Your life can feel as beautiful and fulfilling as the many wondrous pieces of architecture found in Doylestown. Or it can feel bland and unforgiving like a long drive on a relentlessly rainy day where you can't see past your front bumper. If you're having more rainy days then beautiful ones, you may benefit from the help of a mental health professional.
Reach out to a local therapist or counselor if you're struggling with complicated issues such as coping with loss, dealing with trauma, handling tough relationships, or dealing with mental illness. They can give you the support you need to start enjoying each day again.

Jennifer Oswalt
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of the Social Work program at the California University of Pennsylvania. With over 10 years of direct clinical and mental health experience, I have worked with a diverse population of individuals with issues and diagnosis including: substance abuse disorders, PTSD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, ODD, and Anxiety. I utilize a variety of orientations and therapeutic styles to meet each client’s individual needs while working with clients from a strength-based, positive, and affirming perspective. My successes include assisting clients in learning the skills necessary to cope with depression, anxiety, autism, relationship issues/family concerns, sexual trauma, unresolved emotional issues, stress-management, ADHD, grief and loss, self-esteem/self-empowerment issues, and more. I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy while also incorporating elements of the Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. These advanced methods promote healing and desired change in a unique, gentle, and respectful manner. I believe every individual has a story that needs to be told and brings a passion to encouraging others in overcoming obstacles in life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on pragmatic and personalized psychotherapy, I can provide individual treatment to those in need while focusing on the strengths of the individual as the main means of meeting any goals.

Dr. David Yudis
I am a psychologist that has focused much of my career on work in organizational settings. I believe we cannot separate our work lives from our personal lives. They naturally intersect. My work is focused on individuals who need help realizing their potential. Whether requiring support, increased self awareness or a reframed perspective, together we find insights that increase you improving your self. My Doctoral training was grounded in psychodynamic theory (seeking to understand what makes us tick, the past as it influences our behaviors today). I am a long time practitioner of human centered (humanistic) psychology (focusing on the whole person) and practice with techniques from cognitive behavioral psychology or CBT (brief, solution focused applications/treatment). I take great pride in building relationships based on trust with my clients. If you seek to make change in your life, I strive to facilitate that.

Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter

I have worked with clients with substance use disorders (i.e. opioids, stimulants, alcohol, etc.) in conjunction with other concerns including depression, anxiety, and trauma as well as relationship conflict related to these issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced learning differences, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. My counseling style is approachable, non-judgmental, and empathetic. I believe in treating individuals with respect and compassion and have worked respectfully with the LGBTQ+ community. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing forms of counseling. I will customize our dialog and treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. It takes courage to reach out for help and take the first step towards change. I know taking this first step may not seem like a big deal - but it is! If you are ready to take this important step, for you, I am here to support, motivate and empower you on this journey! I am truly looking forward to working with you. Warmly, Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, PsyD.

Angela Swettlen
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience working as a counselor, caseworker and social worker in Pennsylvania. I have worked with clients to include teenagers and adults, both individually and in a group setting, with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, self-harm, physical disabilities, chronic illness, relationship issues and legal issues. My therapy style is judgment free and interactive with some humor (when appropriate). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is solution focused, client centered, and strengths based and utilizes Narrative Therapy as well as Motivational Interviewing and Collaborative Problem Solving. I believe in meeting an individual where they are at. You know yourself better than anyone (thanks Captain Obvious!); however, sometimes we need to engage in self-examination and open dialogue with someone who does not know us, that approaches us with no preconceived notions, opinions or judgement, thus truly allowing one to look inward and to freely express and process their feelings and experiences. This alone can be freeing. It’s amazing how talking through your experiences can lead you to so many eye opening conclusions. Technology has given us a unique opportunity to incorporate self-care into our busy lives. Thank you for being open to taking part in the virtual counseling arena. I also want to recognize you; for reaching out, I know it can be so hard—it really takes courage to seek help and work toward change. I am glad you’re here. If you choose to work with me as your BetterHelp counselor, I look forward to joining your support network. I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
