Self Esteem Therapists in New Britain, PA

Everyone struggles but the pressure to have it all together can be debilitating. I help those with anxiety, self esteem concerns, depression, ADHD, parent-child relational difficulties, emotional regulation issues, drug and alcohol concerns, caregiver burnout, behavioral issues, life transitions, and grief. I also support moms during pregnancy and postpartum. I utilize the personal experience I have with guardianship and caregiving to guide my professional practice while working with those who are in need of care and their families. I am dedicated to improving the lives of my clients through the collaborative process of therapy.

Hi there, I'm Angelina. I'm a licensed psychotherapist here to travel along the journey of self-growth and self-actualization with you. We have all done the best with the tools we have been given. My purpose is to highlight the skills and strengths that have helped you survive up until this point and build off those. By helping you turn towards the discomfort and pain with compassion you will find enrichment in your life and maximize your ability to thrive.

Beginning therapy and finding the right therapist for you can be challenging, but the right fit can bring about incredible change. Do you feel overwhelmed with the transition to parenthood or uncertain about your identity after building a family? Have you and your partner seen an increase in conflict or disconnection? Have you noticed persistent anxious thoughts or low mood, making it hard to enjoy this phase of your life? Do you find yourself being incredibly self-critical or at war with your own body and mind? Needing a place to share your thoughts without judgment? If any of these sound familiar, I may be the right fit for you.

With over 25 years of clinical experience, I provide individual, couples and family therapy with great compassion for helping others find their way through life's challenges. Strongly convicted to the belief that all people possess the strength and ability to achieve their personal goals and greater success in their personal lives, I foster growth through listening, humor and warmth, ensuring that my clients feel heard and understood. By guiding my clients towards greater self-awareness and a better understanding of their personal desires, I then work to help my clients develop a path to achieve their goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. Prior to opening my practice, I held the position of Director of Mental Health Services at the Bucks County Correctional Facility. During that time, I became an expert in treating mentally illness, which involved the complex forensic component. Most notably, I am known for competent and successful treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, PTSD and Bipolar Disorder. I also provided treatment to military veterans, who were in combat during the most recent war.

My emphasis in therapy is to support people with their unique goals. Through a healing centered engagement with ourselves and the world, restoration can take place. After I received my masters in art therapy/counseling I began working with adults and adolescents in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings.

I enjoy working with clients to improve their lives and relationships. I use a solution-focused counseling process to support individuals on their path to feeling better and more connected to the people that matter most to them. I have a client lead approach to helping people resolve relationship conflicts. We will work together to improve your life and feeling of connectedness to the people you love. This includes, family, friends, neighbors and the community at large. I would like to help you learn and incorporate new skills that will continue to serve you long after our sessions are over.

You are strong. You are unique. We can, and will, do this together. I pride myself on making the uncomfortable, comfortable. The Practice setting offers a safe, warm and learning environment. We can meet in the office, the park, or outside in nature on a walk. Our time together will be focused on personal growth and a deeper understanding of the actions that will allow for peace, balance and a positive human experience.

Life can often feel very overwhelming and confusing. You might feel stuck in anxiety, depression, or unwanted behavior. Perhaps your most important relationships are a source of pain and disappointment in your life instead of providing comfort, peace, and enjoyment. Or maybe you feel lonely and struggle to like yourself if your being honest. No one is immune from experiencing hardships, but we often struggle to respond to these difficulties in a healthy way. Our solutions and knee jerk reactions often cause more problems and heartache than they solve: whether that's sex addiction, losing your temper, or disengaging and avoiding.

“The path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.” Let me guide you on your journey in connecting with your deepest self. My specialties include: trauma/C-PTSD, relationship issues, anxiety, ecological despair, LGBTQIA+, gender identity, and more. As a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I am deeply passionate about working with clients who are a part of the community. Many of my clients have tried therapy before and are ready to dive deeper with me by using holistic approaches that are trauma informed and somatic.
