EMDR Therapists in Pennsylvania

My ideal population is adults struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, or substance use - however I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist who is dedicated to them, and I would never turn away a client unless their needs were out of my scope of practice. My ideal client is someone who is motivated for therapy and is willing to learn.

We all experience difficult or painful events in our lives. We may feel anxious, depressed, or just not ourselves. You don't have to deal with things alone. Maybe you're having relationship issues, or you lost someone you love. Perhaps you went through a traumatic event, and are having a difficult time coping. I can teach you better ways to cope with difficult situations, recognize your feelings, and restructure your thoughts. You are the expert, and I will give you the tools to cope. I will work with you to heal and bring balance and happiness back into your life.

I am a passionate therapist whose mission is to help you to achieve emotional wellness. As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve practiced therapy for over 7 years in a variety of settings. My therapeutic treatment modalities include Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure and Solution Focused Brief Therapy with an understanding of choosing from eclectic, appropriate modalities to meet the client’s needs.

Tired of repeating old, unsatisfying patterns in relationship? Ready to break free from constricting insecurities and inhibitions? Need help being kinder and more accepting toward yourself? Want to live less in your thoughts and more in your body? Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to psychological healing and personal growth that works directly with the mind-body connection. Gentle but powerful, somatic psychotherapy works deeply to help you gain crucial insight, experience new ways of being and feeling, and cultivate lasting change.

We are all working to do the best we can and sometimes we just need another perspective and the resources for trying new tools or strategies. I believe that counseling must be more than "feelings talk". Working together, I help you appreciate your own strengths and expand your confidence in experimenting with different possibilities in all of your relationships both personal and work related. Experiences of parenting three children, grandchildren and a 30 year marriage give me a deep respect for the challenges and the effort we all bring to our lives.

I am an experienced psychologist, devoted to helping people in distress to find their way to healing and growth and to a better life. I am empathic and caring. I create a safe therapeutic environment that encourages the client to experience him/herself in a new and complete way, so he/she can find new meaning in life and make better choices. I maintain a deep respect for the uniqueness of the individual, addressing each person's specific needs. I use a variety of proven treatment techniques and integrate them into an individual treatment plan. For more information, see www.rebeccatendler.com.

Do you struggle with trusting others or with feelings of not being "enough"? Do you experience negative, unhelpful thought loops? Therapy is an invaluable space where you can begin to investigate all the parts of yourself and begin to heal and thrive. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, and symptoms of PTSD, particularly resulting from interpersonal trauma, through attachment focused EMDR. I will hold space for your pain and help you connect to the best version of self. I can help you to increase your sense of calm, decrease anxious and depressive symptoms and change unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns.

I enjoy empowering the individuals that I work with to help them make a decision in the direction they would like to see their lives go. Through several Cognitive Behavior Techniques, we are able to discover faulty cognitive patterns that may or may not have led to automatic negative thoughts (ANTS). As we discover those faulty cognitive thinking patterns, we are able to help individuals reframe negative thought patterns to help relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and raise self-esteem. I am also trained in EMDR. Sometimes painful memories get locked in our brains. EMDR helps process those memories, where the brain does it all.

Sometimes life hands us difficult challenges. As a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience, I can help you find solutions to life's problems. In therapy you will learn how to heal and strengthen your relationship with yourself and how to create a more loving connection with your partner. I incorporate a mix of psychological, educational and spiritual approaches, including EFT and EMDR, to assist in the letting go of disturbing thoughts and feelings, daily relational conflicts and emotional distancing. It is deeply rewarding for me when clients come to experience themselves as confident and lovable, their partner safe and valuable.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, trapped, or like your brain just won't stop ruminating and you're tired, but don't know how to make it stop, I'm here for you.

I specialize in treating children through young adults (5- 26+) and hope to guide them on their journey. I identify key coping skills to manage rollercoaster emotions, chaotic relationships, impulsive/destructive behaviors, and connect mind-body through somatic practices. This stabilization allows space for processing of adverse experiences.

Feeling stuck in life? Maybe it's time to get some help. Do you find yourself getting sad or angry at confusing moments in your life? Do others find you to be "primarily angry," "often sad," or in some other way dominated by one particular feeling? Expressing and/or making sense of negative emotions is sometimes challenging. I help people examine, understand, and process their feelings so that they can be more productive and self-secure. I am also particularly skilled in helping people with life and career transition problems.
