Suicidal Ideation Therapists in West Chester, PA

I am committed to helping you meet your goals by tailoring my therapeutic approach to fit the unique needs of each child, adolescent, couple or family. By providing a warm and empathetic environment, I will collaborate with you to identify what may be holding you back from the freedom to live a more enriching life. My mission is to help you rediscover a sense of hope and encourage you to move forward with the feeling of empowerment and a renewed ability to cope with life's challenges. If desired, I enjoy integrating Christianity into our discussions.

I am open to working with clients from all walks of life, those who know what their goals are, and those who are uncertain about what they expect from therapy. My professional and lived experience helps me relate to clients who have difficulties adjusting to changes in life, as well as older adults, caregivers, and people of all ages struggling with family issues. A psychodynamic approach helps clients feel listened to and encouraged to develop their story, gain insight and self-awareness, & notice the connection between past events and current difficulties.

My ideal client would be someone ready to gain awareness and insight into their true self. This client may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. This client is ready to explore, challenge, and experiment with healthy changes mentally and physically to create a life they find peaceful, sustainable, and fulfilling.

Accepting new clients! - Hi, I'm Mak! I have a special interest in adults (18+) who have been negatively impacted by the systems and environments that surround them. I believe that our early life experiences, especially those learned during childhood, often shape our patterns and behaviors more than we realize. This can look like anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, attachment issues, difficulties within relationships, etc. By recognizing and understanding our recurring themes, we can improve our relationships with ourselves and those close to us.

Do you need support in stress management, life transitions, trauma, depression/anxiety, developing effective coping strategies, etc? Do you want to feel more "free" emotionally, mentally, & physically, wanting to improve your life for yourself and possible future relationships/children/family? My ideal client is motivated to engage in treatment and reach their goals of becoming more psychologically flexible and strengthening their connections with themselves and those meaningful relationships around them.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

Are you dealing with overwhelming anxiety? Is daily stress accumulating and impacting your wellbeing? Tired of a loud inner critic? If so, contact me for a free consult & we'll get started on your healing together. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind&body. Therapy helps us understand our life events, family dynamics and personal identity. It focuses on what is in our control and how to take the steps towards self-acceptance. Through integrative techniques, we identify the root of your symptoms&skills to thrive. I work with ages 13 + as a holistic ally to help you heal.

Feeling stuck? Let me help. I believe therapy should empower individuals towards developing a healthier relationship with self and others. My general goal when working with clients is to increase authenticity, competence, and open mindedness.

I am a white, queer, disabled, non-binary femme. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings, including inpatient mental health facilities, outpatient community mental health services, women's shelters, and university settings. These experiences have led me to pursue a liberation-based, anti-carceral, and non-pathologizing approach to mental health support. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of expressions of distress including: depression, anxiety, stress, struggles with intimacy and boundaries, self-esteem issues, eating disorders, complicated and disenfranchised grief, and trauma-related stress.

Does life feel like a struggle? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and not like yourself. Everything is annoying. Your fuse is running a bit short. You don't even want to interact with other people because it's too much: too much energy, too much trying, too much struggle. You don't feel like anyone can understand you. Past memories continue to impact you and you don't know what else to do. Life feels like such a struggle. You want to be involved in life and happy. You want to laugh, smile, and enjoy life.

Something doesn't feel quite right anymore. Or maybe it never has. You've been feeling anxious, depressed, or had trouble expressing yourself. Maybe you've found yourself having big reactions that don't match the size of the situation. Or maybe you're just not sure what's next in life.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating women with perinatal disorders, infertility and relationship issues. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence.
