Therapists in Swarthmore, PA

The primary focus of my work is with adults, adolescents, and their families as they work to navigate difficult stages in their lives. Much of my professional work is with adolescents and their families. In my work with teens, I employ a mix of humor, authenticity, and curiosity about their struggles. From a stance of openness and compassion, I work to help teens explore their individual difficulties, confront potentially self sabotaging patterns, and develop coping strategies that are unique to their needs. I have helped many teens move beyond their pain and find healthier, freer, more fulfilling lives.

Seeking help is a daunting task and finding the right person to assist you on your journey is equally difficult. At Radnor Therapy, I guide clients and/or families toward emotional efficacy. I assist clientele in coping with emotional stress, mental health, or addiction issues, through coaching and therapy. I have over 30 years of experience working with clients and families dealing with mental health and substance abuse/addiction. If I can't help, I'll connect you with someone who can. Having founded Adolescent Advocates in 2005 and sold in 2023, I have faced extreme adversity with great success and connected with many colleagues.

A common statement I often hear goes something like this, "I've been working to make changes, but nothing changes". This approach of "working on ourselves by ourselves" is often less than successful, think about it! My personal and professional experience has taught me the value of developing relationships that are open, honest, and objective in nature. We will work to develop that relationship, in the process identifying your hopes and visions. Goals will be developed along with objectives making them feasible. Those changes you desired can and will be realized.

This world is full of uncertainty, doubt, pain, joys, triumphs, misery, chaos, peaks and valleys, and all of those moments in between. There are times when everything in your life may appear to be going smoothly and things go off without a hitch. There are other times during which no matter how hard you try, you find yourself in a whirlwind of chaos and turmoil, walking down a dark and lonely path with nobody in sight to throw you a lifeline. There are times in your life when you may feel misunderstood by family and friends, and you need someone to really listen, empathize, and validate your experience.

Dealing with grief and loss? Difficult experiences that need to be discussed to gain insight and freedom? Or maybe you are engaged in a recovery journey and would like to take the next steps of personal growth. As a pre-licensed therapist, I have access to the latest integrative techniques and care for addiction, trauma, and many other presenting concerns.

Sometimes it feels like the world just isn't made for us and no matter what we try, we can't seem to find a way around those things that prevent us from getting our needs met. I meet people where they are and attempt to take an outside perspective in helping them meet their goals as we define together. I also try to fully understand a person as it includes where they came from, decisions made through life, and influences outside of their control. I want to help you build the life you want with your own strength.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults and families in psychotherapy, consultations and evaluations. (A) Treatments for substance and behavioral addiction have been a special area of interest and expertise, and I work closely with individuals who have concerns about their substance use, gambling or internet/gaming overuse. (B) I specialize in working with couples and families who experience relational difficulties and disruptive family functioning, between parents or in parent-child relations. (C) As a Korean-American clinician, I conduct evaluations and therapy with Asian-American young adults and their families.

My goal is to allow client to openly address their levels of fear, depression and issues relating to their disorder. Many factors from past encounters result in high levels of depression and mental health conditions. My goal is to allow my client to address these fears and use my services as a three stage process to function independently with the least amount of medication and therapeutic interventions as possible. My overall goal is to address condition using alternative therapeutic problem solving interventions, while at the same time helping them to make changes based on their current condition. Phone session is free!!!

I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence or relationship challenges, chronic pain/illness, and substance use issues. I also appreciate the beautiful tangents, metaphors, and insights from my work with neurodiverse clients. Much of my work focused on helping clients examine how trauma has shaped their lives, decisions, & current circumstances and find ways to heal. Finding meaning and insight from the connections and patterns we can see in the past and present is key to informing the work we can do together to pursue a more intentional and satisfying future.
