a positive program. Secondarily, I am trained in couples/marital therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist, parenting coach, author, and workshop leader, in practice for over 35 years. I am also a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Therapy works best as a collaborative relationship between therapist and client - a process that encourages personal growth, behavioral changes, and self-awareness. While offering my experience and perspective, I encourage an interactive, respectful, and engaged therapy process. I am currently offering individual, couples, and family therapy through teletherapy throughout PA and in PSYPACT authorized states.

Life is a journey filled with transitions- some clear and some challenging, while others quietly shape our paths. With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in guiding individuals, couples and families through pivotal moments. Transitions can be both unsettling and enlightening, offering us opportunities for profound personal growth. Together, we will explore these moments, uncovering the unique tools that resonate best for you to repair, rebuild, and renew your connections with yourself and others.

I view therapy as a unique, shared journey and the therapeutic relationship as essential for healing and change. I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certfied Filial therapists/trainer. I have extensive training in family/couple therapy, Gestalt therapy, mindfulness and sandtray therapies. I have worked in a wide variety of settings with adults, children, and teens (group private practice, schools, medical setting, state mental hospital, community mental health). I have been in private practice since 1991.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or have therapy experience, I welcome you to my practice. I tailor the therapy experience to meet your needs, drawing from a variety of treatment approaches. Together, we focus on building your strengths and recognizing your inherent wisdom as pathways for healing and growth. My practice is informed by mindfulness meditation, which I have studied as a practitioner and instructor. I encourage clients who are interested in this approach to develop mindfulness techniques that will help them to overcome anxiety, depression and other life challenges.
