Relationship Issues Therapists in Avis, PA

At Before & After Counseling LLC I am interested in working with people who want to change or who desire support in the struggles they are encountering. I work with adolescents to older adults offering a supportive, caring, comfortable, and safe environment where a therapeutic relationship is the first step in your journey to your ultimate goal.

Struggling with your self esteem? Feeling like you are never good enough? Focusing on what others need and want than what you need and want? Experiencing anxiety and overthinking? Feeling body tension? Having a hard time saying no? Being highly critical of yourself and having a need to be perfect? Finding that relationships are very hard and never turn out the way you want them to? All of these things have a root cause and point to our unfinished business. I can help you see and understand the root cause and see your self from a different place. Direct Inquires Only No Third Parties Please.

I also specialize in managing Bipolar Disorder, OCD/OCD-spectrum disorders, PTSD, & Social Anxiety. By enhancing your strengths, reworking coping mechanisms, and reframing beliefs about yourself, you can find peace and joy.
