"We all have the capacity to be the heroes of our own story." This is the basis of my counseling approach. I am a professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience counseling, and 14 years total in mental health. I have worked with individuals aged 5-85, and also with couples and group therapy.
In this modern world, there are times we can get lost, stressed or overwhelmed when our lives become confusing or when we face a difficult change. It may be that we are just getting in our own way, that we need room to sort through issues and gain new skills; or that a significant mental illness keeps us from living the life we want.
We can be helped through our time of pain, frustration, or weakness, until we can become strong, learn to heal ourselves, nurture each other, and access our inner wisdom. While this is the basis of my approach, the details come in meeting clients where they are at, and helping them work towards self-selected goals.
I draw from many evidence-based theories, including Cognitive-Behavioral; Emotion-Focused Therapy; Psychodynamic, Narrative, & Mindfulness practice. I also incorporate creative coping skills depending on the client. I welcome each client's own personal beliefs and worldview, so that our work can empower your authentic self. I've worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, trauma, loss, behavioral & developmental issues, relational struggles, and more. I look forward to helping you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Colette Bone. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Colette breaks the “wall” telehealth has. Virtual sessions can seem distant in some ways, but my sessions with Colette never feel like that. She has a warm and caring soul that really makes me feel supported and heard. Thank you for healing us!

Colette really takes the time to get to know you. She listens to what you're saying and thinks on it before responding. If you're looking for care that is specific to you, Colette is who you're looking for.
