Therapists in Bridgeville, PA

Are you tired of the typical run of the mill recovery program? Do you want an alternative to AA/NA directed recovery or are you looking to supplement your AA/NA recovery program? If yes then I am your match! I am the most open minded therapist you will meet. I know how much strength and courage it takes to reach out for help because I myself was once like you. I know how it feels to reveal your vulnerabilities to a complete stranger; and I am living proof that therapy works. My name is Shannon Gaiser MA, LPC, CAADC, CDDAP and have been a practicing therapist since 2004. I have 17 years of experience with specialties in addiction and co-occuring disorders. I am in recovery from opiate addiction and can understand the special needs of these clients. I practice using client centered, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I am open to alternatives to the traditional recovery programs including medication assisted treatment and medical marijuana treatment. I believe everyone's path to a better life is individual. I have worked 9 years in inpatient/outpatient rehabs and 8 years as a private practice therapist for a suboxone doctor. I have experience with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bi-polar d/p, sexual abuse issues and trauma. My experiences have also lead me to work with family recovery to help promote healthy boundaries. I am available for texts, video, and voice sessions. I typically will respond to messages within 5 hours, but could be longer on weekends. It would be my honor to start the journey with you. I will get in the trenches with you and we will find the light together. I look forward to working with you! Shannon Gaiser

I offer The Integrated Care Model and treat the client through the lens “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” I believe that in order to give clients the best chance at a lifelong recovery, substance use, binge eating or other unhealthy behaviors cannot be the sole treatment component. The substance(s) they are using are only a behavior, not who they are as a person. For complete wellness, we must address the deeper issues that lead the person to misuse substances, binge eat or engage in other unhealthy behaviors. As part of the Integrated Care Model, I offer to my clients Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mind Body Spirit therapies.

Please call me Taffie! That's been my nickname for all of my life! Are you looking for a safe welcoming place where you can just be? Be heard, be valued, be accepted exactly where you are? I Invite you into my space to experience these thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I incorporate different approaches which address a variety of mental health issues. I empower you to move forward in life in a way that is dynamic and nurturing. I have an unwavering belief that you can experience change based on your needs and goals. We can walk through challenge and fear together to help you create a fulfilling life. One of my specialties is addressing trauma/PTSD with EMDR therapy which engages your physical, cognitive and emotional self to process trauma. Clients in the LGBTQ community find a place to explore gender and sexual identity. Individual clients come in to talk about depression and anxiety among other issues. One of my favorite quotes is: "I am a lighthouse, rather than a lifeboat. I do not rescue, but instead help others to find their way to shore". If you are searching for the way to the shore, I can help.

Nothing is inherently wrong with you. Your diagnosis (if any) is a temporary experience; it does not define you. You don’t NEED me for long, I’m just a guide. But, if something feels off; if your head is clouded; if your career, relationships, or health are stressful; if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired; if you can’t comb through your options; if you feel stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed; if you can’t find relief… I’m here for as long as you need. But the power is in YOU. I’ll help you become so self-aware that you wholeheartedly trust your intuition enough to offer yourself the answers: no doubt, fear, or guilt. Processing confusing or challenging events requires you to step back: when you pause and breathe, you can make choices from balance, with clarity. I will not make decisions for you, or impose advice; I’ll offer tools you need to mindfully operate, so you can make ALL choices (big and small) with confidence. I’ll bring you back to your baseline of JOY. We like to reach for comforts outside of ourselves when in an unbalanced mental, emotional, or physical state. But you have everything you need to feel better NOW. I will show you just that, PLUS build up your confidence, mindfulness, and self-awareness so that you feel secure and satisfied in all areas of your life. This is the yogic path, and it works.
