I care about my client's well-beings and provide the tools they need, in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most challenging circumstances.

"It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried." (Carl Rogers, 1961) I view therapy as a journey that is led by clients and work toward guiding others through the therapeutic journey by providing a supportive environment. Therapy is tailored to people's styles, growth edges, and strengths. A collaborative relationship between a therapist and client is essential to working toward self-growth and wellness. I value the use of research informed techniques. I join clients on their therapeutic journey with the ultimate goal of wellness.

We can all hit a point in life where we get exhausted from outrunning something difficult to face. We may feel lost or stuck in our relationships, unsure where to turn. Sometimes we may not feel comfortable talking to anyone in our lives without judgment, guilt, or fear. I help people navigate their relationships and make sense of their experiences to better understand themselves and choose what they want from their lives. Life transitions bring out difficult emotions that we have no choice but to work through. I can help guide you through the hard parts and celebrate your successes, while you will be in the driver’s seat.

Some experiences cannot be put into words and yet their impact lasts a lifetime. Tendrils of that impact are apparent in most aspects of our lives. I specialize in working with such experiences, whether you call it traumatic, something else, or nothing at all. I have had years of experience in crisis management, interpersonal relationship building, and coping skills support, all from a culturally-informed perspective. My culture does influence my perspective and responses in life so I hold people’s cultural identity as central to their therapy.

Seeking solutions to enact change? Are you done with worksheets, breathing exercises and lack of concrete action steps? Examining problems requires help of an honest, direct, solution focused clinician with a concrete approach. Anxiety, co-dependent patterns ("people pleasing") or just trying to understand an experience to determine next steps look different when explored thru a "curious" approach. Every focused, achieving individual wants to "fix it" or do whatever it takes to feel better to live better. A solution focused approach operates on reason and concrete actions to take fostering hope.

As a recovering people pleaser myself, I know it’s scary. I know it’s uncomfortable. But so is what you’re doing now. Avoiding certain people, dreading conversation topics, feeling anxious before social events, overcommitting your time and energy, prioritizing other people’s feelings over your own, and letting everyone sip your cup dry - now thats fucking hard. How much more enjoyable, comfortable, and free would your life be in you knew your needs would be respected?

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.
