Therapists in Wynnewood, PA

Now Accepting New Clients for July: Individuals, couples, and families- Therapy is a collaborative journey of discovery. It is my belief that our healing lies in the gifts we have yet to uncover. As we learned to exist in this challenging world, these gifts often became clouded or adapted to meet our survival needs. The weight of our past, the stress of our daily lives, and our fears for the future can begin to drag us down and dull our experience. Through a process that is gentle, intuitive and individually tailored my goal is to help you unearth your gifts so you can move through your life with more lightness and ease.

Mend not only your financial wounds but your romantic relationships, too. Many couples seek support for their love life but often shy away from addressing money, a leading cause of breakups and divorce. Explore the unique experiences, situations, and life transitions that impact your finances and self-worth. Empower yourself, heal from narcissistic abuse, and unlock the path to financial confidence while releasing the burden of shame.

I utilize eclectic approaches to customize a healing experience for you based on your strengths and growing edges. My practice is founded in a holistic mind-body-soul philosophy of healing and I believe all these components as well as our connections with others, our environment, self, and our Divine are all inextricable linked – in order for deep and lasting healing, all components must be considered and approached with love and grace. I am trauma-competent and I use approaches like EMDR, mindfulness, CBT / DBT skills, somatics, creative expression, movement, and music, to help you find a container of healing that works for you.

Life transitions can be hard. Sometimes you don’t have the words to describe your thoughts or feelings, and that can leave you feeling disconnected or misunderstood. I believe you have the power to grow and live your best life; support helps us reflect and stay resilient through the challenges along the way. I offer a warm and supportive environment for clients to safely share their thoughts and feelings. My passion as a therapist is to help you find and believe in your own voice, get unstuck, and find the confidence to seize your most important life goals and experiences.

Life is complicated and it can get heavy and messy. It feels like things have been turned upside down. Some situations feel like a funhouse mirror and you want out of the funhouse but you don’t know how to find the exit. Life's tasks fall to the side. Your social life feels confusing. Hobbies feel meaningless. Self-care can be difficult. Friends and family offer their support, but their well-intentioned help doesn't always land the way you need it to. No one seems to understand what you’re going through. It's like a two-ton boulder is blocking your path. All you want to do is hide, but you know that's not who you are at your core.

I have been working as a psychoanalyst for almost twenty years and understand how challenging it can be to seek help at times. However, as we all need assistance at various moments in our lives, embarking on psychotherapy is an important step. Working with psychoanalysis can help you better understand the past experiences that shaped your character, as well as your future, desires, goals you aspire to achieve and the fears and obstacles you encounter. I can listen to patients in English, Portuguese (my native language), and Spanish. I have experience with student's mental health, depression, anxiety, psychosis and another diagnosis.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming when seeking therapy, but that is where I come in. I view the Psychotherapy process as a team effort where we work together to work through your trauma or relationship problems. I love building a rapport with my couples to work through the healing process together.

Whether navigating workplace balance or addressing severe anxiety, I am committed to supporting individuals across a spectrum of challenges. With more than a decade of experience as a therapist, I've cultivated a deep passion and expertise in applying diverse evidence-based practices tailored to the unique needs of each individual I work with. As a compassionate guide, I accompany clients on their transformative journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Having worked in the mental health profession for over 25 years, I am a licensed mental health professional and owner of the Hicks Group Wellness Center. My primary work is with individuals suffering from domestic violence, traumas, anxiety, and depression. I am particular about whom I take as a client; my ideal client is ready for transformative change and motivated to do the therapeutic work that comes with counseling.

Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who suffer with these symptoms and I have over 17 years of experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders. I offer Therapy & Psychedelic Therapy. I have a background in art and have a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at Eating Disorder Centers, Mental Health Assessor for UCSF, Graduate psychology professor, crisis work for Mental Health Association of NYC & supervision of interns.

While other programs claim to be 'trauma-informed', our practice revolves entirely around trauma therapy. This is what we do best. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation, resilience, and growth after trauma. While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us! Sessions range from $200-125 with our therapists. Low-cost therapy sessions with our graduate interns range from $85-30.

I view therapy as an opportunity to build a meaningful life. This can be through either discovering new meaning or recognizing meaning that's been there all along. In building therapeutic relationships, I aspire to form genuine, authentic connections with patients. My specialities include working with those experiencing existential anxiety or dread, those with complicated grief, trauma survivors, those with persistent suicidal ideation, and those who use drugs and aren't interested in abstinence.

I do my work with the knowledge that I have the honor to offer comfort to those who may have been greatly wounded. I approach my work with the awareness that everyone's story contains both beauty and pain. Just as the hurt occurs in the context of relationships, so does the healing.

Grief, trauma, insecurities, anxiety and depression do not discriminate. You are not alone. If you find it difficult to move beyond it and you feel stuck, this is normal. Our body keeps score and remembers. This is why I integrate techniques that connect the mind and body. It is important to release stored up tension and stress, as well as addressing our core beliefs about our experiences. While creating coping mechanisms is important I will also help you discover root causes and address obstacles in a holistic manner.

LIfe is hard but I love my job! I am passionate about providing empathetic and compassionate therapy for people struggling with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, communication struggles, & more. I specialize in processing and moving beyond trauma and believe that the root to many of our struggles can be found in past relationships and attachments. I utilize systems theories and relational framework as a foundation for clients to explore and connect how relationships and environment impact larger goals and sense of self. I want to help you understand yourself better and utilize your past as strength to move forward.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery. This work is about finding your own inner balance and resolution and feeling free to express your authenticity. I work with mood disorders, anxiety, sleep, stress, family and relationship conflicts, compulsions and addictions. I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.
