Therapists in Allentown, PA

Seeking therapy is no easy feat, so I first want to acknowledge your strength in being here. Life is hard sometimes, and no one should be expected to do it alone. When you work with me, we are a team. I specialize in treating adolescents and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. My role is to provide a safe space for exploration and greater understanding of these difficult experiences. I also provide individualized coping skills and strategies to help with alleviation of symptoms.

Over our lifetime we experience medical, physical, psychological and relational challenges. Therapy provides emotional support during these times, so we can transform our feelings of fear and vulnerability to strength and confidence. By being aware, of how we respond and why we react to change the way we do can help us grow. All transitions in life effect our functioning within ourselves and with others. Emotional Support Therapy provides the tools needed to unify our emotional and intellectual processing, thus promoting self-growth and well-being in the face of life's changes.

If you are looking for support to work on yourself, your family or increase your relationships with others, we are here. If learning has been difficult and seems out of reach, lets talk.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Hillary Ammon. I founded the Center for Anxiety and Women’s Emotional Wellness to provide specialized, effective treatment to these populations. After years of working within hospital settings, most recently at the University of Pennsylvania, I decided to take my own advice and live a life that better aligns with my values, by striking a balance of work and family life and creating this private practice. I am passionate about working with women and clients with anxiety, both unique populations, and providing evidence-based, yet tailored-care, and a virtual space to reflect, approach, problem-solve, and change.
