I enjoy working with a variety of people from all walks of life. Each person comes with their own set of strengths, accomplishments, challenges, mistakes, goals, ideas, and questions. I have worked with people who have dealt with anxiety, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, relationship issues, stress, low self esteem, families with children on the autism spectrum, college struggles, chronic mental health issues,and Asperger's syndrome among others. I see my role as counselor as someone who will listen and help the client brainstorm different ways of reacting to the world, while exploring ways to ultimately accept and become the person one strives to be.

My approach to counseling is from a humanistic perspective which places importance on looking at the whole person. By creating an atmosphere of safety and security, I assist the person in examining current difficulties, reconnecting to forgotten strengths and discovering their full potential. I believe that this is best achieved through understanding an individual's relationship to persons, places, things and events and how those relationships affect the person mentally, emotionally and physically.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in services. My name is Anja Whitehead and I’m a master's level clinician and Nationally Certified Counselor in Pennsylvania, working towards licensure under supervision. I have a background in working with individuals facing anxiety, PTSD, depression, phase of life problems, and more. I pride myself on cultivating a comfortable, warm, empathetic therapeutic environment for all clients. I work with teens, adults, and couples.

My philosophy comes from the perspective that we can all find the strength we need within ourselves, more than we believe is possible, by examining and challenging our thoughts, feelings and perspectives. By evaluating our own expectations and those we hold of others we can better understand how to attain our personal goals and overcome challenges. As a woman, mother and athlete I value the importance of maximizing my potential as a human being and finding balance in the face of the very obstacles and challenges that make me human, and I bring that attitude to my work with others.

As a young adult I sought out counseling to help me navigate my life's issues. It felt most beneficial when a therapist, by listening and understanding me, in a nonjudgmental, supportive and educational way, seemed to meet me where I was at both emotionally and mentally- giving me hope, the tools, the time and the motivation I needed to heal.These healing experiences gave me the desire to help others. Thus following their positive examples, I have approached everyone's treatment on an individual basis- knowing everyone is different emotionally and mentally, and are coming from different life experiences.

My devotion consists of working with a variety of individuals who suffer from mental health disorders. My experiences vary from anxiety, depression, addiction, and codependency disorders. My specialty focuses in grief therapy. I use cognitive behavior therapy and psychotherapy to support an individuals greater well being.

Hello! I enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals and have a wide variety of experience in the field. I have worked in the home, in residential and in outpatient agencies in the past. I enjoy assisting others in overcoming what holds them back from being the best person they want to be.
