Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Pennsylvania with over 20 years experience providing mental health services to clients of all ages. I am a developmentalist at heart, believing in the whole of our life experience making us who we are today. Over the years my clients have ranged from age 2 to age 80 and I have seen individuals and families in settings such as outpatient, inpatient, treatment facilities, hospitals, schools and residential. More important than approach or type of therapy is the relationship that you form with a counselor. Research indicates that the client/therapist relationship is the biggest indicator of success in therapy. In other words, safety and comfort in the therapeutic relationship is key. I use an eclectic approach to counseling which means that I draw from various types of therapies to best meet your needs. Each person is unique and to be most effective, each approach needs to match the individual. I use aspects of Person-Centered Therapy , CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Solution Focused Therapy, IPNB (Interpersonal Neurobiology), Dyadic Developmental Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy. It takes strength to reach out for counseling, especially if you are not feeling particularly strong. I will join you by whatever means of communicating is best for you; video, messaging, phone or live chat. Together we will move toward your goals. I am available to communicate daily and look forward to working with you.

My journey as a therapist started in 2008 when I began my graduate work at Cairn University. I graduated in 2012 and began working at the University Counseling Center and accumulating hours towards my license. Throughout the next several years I split my time between private practice and doing assessments at the psychiatric hospital. Between these two venues I was privileged to participate in providing the full range of mental health services available within the community and worked with people from all walks of life and levels of need. Over the last 9 years I have worked helped individuals and families deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, and stress management. I've walked with people through times of crisis, job searches, and stage of life transitions. In particular, I know first hand the burden families face when a loved one is chronically ill and how to help people navigate through those challenges. My approach to therapy utilizes practices from a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic interventions along with mind-body techniques. I have a strong passion for integrative medicine and therefore consider all aspects of a person’s life pertinent to their wellbeing. Each person is a unique and therefore every person requires a unique approach tailored just for them. I can be a strong voice, inserting direct feedback and challenge or I can gently assist and guide you to find your way. I am here to laugh, cry, strive, and fight with you. My joy is to see people discover more of their true self, to overcome personal obstacles, and to learn contentment in the midst of unpredictable life trials. I am grateful for every opportunity that I am given to share in another's journey of life.

Welcome! My name is Andrea, and I am a LPC (licensed professional counselor) in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over 17 years' experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, partial care, outpatient, crisis and in-home services. Although that seems like a lot, it simply means that I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and trauma. I also have experience working with substance use and intellectual/developmental disabilities. My dedication to the field of mental health stems from my personal experience with it. I know firsthand that getting help can be a challenge. There is still so much stigma around having mental health issues, the process for getting help can be overwhelming, and it can feel so frustrating and lonely. However, life can change for the better when you find support and take steps towards taking care of yourself! I use a person-centered, integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs. I primarily use evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I would describe my style as warm and supportive while also being able to challenge when needed. I view counseling as a relationship where we are working together to overcome current problems. In order to do this, we must have a good working relationship where trust is formed. I look forward to hearing from you.

A part of each person already knows the solution to the issues that arise. Often that part has gone into hiding because of trauma that has occurred. It takes courage and sometimes a trusting relationship to allow that part to share. My name is Helen Cook. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I have worked with adolescents, couples and adults during my 12 years as a counselor. My training as a nurse with 21 years in the Army, a biology teacher for 11 years and a WW (Weight Watchers) coach for 20 years has also impacted my counseling skills. Working with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), training in EMDR, Brainspotting and hypnotherapy have given me many tools to help others. Mind-Body connection is also very important and I strive to identify and work this connection as often as necessary to help people heal.
