I am a graduate of Bryn Mawr College of Social Work and Social Research Masters Program. Since then, I have worked in adoption, with hospice, and with a variety of people with different problems in my private practice of 25 years. Some of these include relationship counseling, individual counseling, obesity, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, alcoholism, drug addiction, women's issues, and geriatrics. Working with people to be the best that they strive to be is always the only goal that I have. I will help you discover what is right with you. We will use your strengths to make you the best you can be. It only takes a serious commitment from you. Sometimes we may have to dig a little deeper, and that is OK, too. There is no "cookie-cutter" counseling! However, I will always treat you with the respect that you deserve, and encourage you to use the intelligence that you have within you to resolve your issues. It takes courage to change; it often takes a person in emotional pain as well. Whatever has brought you here, I salute you for taking that first step! I look forward to helping you on your journey as you find out how small changes in behavior and thinking can lead to big changes in your life, one step at a time. I am a Certified Diplomate through the National Psychotherapy Association, a Masters Addictions Counselor through the National Association of Addiction Counselors, a member of long-standing in the National Association of Social Workers, and a Masters Addictions Counselor through the National Association of Forensic Counselors. Let's get started on your being the best that you want to be! You are incredibly and beautifully complicated, and you will be impressed with all of your complexities that we will discover together as you begin your journey of self-discovery! Jan

Hello, My name is Jennifer Murphy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania. I have worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 20 years, and my expertise is related to working with individuals that experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relational conflict, etc. I am trauma-informed and DBT certified. I have a particular love for working with first responders and the military as I was a former U.S. soldier. I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as my strong points. I love helping clients challenge their thought distortions and make behavioral changes that are needed to boost their overall chance for success. Additionally, the use of DBT allows me to teach clients distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that greatly enhance their ability to recover. In terms of my work with couples, I offer a 10-week program that goes over a specific set of skills in each session. I teach clients about the common pitfalls in relationships and how they can improve their communication style. One of my clients recently referred to me as her Happiness Facilitator. My goal as a therapist is to teach you the skills you will need to begin living the life you truly want.

As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. I'm particularly passionate about guiding people through life transitions, social anxiety, and workplace difficulties. My therapeutic approach is compassionate and holistic, addressing a wide range of experiences including isolation, family dynamics, caregiver stress, and personal growth. I work collaboratively with clients to explore deeper emotional patterns, develop meaningful coping strategies, and rediscover personal strength and purpose. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and build resilience for their future. My goal is to empower clients to develop greater self-understanding and create positive, sustainable changes in their lives.

Hi! I am Karin, a Licensed Therapist in Pennsylvania. This has been my life long dream, to be a counselor. When other kids were playing house or school, I was playing psychiatrist - though I am sure I didn't know how to spell it then! I used to write letters to my cousins that read more like a Dear Abby advice columnist than a kid's communication with their bestie. I poured over advice columns in teen magazines like, "was my face red..." and never cared about the current fashions as much as "could this marriage be save?"! So here I am, years later, living out my passion and realizing that I don't have the advice, nor do I want to! But that I have a listening spirit and clinical skill that can be of help to anyone that needs it. I lean toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but simply put, that means that there is a connection between what you think and then how you feel. So if you don't like how you feel, we look at what you are saying to yourself and if that is helping you to feel the way you want to feel or not! Pretty simple really. I want to help people feel as good as they possibly can right now... with the circumstances they have and with the past they have lived through. And it is possible to have lived through some really bad things and still have peace and serenity in your life. If you are not convinced, that could be a good reason why you need to work with me. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Hello and welcome. I am an Ordained Minister (Rev), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in Pennsylvania. My background is in pastoral ministry (since January 2001). My wife and I have been married since June of 2000 and we have five children ranging in ages from 12 to 18. Over the past 24 years I have spent a lot of time in counseling with individuals, couples, and families helping them to overcome their struggles (Parenting, premarital and marital issues, ADHD, depression, anxiety, gambling and substance abuse and addiction, legal issues, religious issues, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and many others). I desired to be better equipped to help, so I went back to get my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy which I completed in December of 2017. I was glad to be able to bring my real world experience to the classroom and I found that I was already putting into practice a lot of what I was studying. Over the years I have worked with clients from all walks of life. I've had clients from all faiths (and no faith) backgrounds, straight and LBGTQIA, children, teens, adults, parents, grandparents, and people in Hospice and their families. I believe that you are the expert of your life. I will help you find ways to utilize your strength to overcome your struggles and move you from your current situation to where you want to be. I will be your supporter, your cheerleader, your encourager, and your teammate. I believe that real change can start in the therapy session, but you make the change happen outside of session and in the real world. You can do it, you can achieve your goals. I'm looking forward to helping you do so.
