You’re considering weight loss surgery and need mental health clearance.
Do you dread the blaring of the early morning alarm? You hit snooze one too many times and now scramble to get your day started on time, chugging caffeine, just trying to get through the day. You spend evenings checked out on the couch, mindlessly scrolling your phone, with the tv blaring away in the background. There's more to life...right?! You know you can get decent sleep, not survive on caffeine, and actually enjoy your evenings. Sometimes we need a little support to get there. It’s okay to need help getting back to living a life you don’t want to escape.

Hello. I am Stephen Boren, PsyD, a licensed psychologist in PA. I help clients to understand themselves better, i.e. when did your difficulties start; what prompted the issues you know struggle with. I am a very compassionate and down-to-earth therapist. I believe a comfortable relationship with your therapist is a major aspect of what makes for good outcomes. While my underlying theoretical approach is psychodynamic, I do not cling to any theory while doing therapy. In the first session, I ask clients what they would like to get out of therapy and make suggestions as well for areas of focus. With my client, I monitor progress.

This work is meaningful to me because I get to walk alongside people breaking free of painful patterns and moving towards feeling comfortable with life and themselves.

I utilize mindfulness-based approaches to help clients cultivate mind-body awareness and create emotional well-being. Getting to underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives.

Anxiety, depression, stress, postpartum concerns, grief, substance use issues… I’m here for it all & all the less talked about in-betweens.
On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all figured out and everyone wonders how you manage to do it all. On the inside, you feel like a jumbled mess and have no idea how you’re going to keep it all going for much longer. You’re so used to taking care of everyone else and putting yourself last, if you’re even on your own list at all. I bet you’re having trouble sleeping and difficulty remembering what you even ate yesterday (did you even eat yesterday?).

Life presents all of us with situations in which we’d benefit from a little support or a new perspective. Sometimes, these take the form of serious events – such as bereavement or a traumatic incident. More often, they are “everyday” challenges like relationship struggles, child or parenting issues, or work frustrations; or maybe it’s difficult even to determine the reasons behind long-standing feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, or poor self-esteem. Whatever the circumstance, seeking an objective, professional, and confidential sounding board can help clarify thoughts or patterns and make goal achievement far more likely.

Grief Therapists

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
