Strength-Based Therapists in Springfield, PA

Therapy is an incredible place to get to know yourself and grow through some of life’s most challenging experiences and events. I wish to offer a safe space to explore, learn and address your concerns and worries. I have experience helping both teens and adults of various backgrounds, and orientations including the LGBTQIA+ community. I wish to empower clients to accomplish their goals, live in their truth, and make the changes they deem necessary for themselves.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating challenging transitions, seeking balance, managing relationship conflicts, and enhancing social skills in demanding environments like school and work. With over 13 years of experience in child, adolescent, and family therapy, I also offer clinical and licensure supervision. My warm and collaborative style fosters an environment of unconditional positive regard and safety, encouraging open expression of thoughts and feelings.

As a pre-licensed professional, I currently have a lot of experience working with adolescence. Ideally, I would like to expand on my knowledge by specifically helping teens or adults that might have symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, Anger, etc. Individuals like these might or could be in a situation that requires someone like me to build rapport, gain trust, provide alternatives solutions to the issue at hand, and healthy feedback.

Mental health, addiction, and chronic illness all have something in common. They can be debilitating and create cyclical habits that are difficult to break. I work with motivated individuals who are willing to make a change in their lives for the better, examine their past and present experiences and feelings, and work to find healthier ways to cope.

It can be overwhelming to grapple with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the countless stressors that come with everyday life. If you're yearning for relief, clarity, and empowerment, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey. My practice is founded on the principles of compassion, understanding, and respect for your unique experiences and perspectives. Together, we can explore the underlying factors contributing to your distress, develop coping strategies tailored to your needs, and work towards creating positive changes in your life.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.

Lynn Falk is a Candidate in Counseling (CIC) who is passionate about helping children, tweens, adolescents, and adults cope with strong emotions, depression, anxiety, transitions, low self-esteem, questions of identity, conflict, and relationship issues.

I earned a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling & Behavioral Medicine from Boston University School of Medicine, complementing my double major in Psychology and Sociology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I offer counseling services and mental health support to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, specializing in Sports Psychology as a designated provider for the Philadelphia Eagles and use the evidence-based Eco-Systemic Family Therapy Model to help families, couples, and individuals achieve their treatment goals.

Therapy is a process that promotes exploration and self-discovery. We all live with internal challenges that may have been caused by external stressors. Sometimes in life we need to really set aside time to slow down, take a look at ourselves and attempt to answer the question “Who are you?” Many of us define our lives by our occupation yet the answer to this question goes much deeper. Who we are as individuals can dictate how we deal with stress, how we make decisions and even how we take care of ourselves.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where you feel heard, understood, and valued. I believe that each person is unique and has their own story, and my approach is centered around respect, empathy, and collaboration. When we work together, you can expect a non-judgmental space where your feelings and experiences are honored. I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey, providing support, guidance, and practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges. My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from various evidence-based practices to tailor our sessions to your individual

I conduct individual sessions with teenagers and adults. My experience includes working with clients that deal with Anxiety, Depression, Parental issues, Stress Management, Family Conflict, and Self Esteem.

Ever have the feeling as if you are just going through the motions of your life, or waiting for the day to be over so you can go to sleep, just to wake up and do it all over again? Are you tired of the "hamster wheel" constantly spinning, wondering how on earth you are supposed to incorporate "self-care" along with everything else you are responsible for? As women, we have so many pressures and expectations placed on us that are often unrealistic. This leads to burn out and feels like we are living our lives for everyone else except ourselves.

Working with us you'll get results. Because we believe you're best served by a clinician who's passionate about not only their work, but who they work with as well. That's why we started Lifebulb - We're committed to building an organization that truly allows therapists to get back to enjoying their work, so you, our client, can receive the highest quality therapy services, whether in person at one of our locations or online through telehealth. We hire only highly trained and educated, licensed clinicians dedicated to the therapy process. We're confident we can help you achieve your therapy goals.

Are you having a hard time managing your emotions, thoughts, relationships, and responsibilities? It may be time to reach out for help. As a licensed clinical social worker and certified addictions counselor, I provide a safe space for my clients to process their experiences, improve self- awareness, and find realistic solutions. By using a comprehensive and individualized treatment approach, I can assist you in meeting your personal goals.

Whether seeking individual, couples, or family therapy, it takes courage to reach out for support. I will do my best to support you with empathy, authenticity, gentle guidance, and humor. I strive to create a calm, welcoming space to help you make the desired changes.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, past traumatic experiences, and currently feeling stuck in life? Do you need help managing these emotions to move forward in a more meaningful and productive life? Your goals would be to process these emotions and learn how your thoughts influence your feelings and, ultimately, your behavior. Additionally, you will learn coping skills to manage and/or reduce the debilitating effects of these emotions.

Are you struggling with a life transition, stressors, anxiety, or depression? Are you a college student having a difficult time adjusting to their first year in college, a young adult/adult working through career, family, relationship, or personal discovery stressors, or someone who is struggling with depression and finds they have a general lack of motivation?

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your feelings, possibly due to trauma? Do you lack understanding of the cause & need education on how the brain responds to trauma? Do you have relational issues or anger management struggles that lead to addictive behaviors? Do you struggle with self-worth issues and feel tired, frustrated, and confused? In therapy, you will learn to identify trauma responses, build tolerance for difficult or uncomfortable feelings, & utilize various coping skills & grounding techniques. Gain confidence, take risks to address complex issues & learn how to create healthy boundaries for relationships.

Are you trying to learn more about yourself and how you can best navigate your world? Are you exploring all parts of your identity and what makes you "you"? I have focused primarily on identity-related challenges, including Gender/Sexuality exploration, Race/Ethnic identity concerns, Religious/Cultural trauma, and Sex/Intimacy issues. I also have experience helping clients navigate issues related to depression, anxiety, and ADHD/Neurodivergent disorders. I'm here to be a collaborative and warm therapist who isn't going to throw a therapy book at them but instead wants someone who sees them as human beings walking through life.
