Brenda Wise
Welcome! My name is Brenda Wise and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I also have my CAADC, Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have over 29 years of experience working in various counseling settings to include: substance abuse counseling for a drug and alcohol out-patient treatment facility, faith-based counseling, and working with clients struggling with grief, marriage problems, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns. Often times people just need someone to help them get through a difficult time in their lives, counseling provides that additional support. In order to determine which treatment approach will best help my clients, I evaluate each client’s individual situation then utilize whichever therapeutic technique will be most successful in helping them overcome the obstacles they face. I integrate treatment theories to meet the needs of my clients. My primary focus is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) where I help the client challenge their negative thoughts that will often times lead to negative behaviors. I will also incorporate Psychoeducation as needed to help my client understand possible coping and problem-solving skills. I would describe my style of counseling as supportive and encouraging. My counseling sessions are centered around the client learning to recognize how to overcome the obstacles in their life and/or relationships. Often times this will include improving communication skills and learning to rebuild trust with self and others. I encourage self-care and discuss the importance of boundaries of self and others. I believe setting goals is imperative for both the individual and the overall treatment process; I believe we all need to establish short-term and long-term goals for ourselves, our relationships, and our careers.

Megan Thorry
Hi! I'm Megan and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have been working as a therapist for 9 years and have worked with a variety of ages, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I also have experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, vocational issues, transitions in life, and family/relationship conflict. My therapeutic style is most importantly providing trust and empathy to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I know what it's like to look for a therapist of my own and to build that therapeutic relationship. So I know how important that bond needs to be (on both sides) for there to be progress in the growth you're looking to make. My approach to therapy is a mixture of cognitive behavior therapy, humanistic (person-centered), motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapy. Everyone's experiences in life are different and it's important that you feel as if your experiences are important. I want you to have a genuine and authentic experience with a therapist and I hope that can be me.
