Self Esteem Therapists in Sellersville, PA

Today's world is plagued by distractions that take us away from what is fundamentally important. Learning to separate from an illogical need to please others may allow us to determine our path and help us to be true to ourselves. There is no such thing as an ideal client, only willingness to look within as a shared experience is necessary for growth.

Asking for help is one of the most challenging steps towards making meaningful changes in our lives. Often we feel that our problems are “not bad enough” or that “others have had it worse,” which prevent us from reaching out to others for support when we need it the most. This could not be further from the truth. Everyone deserves and is worthy of receiving support; we need not struggle in silence. I believe that no two individuals' experiences are the same and therefore neither are our therapeutic and healing journeys.

Stress, worry, anxiety- It sucks. Like an unwelcome guest that just won't leave. It's paralyzing. You find yourself under pressure to make the right decisions and keep it all together all the time. That voice inside your head keeps nagging, "Why can't I just be 'normal' and stop worrying? Why is everything so hard?" You may carry the mental load of the household or feel like there's no time. On the outside, things may seem perfectly fine, but inside, it's a different story. Life feels like an impossible maze with all this self-doubt, constant worry, and the weight of expectations. You know you're capable, but it feels out of reach.

As a licensed clinician, my goal is to create a supportive and safe space for individuals and their families to process their experiences. I hope to support others with exploring their individual symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma etc. that have affected their lives and the impact on their families. In therapy, my goal is to instill hope for positive growth and change. I implement a variety of therapeutic models to support development of healthy coping skills, self-confidence, non-judgmental acceptance, developing healthy support systems, and motivation for growth and healing.

Seeking out therapy can be an intimidating process. It’s common to feel like your mental health won’t improve, that you will always be “stuck” in unhelpful thinking patterns, uncomfortable body sensations, and actions that don’t align with your values. My goal is to cultivate a safe, inclusive space where we can work collaboratively to address your concerns and shift into a space of healing. Therapy is not typically a place where you can find “quick fixes,” therefore I work to establish an authentic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship with my clients to support them in finding and experiencing meaningful, long-term change.

Feeling stuck and out of balance with no way out can feel paralyzing emotionally and lead to all kinds of thoughts and reactions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, panicked, defensive, alone and anxious. This is what we at AHA! refer to as the "Discomfort Zone" and sometimes it takes reaching this place to realize, there IS a way beyond this! And if you are here, I imagine you are ready for some new skills and a fresh perspective that takes you or a child you love beyond the fight or flight mode of just surviving life.

Hi! My name is Alex (she/her). I am a licensed family and marriage therapist and work with individuals, couples, and families. I offer a safe place for you as you explore your feelings and your ways of coping. We will work together in therapy to support you in embracing yourself, your needs, and your desires. Every person has a unique story and experiences, which is why I work from a person-centered approach. I honor each individual where they are and believe that each person is the expert on themself. I will not have all of the answers, but we will work together so that you can find the answers and wisdom inside of you.
