In Person Therapists in Glenshaw, PA

Hello! Congratulations on taking the first step in your healing journey. I feel like therapy is a healing and growing journey. Plants like people thrive when they are in a healthy space. What would your "space" look like if you were able to address trauma, anxiety, depression, etc.? Would you grow and thrive?

In a world full of stress and challenges, therapy can be an outlet to review and process these obstacles to gain insight towards creating positive outcomes. I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach when working with individuals to overcome life’s struggles. With support, becoming mindful and self-aware can help improve relationships, careers, school and many other areas you value. During a time of heightened stress, life can become confusing and overwhelming. I hope to help you explore any struggles or conflicts and increase opportunities for happiness and positivity.

Experiences and circumstances have a way of changing how we perceive and understand the world around us. They alter the way we act or behave, the way we think, and the way we respond to different events or challenges that may occur in life. Therapy is a way in which an individual is able to create room in their own life for reestablishment, growth, empowerment, and resolution. My goal is to facilitate a safe environment in which you are able to recover, refocus, reestablish, and grow. I hope that through this experience you can improve overall wellness and accomplish goals that will improve your lifestyle as an individual.

Dr. Victor H.W. is a specialist in Clinical Psychology and can effectively treat many challenging adult and youth presentations. My approach to treatment is influence by the scientific evidence! With children, adolescents, and adults, I draw from evidence-based treatments that have been proven to work; including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential Therapy in addition to traditional talk and play therapies. However, psychotherapy is both an art and science and what works best depends on the person and the problem that the individual or family is facing.

Among the many reasons why people seek counseling, one reason stands out as a factor....LIFETIME CHANGES. Change is a constant in our lives that many strongly resist, and have difficulty coping. Lifetime changes do not need to cause distress. Individuals can become stronger. There are tools to creating new, healthier, effective styles of living. Each person coming into counseling has their own individual needs. As clinicians, we want to partner with our clients to identify their goals and help them on their journey to a healthier, more satisfying life.

I believe therapy is the process of getting to know and like yourself better. By looking inward, we discover how we support or undermine ourselves with thoughts, feelings, habitual body patterns and behaviors born out of pain and trauma. We start to distinguish our authentic self from who we think we need to be. When we have more information about ourself and more freedom to be authentic, we can then begin to make changes to better support ourself and create a life that is fulfilling.

Everyone doesn't think or feel in the same way, we all have our own journey and our own way of experiencing life obstacles.

I like working with clients that want learn how to better handle life and its stressors. Reaching out for support can be very hard, but working together to move forward can be a very healthy choice for you, your family, work/other relationships, and your overall level of mental/emotional wellbeing.
