I am interested in a transformative process that focuses on what interests you. I operate based on a wellness model; seeing clients as human beings who walk in seeking help, as opposed to a diagnosis needing fixing. This is all simply a human journey and we can all use a little guidance from time to time.

Do you wonder if you will be with your significant other by this time next year? Are you and your partner having trouble communicating? Do you feel like your words aren't being heard or that you're constantly being misunderstood? It can be frustrating when you find yourselves in a never-ending cycle of arguments, always fighting about the same things. These issues can put a lot of strain on your relationship and make you feel like giving up. Don't worry there is hope! We specialize in communication, and we're here to help. Our therapy sessions provide a safe space, where both of you can feel comfortable opening up without judgment.

Life at times can be overwhelming and stressful. During these times it can be helpful to have someone to talk to. As a licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to be able to provide a safe place to explore your feelings, and help you develop and strengthen your coping strategies. Whether you have been dealing with challenges surrounding a new or chronic medical issue, feeling sad or anxious, stress related to a new responsibility or life change or coping with issues surrounding aging I can assist.

Do you feel lonely even though you are in a committed relationship? Does it seem like you and your partner speak different languages and live different realities? Do you have the same fights over and over again and nothing ever gets resolved? These feelings can be overwhelming and scary. I want to help you begin to change your relationship so it can be a source of nurturing and support instead of a cause of stress and anxiety. I work with individuals and couples using a flexible, collaborative and strengths-based approach to help my clients build connection, resolve conflicts, develop trust, and find happiness in their lives.

My clients are individuals and couples who struggle with difficulties that range from problems of daily living to chronic mental health issues including anxiety and depression. In psychotherapy, my goal is to help you overcome challenges, reconnect with your loved ones, and grow to your fullest potential. I offer both in-person and telehealth visits through my patient portal. To learn more, visit www.corinnedatchiphd.com.

Is stress overflowing into all aspects of your life, affecting the quality of your relationships? Are feelings of anxiety and depression keeping you stuck at your job or in your marriage? Are you constantly angry at your partner for not listening or understanding you? Perhaps you are always angry at your children for not listening to you? I can help you! I will listen, ask questions and together we will develop strategies to deal with depression, anxiety, grief/separation and other life issues. I am a committed active member of your path towards symptom relief and deeper self-awareness.

The best psychotherapy builds upon a solid relationship between a client and therapist, allowing the client to take risks in examining themselves, acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses, process painful memories and use their strengths to create change. In my therapeutic work I focus on nurturing that relationship to facilitate my client's change and self-acceptance. I am well trained in psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy and family/couples therapy as well as cognitive-behavioral and short term therapy techniques and use what my clients and I believe will best facilitate their goals in treatment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant. I specialize in working with youth, high school, collegiate, and professional athletes by providing mental strategies to help them reach optimal performance in their sport. In addition to enhancing athlete performance, I address mental health issues and develop individualized treatment plans to fit each client’s needs. Along with owning my private practice, Martino Mindset LLC, I am an active member of the Newtown Sport Psychology Team where I service competitive athletes in the Pennsylvania area.

I am passionate about supporting motivated individuals, particularly those dealing with stress, life transitions, and grief. With specialized training in grief and loss, I incorporate a blend of acceptance therapy & person centered therapy. Whether you have clear objectives or just an idea of the emotional state you wish to achieve by the end of our sessions, I am here to help. My aim is not to keep you in therapy forever but to assist you in overcoming your challenges so you can lead a fulfilling life. I'm not the kind of therapist who merely listens and nods. Instead, I believe in a collaborative process where we work together.

Therapy can be a very rewarding and empowering experience, particularly when it is achieved in collaboration with a trusting, nonjudgmental, nurturing therapist.

I appreciate the uniqueness of every individual and situation and can adapt my approach to what will be most effective in treating the underlying issue causing distress. I am passionate and enthusiastic about helping clients to move out of what isn't working for them and empower them to reach their goals. I love watching clients learn skills to help them move out of depression and anxiety to higher levels of functioning. I especially enjoy working with couples in distress and help them get to a place where their relationship is a source of comfort rather than stress.

Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid. Being seen and heard (and not just shouting into the void) simply as we are and where we are in life plays significantly into creating the confidence to face challenges, and then continuing to thrive. You are deserving of finding balance, harmony, and evolving into your most genuine self.

You’re overwhelmed. Despite all you do, you feel unsupported and unfulfilled. You’re overburdened and under-appreciated by your partner. You know you were put on this planet for more than endless laundry folding. Where did you go wrong? You were filled with such hope and abilities a few years ago. Even an invitation to go out with your girlfriends feels like a chore. It’s hard to be present with your family while it feels like your life is slipping away. Your self-help books lie in a heap on your nightstand. Your friends seem to have it all together – Why are you so stuck?

Therapy is an opportunity to alleviate emotional pain and also a safe space to reflect and grow. When seeking therapy, many people might be unsure of what they want and afraid of the uncertainty. My hope is to help you walk through a healthy perspective to replenish a meaningful and rewarding life where you could see yourself more completely and inspire yourself to be the calm within the storm. With a compassionate, non-judgmental, and psychologically mindful space, I hope you will feel deeply understood and optimistic.

You’ve been together for so long, yet lately it feels like you're drifting apart. The once familiar warmth and comfort have been replaced by an unsettling feeling of being strangers in your own home. Conversations that used to flow effortlessly now feel strained. The vibrant and passionate connection has faded, leaving you feeling disconnected and alone. Have you fallen into a monotonous routine, a cycle of rejection and emotional distance, and your communication has suffered? Do you want to feel that love and closeness you once had, and repair what you've lost to build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship together?
