EMDR Therapists in Pennsylvania

It’s unsettling to be in the world as it is, especially for queer folks. It’s time to rise up, face our fears, and heal and nurture ourselves. I work exclusively with those in this beautiful, sparkly, rainbow-hued community to help with transitions and troubles, navigate life's journey, and thrive. I give feedback and use my life experiences to connect, to view situations in new ways, clarify ideas, and invite them to try new things.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes"..... Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a cage without a key? Are you caught in an unexpected or difficult situation which seems increasingly demanding? Maybe you find yourself caught up in thoughts, memories or behaviors which leave you feeling diminished or scared, and leave others feeling worried about you. Via psychotherapy, we can turn these experiences around by effecting changes in the way you experience yourself and your world.

Some experiences cannot be put into words and yet their impact lasts a lifetime. Tendrils of that impact are apparent in most aspects of our lives. I specialize in working with such experiences, whether you call it traumatic, something else, or nothing at all. I have had years of experience in crisis management, interpersonal relationship building, and coping skills support, all from a culturally-informed perspective. My culture does influence my perspective and responses in life so I hold people’s cultural identity as central to their therapy.

Experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma can affect us to the point that is debilitating. I can help you understand your roadblocks. You'll learn to tap into unknown strengths, learn new strategies, or challenge beliefs that are no longer effective. I specialize in working with individuals, children, couples, and families. I've provided services for a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, career challenges, ADHD, and more. Within about 3 months, clients report feeling better and began to thrive in their lives.

You are feeling overwhelmed w/ anxiety, sad, & irritable because your thoughts won't let you rest. New transitions, grief, trauma, burn out or stress left you feeling stuck. Traits o/ imposter syndrome birthed self doubt & overthinking. If not showing up for you while presenting for others has you drained, then its time to prioritize your needs while healing at your own pace. Life doesn't come with a manual neither do you, but with patience & individualized plan the journey to evolution is limitless. Balancing life has its struggles when you are trying to advocate & positively learn about you! Take back control & emit your MAGIC!

Trauma can affect us in ways we are not always aware of. Healing can help us in ways we never knew were possible. Stressful and distressing life events can leave us feeling alone, wounded, anxious, sad, or angry. Until the trauma is healed, we may continue to stay stuck. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults (ages 14+), who are struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Self injury, Suicidality, Grief & Loss, OCD, Anger, and other uncomfortable emotions. By treating the potential trauma that lies beneath the surface, I can help you find peace and healing.

This is the first step to becoming a new you. Life can often be overwhelming and filled with obstacles. Making changes is not always easy, but it is possible to overcome the negative feelings in order to reach your full potential. Past and present issues can cause stress, anxiety and depression if not dealt with properly. At PA Horizons Counseling, we can provide an opportunity for you to achieve the life you want. Our team of therapists aim to guide you through your journey in discovering your true self. We believe therapy is essential to recovery. Call today to set up a free consultation and to discuss how we can help you.

Many years ago I changed my life by pursuing a more fulfilling career. The concept that most inspired me was “Neuroplasticity”- That we can change the way our mind works and in so doing experience greater well-being. Negative beliefs about ourselves are generally linked to negative things that we experienced in the past, or positive things that we needed to experience but unfortunately never did. By utilizing interventions that target "what happened" or "what needed to happen but didn't" we can increase our self-worth. We can't undo "what happened" but we CAN undo the impact that hurtful experiences/relationships have had on us.

Hello! I strive to create a space that meets all of your needs. I offer a wide range of therapy resulting from my diverse experience: sexuality and gender identity, substance use disorders, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I work primarily with adults and adolescents, and I provide both individual and couple’s counseling. I am also trained in EMDR therapy.

People often believe the myth that therapy is just clients talking about their problems, the reality is much more complex! I love my work, because people show up with courage amid the difficulty of life to share honestly about the things that matter most deeply to them. In return, I offer engaged presence, kindness, and new ideas to those who bravely share their inspiring, beautiful, wounded, in-process selves. Then we work together to build insight and movement towards being whole and living their unique lives well.

Here’s what you can expect if we work together: We'll create a treatment plan that prioritizes growth and healing at a pace that is manageable for you and your nervous system. We will work to build a relationship that feels nourishing and where your needs are actually being met. This creates sustainable results and builds safety and connection. We’ll implement tools for you that provide relief in the day to day as well as the long term. We’ll start where you’re at, and I’ll never push you to talk about something you’re not ready to talk about. Safety is the priority when we're working together.

Hello! My name is Gregg and I help people through some of the tough times in their lives. I believe that we adjust to new experiences using the tools we already possess and a desire to thrive in new surroundings, but sometimes this striving to survive can cause us emotional and behavioral difficulties. I provide supportive guidance through these situations using tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative, and existential therapies, from the psychodynamic approach.

I utilize an embodied and integrated approach to support clients to heal from past wounds and improve current functioning. As a body-oriented therapist, I believe attending to posture, gesture, breath, tensions, voice, and movement can yield powerful insights and changes in how we experience ourselves and the world and facilitate the integration of body, mind and spirit toward fuller authentic living. Often, we need to encounter what we find within us to be deeply unacceptable, painful, and terrifying to be set free and transform. As a compassionate, supportive guide, I am humbled and honored to accompany my clients on this journey.

In over 8 years of clinical experience, I have observed profound healing in my clients by addressing the underlying causes of their distress.

Are you also grappling with depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout? My name is Blair Mead, and I'm a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I work with children, adolescents, and women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and I work with my clients using various evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment modalities, including EMDR.

In my practice, I find meeting my clients where they are and working together from their goals to be most effective. I would work with my you from a strengths-based approach, helping you to focus your goals on improving your quality of life and working on the different areas of life which either prevent you from achieving your desires or may be a strength to work from! I am open to working with clients from all ages and backgrounds!

I primarily work with those suffering from trauma-based issues, abuse, PTSD, anxiety, and Women’s issues (such as pregnancy and postpartum). I enjoy working with those looking to heal from past trauma or adverse experiences in order to heal and live a more fulfilling life. I also seek to assist those suffering from anxiety in the present, as well as those experiencing feelings that are overwhelming and difficult. If you are looking to heal from your past and be more comfortable in your present, I am here to help.
