We'll talk about how you feel, but also discuss concrete strategies to help. I work with individuals with depression, anxiety, stress or relationship issues.

I also work with people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed in either their personal or professional lives with the goal of not just getting by, but flourishing.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience providing, supervising, and training others in how to provide evidence-based therapies for a diverse array of clients dealing with mental health and behavioral challenges.

My training focused on evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy among others.

When you find yourself questioning whether to seek support, I believe this is your system letting you know that old patterns, which were learned at some point to protect you in your past, are not letting you move into your future whole and well. These patterns can be set in motion from early experiences of development, traumatic experiences, transgenerational trauma, along with the ongoing experiences of oppression, both overt and subtle, in daily life that undermine your trust in your own internal resources. Let's empty the baggage and turn a painful past into a thriving future.

Psychotherapy helps you see yourself, and your world, in a new way.

My style is compassionate and interactive, fully appreciating the courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy, while helping you make room for new possibilities to unfold. I look forward to working with you!

Greetings, my name is Dr. Allena M. Moncrief. I obtained my PhD from Drexel University in the field of Couple and Family Therapy in 2017. I have been providing therapeutic services to clients in Pennsylvania since 2010. As a psychotherapist, I understand the decision to enter psychotherapy can be extremely challenging for some individuals. Thus, I strive to meet individuals where they are in the therapeutic process. This process involves helping individuals explore the root of their difficulties/roadblocks and assisting them with creating a roadmap that will lead to a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

With a focus on family of origin exploration, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I promote developmental growth in individuals, couples and families in areas of communication, conflict resolution, relational skills, grief/loss, and recovery from trauma.

Do you feel weighed down by anxiety and stress? Are you looking to change your life for the better? I will work with you to overcome challenges, set goals, and envision a better life. Whether you are working on individual issues, coping with family conflict, divorce or relationship challenges, gender issues, chronic medical concerns, transitioning through life stages, or looking to enhance the happiness that has eluded you, I can offer support. My training, experience, and approach supports focused, compassionate, nonjudgemental and targeted change.

Dr. Pedicino offers counseling and psychotherapeutic services to individuals and couples in NJ and PA, searching for a creative way to attain happiness, contentment, serenity, productivity, and unconditional love in every aspect of one's life, relationships and/or one's career. Patients/clients will be guided to experience what improvisation, creativity, and consciousness can bring to one's state of being. Habitual and/or dogmatic patterns of behavior, which have led to discomfort, anxiety, and emotional distress, will be examined so that new patterns of thought and behavior will create newly discovered satisfaction and happiness.

On the surface everything is “fine” but underneath is there an inner critic that rails against you all day? You want to unload your shame and anxiety, but not sure how? As an Asian-American therapist who sees the therapeutic relationship as a powerful instrument of change, I see therapy as a sacred site to bear witness to and support the whole person lingering in and around the thresholds of life. It’s a space where you are seen and accepted for who you are, where we can safely untangle generational wounds, shame, perfectionism, internalized invisibility, and find the courage to explore, learn, and tend to the messiness of life.

When working with my clients, I address problems related to difficult life transitions, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationships, career, and parenting effectiveness. My clients and I work together to form useful, hands-on strategies. My goals are that clients feel better sooner than later so they can enjoy a higher quality of life.
