Are you feeling frustrated in your marriage? Are you tired of having the same fight over and over again without anything changing? Do you have sexual concerns? With over a decade of clinical experience in treating couples who are struggling to connect emotionally and resolve conflicts, I understand how frustrating relationship problems can get. At the same time I also understand how difficult and even embarrassing it can be to call a counselor and admit that your relationship needs some help. But let me assure you that the discomfort of reaching out for help is well worth it.

Seeking therapy means you have to trust a new and unfamiliar person and process. My job is to create a strong therapeutic relationship that allows you to explore the circumstances and relationships that are interfering with your life in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. In my practice, I help my clients gain personal insight and individual strength to help them address issues with depression, stress and anxiety, parenting, life transitions and interpersonal relationships. I have a certificate from Bryn Mawr College in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, and I especially enjoy working with preteens, teens, and young adults.

My approach to therapy is first to fully understand your difficulties and then work with you to find the best ways to make changes that promote growth and personal fulfillment. I believe that it is crucial for you to feel that therapy is a safe space where together we can explore, examine, and be curious about your experiences and your relationships with other people. In my years of practicing, I have found that many distressing symptoms (such as anxiety and depression) often disappear when people have the opportunity to look closely at their relationships with others.

Are you feeling lonely, empty, and/or discontent? Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or addiction? Congratulations, you have already shown courage by considering help. I am a collaborative therapist and I believe that we are all seeking wholeness. As a nationally known addiction therapist, I have experience assisting individuals and their families with addiction, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach to health is holistic. I believe that therapy is most effective when individuals learn to place equal value in developing emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual health.

As a licensed psychologist with over 35 years of experience, I am committed to working with individuals and couples to address physical and mental health issues, sexual/relationship concerns, professional challenges, and life transitions.

When working with children, I incorporate play therapy, include sandplay, into my sessions in order to engage clients and create a comfortable environment for therapy.

As a therapist, my goal is to create an environment that is warm, inviting and nurturing, an environment that is safe to disclose your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and honestly. My hope is that I create a space for you to feel open and willing to explore the struggles, challenges and confusion that are impacting your life. I believe that all people have the potential to be aware of and enhance their strengths, and as a therapist, I like to help my clients facilitate that process.

Greetings, my name is Dr. Allena M. Moncrief. I obtained my PhD from Drexel University in the field of Couple and Family Therapy in 2017. I have been providing therapeutic services to clients in Pennsylvania since 2010. As a psychotherapist, I understand the decision to enter psychotherapy can be extremely challenging for some individuals. Thus, I strive to meet individuals where they are in the therapeutic process. This process involves helping individuals explore the root of their difficulties/roadblocks and assisting them with creating a roadmap that will lead to a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

Have you struggled with finding the "right fit" in a therapist? I am here to tell you that you are not alone! I have worked with many individuals that have experienced this concern before, whether it is because of past experiences or fear of the unknown in starting therapy.

Wherever my clients are at in their healing journey, I want to help them develop the tools they need to succeed in their lives.

“If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present". . .The immortal wisdom of 6th c. philosopher Lao Tzu informs my approach to life and to therapy. I seek to help my clients be open, curious, and accepting of their present experiences, to make meaning from their adversity, and to embrace their futures with a sense of agency and adventure.
