Therapists in Ardmore, PA

Are you dealing with mental health issues and ready to seek treatment? I'm here to help. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in treating adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma (PTSD), and OCD. I will help you create attainable goals to improve your daily life by utilizing evidence-based psychotherapy.

Hello! I'm Marlee, a dedicated and empathetic counseling intern passionate about supporting individuals who are working through their healing journeys and personal growth. As a counseling graduate student, I bring fresh perspectives and a commitment to creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I specialize in therapy for children, pre-school through adolescence, and their families. I also work with a broad spectrum of adults and couples. I combine therapeutic play, mind-body and brain-based therapies, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help children better understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. My work with adults is solution focused to help you better understand and resolve life challenges. Combining talk therapy with Cognitive Behavioral therapies, we work together to help you process deep emotions and negative thoughts that can interfere with daily life.

Discussing our concerns in therapy can be daunting, so my goal is to create a space where clients can be comfortable enough to engage with uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In my career I have worked at University Counseling Centers including NYU, Drexel, and SJU, and also with Veterans at the Brooklyn VA. Through these experiences I have worked with individuals from varied backgrounds who have come to work on a range of issues ranging from managing the difficulties of growing independence to the significant impacts of past traumatic experiences.

I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.

Overwhelming feelings, difficult life transitions, and relationship challenges are normal; but they can take a major toll on the quality of your life and your sense of well-being. In my decade of clinical experience, I've seen therapy provide relief, clarity, and empowerment. I’m here to help you identify long-standing patterns of thinking, behaving, and feeling that may be keeping you stuck. Through increased insight and awareness it becomes possible to challenge the narratives and behaviors that are no longer serving you and find alternate ways of relating to yourself and others.

Accepting new clients! My approach to therapy creates individualized plans, tailored to meet each of my unique clients’ needs. There are many different paths for growth, we will work together to find the one that is right for you. We will explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors in a new way. We discover ways to remove barriers that keep you stuck. Together, we will learn how to respond instead of react. We will rediscover your calm, confident, compassionate, curious self. We will challenge your resistant self that has been keeping you from growing. You will get to know your greatest asset - YOU.

With all clients, my goal is to help facilitate a dialogue that will assist individuals in building confidence to engage in meaningful relationships, increase problem solving skills and overall self-worth. Working with the client to achieve these goals, I provide an empathic, holistic, and safe space where clients become empowered to work towards a better understanding of themselves, building on the strengths they already possess.

Life throws a lot our way, right? Work dilemmas, family stuff, that nagging feeling you haven't quite figured it all out. Maybe life feels overwhelming right now. Whatever is on your mind, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go it alone. This won’t feel overwhelming clinical, and it won’t be a vent session either (unless you want it to be). Our time together will help bring clarity and perspective to equip you with the skills and strategies you need to flourish. We are not just going to talk. We'll work together to find solutions and build the concrete skills you need to thrive.

Anxiety is a pain. Struggling with self-doubt and constant worry can be overwhelming. My clients feel like they’re never quite 'good enough.' They compare themselves to others and constantly criticize themselves. These habits feel helpful in the moment, but leave them feeling stressed, tired, and overwhelmed. They might even feel like they can't shake their past mistakes or traumas. So much so, that they don't get the opportunity to fully enjoy the lives they've built for themselves or their relationships. My clients want to slow down and rest but are afraid that if they do, they'll fail.

Anxiety and depression often prevent us from living the life we desire. However, with the help of a trained therapist, that can change. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who utilizes various therapeutic techniques to provide comprehensive care. My experience and expertise is in the treatment of Anxiety and Depressive disorders, with a special interest in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I am trained in various interventions, including Exposure/Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and the ComB method for trichotillomania.

I'm a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience providing assessment and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., hair-pulling, skin-picking), tic disorders, and related concerns among youth, as well as supporting parents through parenting challenges and stress. I am based in the greater Philadelphia region and currently provide telehealth services to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware residents.

One of the most powerful experiences that a person can have is sitting across from another human being and feeling understood. I approach therapy with a multicultural lens, cognizant of the fact that every person is an individual that has been shaped by their own cultural backdrop (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spiritual path, etc.). I emphasize the role of the client as the expert on their world; and therapy as a collaboration. Through this collaboration and my understanding of the client as an individual within larger intersecting systems (e.g., family, school), I strive to effect positive therapeutic outcomes.

I wholeheartedly believe and trust that each person is uniquely resilient and has the capacity to heal from trauma. As a therapist, my passion lies in helping people regain safety and security in their mind and body after experiencing trauma. In treatment, I will support you in rebuilding authentic relationships to yourself, others, and the world around you. Much of my experience entails working with physical and sexual trauma, grief, racial trauma, and relationship challenges. In my practice, I primarily work with female-identifying people of color.

Dr. Fussner is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with children with a variety of health challenges and medical conditions such as toileting difficulties (e.g., constipation, frequent accidents), feeding concerns (e.g., selective eating, food allergies), and chronic/persistent pain (e.g., abdominal pain, migraines). Dr. Fussner utilizes a warm and supportive approach to intervention and works collaboratively with families to develop targeted treatment plans promoting improved coping and enhanced quality of life.

If you struggle with communication or shame, if you’d like to be more in touch with your inner voice or build better relationships, I encourage you to get in touch. As a therapist, especially as a couples and sex therapist, I believe that everyone can benefit from having a space to be honest and to feel safe in expressing their truth. As a warm and attentive listener, I am adept at crafting a calming and nonjudgmental space for us to engage in a collaborative process of recognizing and understanding life events as well as unhelpful patterns and beliefs.

Welcome fellow warriors! As a therapist, a unique factor of supporting individuals, couples, and families is their lived experience. Each story is different from the next though all share the same characteristic, resilience. Through each journey, the hardships brought unbearable pain, though underneath, the foundation of resilience is building, preparing each for managing the next difficulty in life. Resilient. Your journey through life gives you this gift, and with my commitment to upholding an authentic, honest relationship, I will travel the road with you to find your resiliency.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker currently serving adults, children, adolescents and families in Pennsylvania. I have more than 10 years of experience providing therapeutic services to individuals and families across the lifespan. While I consider a person-centered approach to be central to my practice, one of my specializations is in that of cognitive behavioral therapy. I have deep experience working with adults, adolescents and children with mood and anxiety challenges utilizing cognitive behavioral techniques, in addition to supporting those who have experienced trauma or other adverse life events.

While I counsel clients on all mental health related issues, my expertise lies in recovery from addiction/alcoholism, and coping with anxiety, stress & depression. If your goal is to stop drinking/using drugs, to cope with or support a loved one who suffers from addiction/alcoholism, or to cope with anxiety, stress and depression, I can absolutely help you. I know how difficult these issues are, and how important it is to find the right therapist to help you navigate them. I have lived with and overcome issues with addiction, anxiety, and depression. You want someone who personally understands what it's like, and I definitely do.
