Therapists in Secane, PA

Are you a teen, young adult, or working professional seeking practical solutions to life's challenges? Look no further. I'm James, a clinical therapist specializing in CBT with a holistic twist. In search of a compassionate guide who truly understands the complexities of modern life? Juggling the pressures of life, or relationships, or do you just want to become the best you? Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, addressing immediate concerns while delving deeper into the underlying root of your struggles. Together we will explore, heal, and thrive!

I help clients build rich, meaningful lives that are physically and psychologically more healthful. I specialize in weight management, eating behavior, and health behavior change (including sleep). I regularly treat concerns related to weight, body image, and eating (including binge eating and emotional or mindless eating). I can support patients pre- and post- bariatric surgery and those using weight loss medications. I also deliver short-term behavioral treatments for sleep problems such as insomnia. In addition, I treat depression, anxiety, and difficulties adjusting to life transitions and medical conditions.

I will work with you to capitalize on your strengths and help you identify and move beyond unhelpful mental and behavioral patterns lurking in your blind spots. Rather than talk endlessly about your problems, we will instead use various empirically supported techniques to step back from your problems and explore new behavioral and belief options that better correspond to your key goals and values. Then you'll practice these new perspectives and strategies at home in your real life until they feel more natural. **Please phone me first as I do not always have daily email access.

Overwhelmed with anxiety? Frustrated with negative thinking or persistent depression? Maybe you are stuck with sleeping or eating habits that don’t seem to change despite your best attempts. Effective therapy should help you understand exactly why these symptoms exist (likely a very valid reason!) and help you identify a different course of action that is in alignment with the way you want to live. My goal for treatment is to meaningfully reduce the impact of symptoms rather than just learn better ways to “cope” with distress. Although results-oriented, I value being compassionate, encouraging, genuine and non-judgmental.

Let's talk about taking the first step on your path to wellness and healing. Therapy does not have to be a scary or intimidating place. I offer a non-judgmental approach to therapy and focus on building a strong relationship with my clients. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them make a connection between the way their personal history, thoughts and emotions impact the way they live and interact with the world around them. My training is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I help my clients develop a number of tools and skills that help them achieve their goals.

Are you a high achiever and perfectionist, experiencing job burnout? Have you noticed creative blocks at work? Do you find your sleep is interrupted by negative thoughts? Do you find it difficult to navigate your romantic relationship, friendships and/or dating life? Emotional overwhelm oftentimes leads to strain on the mind, body, spirit. While being mindful of one’s values and beliefs, I utilize a technique that integrates evidence based treatment, science, mindful awareness, and meditation, in order to assist you in fostering and cultivating a more fulfilled, connected, authentic, and adventurous life in the present moment.

Do you find yourself lying awake at night with a racing mind? Are you exhausted all day, yet, not matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to sleep at night? Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are fatigue and brain fog making it hard to be present and ‘in the moment’? Perhaps you’re concerned about the health impact of sleep medications or realizing that medications and supplements simply aren’t working like you had hoped. You've explored many solutions and are eager to find one that truly works.

I enjoy helping others overcome sleep disturbance, bothersome anxiety, adjusting to the challenges of parenthood and improving communication skills. I mostly focus on your present situation and apply various solution-focused modalities to help reach your therapeutic goals.

I am a clinical psychologist trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy. As our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all influence our perspective, I collaborate with clients and provide tools and strategies to empower individuals to shift their mindset and improve their lives. I have a special interest in depression and anxiety disorders, nutrition, disordered eating, sleep, and behavioral health management. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients feel validated and to offer evidence-based therapies to promote healing and growth.

At nPSYGHT, we emphasize the use of psychotherapy, while supplementing it with medication as needed and at minimum effective doses. We incorporate neuropsychotherapeutic concepts whenever possible, meaning we recognize that advances in our understanding of how the brain works can inform how psychotherapy can be conducted. We stress the importance of general good health habits - diet, exercise, sleep, relaxation methods (meditation, yoga, tai chi) - in promoting mental and behavioral well-being.

You are overwhelmed, burned out and exhausted from trying too many different things. I don't like to waste time in helping people get to the heart of the matter to heal and move forward. I am trained in Flash and relaxation and somatic approaches. I am also certified in clinical hypnosis to treat weight loss, smoking, sleep, confidence, and pain management. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field. You know quickly when you vibe with someone and let's see if we click! I believe in the mind/body/spirit connection and I individualize my approach with each unique person. Let's talk soon to see :)

We move through institutions of power our entire lives. First, family, then we form friends at school, fall in love in college, maybe grow close to others in religious communities. Along the way, we encounter experiences that enable us to become more of our authentic selves. Sometimes, these experiences are less than ideal, other times, these experiences are more traumatizing than we originally thought. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, are a few things that manifest and these are the PTSD-related symptoms that I specialize in.

Are you emotionally or physically hurting? Do racing thoughts or intrusive thoughts prevent you from being present in your life? I have 22 years of experience helping clients improve their anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, addiction (chemical, gambling, video game addiction) and more. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I use a skills-based approach to help you manage your racing thoughts, regulate difficult emotions, and overcome your trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who enjoys helping clients regain a sense of hope, direction, and personal power in the face of complex and difficult problems. I strive to develop a truly collaborative partnership with my clients to build the sense of safety and trust needed to discuss uncomfortable topics and take risks. Therapy with me often involves re-examining old ways of thinking that might be fostering negative emotions and patterns of behavior; identifying and confronting fears; and practicing new ways of solving problems in order to live a fuller, more satisfying life.

I primarily work with individuals struggling to manage their anxiety. My clients come to me seeking relief from intrusive and racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, sleep disruptions, and relationship & life difficulties. I help clients identify connections between past traumas and current behaviors and beliefs, and provide strategies and insight to highlight the path to change. You are courageous and resilient, and I am honored to be a part of your healing journey.

I welcome inquiries from individuals and couples seeking to improve their emotion regulation, communication skills, relationships; process difficult emotions and memories; increase their coping, time and stress management skills; and bolster their sleep hygiene and health. I am particularly open to working with people who feel stifled by the current political climate, those who fear being (or have been) silenced or "cancelled," as well as persons of faith. I am licensed to practice in the states of Maine, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
