Welcome. Well, as you might know, there are times when we encounter challenges to the difficulties or changes in our life circumstances. While we are able to resolve some of those challenges on our own or by talking about them with close friends and family members, there are other times when we need some professional help. You may have found yourself in such a situation, so, thank you for reaching out. I am here to help. I am licensed in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, and for over 29 years, I have been helping people of all ages as a professional clinical counselor. I offer a supportive atmosphere so as to help to reduce any feelings of depression, anger, stress or anxiety. I also help to develop more rational, confident ways of thinking. My treatment style is active, instructive, and informative. I use an integrative approach to therapy as I draw primarily upon cognitive-behavioral, family systems and psychodynamic theories as needed. Additionally, I offer strategies for parents who are finding that they are having behavior difficulties with their children. In our first session together, I will most likely be asking you a lot of questions to find out more about you and to more fully understand what you are hoping to accomplish or resolve during our time together. Since counseling has a direction and is goal-oriented, developing a general idea of goals in your therapy with me will set the tone and the focus for the next session, as well as the direction of the counseling process itself. So, if you are ready for some new ways to manage your feelings or behavior and, ultimately, your life, I look forward to working with you.

I am Jim Disantis and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) who has been a psychotherapist for 35 years. I have worked in settings from child development to geriatric. I also have experience with inpatient and outpatient mental health, both non-profit and commercial as well as private practice. I have supervised other therapists among additional professionals. Life has taught me that non judgmental based therapy can be successful and I am able and willing to help you deal with issues by using well established professional methods. This includes interventions of cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapy. I also help those who are in recovery. Your spiritual and religious beliefs are "safe" to bring to the table with me if you choose to do so in a "guilt free zone".

I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with over three decades of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, relationship and career challenges, as well as major life transitions. My work is solution-focused, collaborative, and empowering—centered on helping you build clarity, confidence, and forward momentum, even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. I work especially well with clients experiencing social anxiety, general depression, low self-esteem, caregiver exhaustion, grief and loss, and stress related to relationships, marriage, divorce, family dynamics, and work environments. Many of my clients are navigating midlife transitions, career changes, identity shifts, or the emotional toll of caring for others while feeling depleted themselves. Therapy with me is not about judgment or “fixing” you—it’s about working together to understand what’s getting in the way and identifying practical, meaningful steps toward the life you want. I use Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based approaches, and evidence-informed strategies to help you recognize what’s already working, reduce emotional overwhelm, and create sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you. I have extensive experience supporting adults through older adulthood, and I am affirming and inclusive in my work with LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, grieving a loss, questioning a relationship or career path, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, therapy can be a place to regain stability, direction, and self-trust. I offer affirming, non-religious counseling in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered to develop meaningful coping strategies and move toward sustainable, positive change—at a pace that feels right for you.
