My name is Alie and I am a Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over 7 years of experience in working with clients presenting with various challenges, including: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, marital issues, OCD, attention-related disorders, self-harm, trauma, addiction and challenges related to various life transitions. My style is warm and personal, for I think it is important to tailor therapy to each individual, so as to inspire both comfort and positive growth. Sometimes, asking for help is the most difficult step and for that, I already admire your strength. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic therapies, wherein we will explore methods of helping you to find a happier and more functional way-of-life. If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask; there is nothing I would like more, than to help you lead a more satisfying life. Thank you for checking-out my profile and I look forward to working together :)

My name is Elizabeth “Liz” Smith. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor. I completed my master's degree in professional counseling at Waynesburg University in 2010 as a nontraditional student. I have primarily worked with those who have struggled with depression, anxiety, career issues, mood dysregulation, relationship and couple problems, and other life challenges presented by any type of life being disordered. I have worked with many families and children on the autism spectrum and have been told that my insight is helpful. I have obtained Specialized Family Therapy Certification and training to provide Co-Parenting, Trans-Parenting, and Re-unification services. Finally, I have also studied and provided grief and loss approaches in counseling. As a therapist, I walk alongside and focus on each person’s specific identified needs and I adjust my style accordingly. In addition to trauma evidence-based approaches, I tend to draw from client centered, solution focused, strength based and motivational approaches. Many of my clients have reported experiencing increased positive self-image, freedom from emotions tied to traumatic memories, and improved constructive communication and coping skills. I am down to earth and approachable. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, and without judgement, accepted and understood. I will check and respond to messages at least twice daily, six days a week. I will offer live chat, phone sessions and occasional video sessions weekly, mostly between the hours of 8 AM and 6 PM on identified days of the week.

I have a Master's Degree in Professional Clinical Counseling and also hold credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the field for 9 years and have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns; including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma, grief, life transitions, and more. As a standard practice, I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My counseling style is engaging and person-first. It is important to me to be able to collaborate with you and meet you where you are at in each interaction by incorporating different therapeutic techniques. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, person-centered, trauma informed, and solution focused. Identifying and setting your goals is a team-effort, and together we will work at your comfort level to effectively establish and achieve goals that are tailored to your life while developing healthy skills that encouraging self-discovery. Outside of my career, I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy taking walks along trails and parks. I am working towards getting back into jogging. I've played sports and currently play softball on weekends. I strongly advocate the concept of self-care and finding an overall balance in one's life. It takes a lot of strength and will power to seek counseling and I understand how vulnerable and overwhelming you may feel. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

25 years offering treatment
I have over 25 years of experience providing mental health therapy to individual's, couples, and families. I believe that you should not be in therapy for years, but should be quickly making the changes in your life to get you out of therapy. The goal of therapy is to help you to determine what those changes are and then to help you take the necessary steps to make those changes. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and mindfulness. I am direct, honest, and genuine in the care I provide and consider my assessment and diagnostic skills to be my greatest strength. Client satisfaction and demonstrable results are a priority. I will be the first person to tell you if we are not a good fit. I am interactive and do more than "just sit there and listen." I have a strong background in working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum, including couples, as well as, female medical conditions that impact mental health functioning. In addition, I have 10 years of experience in the area of disability services at the college level.

Hello. I am licensed in Pennsylvania with about 10 year of professional work experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with adults and adolescents to assist in a wide range of concerns.

I focus on utilizing your own strengths to assist you in making the changes you identify. Since no two individuals are the same, I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach. I have a client-centered style but also pull from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Multisystemic and Humanistic approaches. I stay flexible with my approach to help meet my clients where they are at and meet their needs. I consider myself to be non-religious, open minded, and maintain a nonjudgmental approach.

I like to take a collaborative and person-centered approach to therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I take the time to get to know and understand each of my clients before diving deeper into the work of therapy. I operate with the belief that everyone is always doing the best they can in the moment they are in. Our work together will help you to develop the skills you need to help you through whatever you're going through. No matter what life has thrown at you, you're stronger than you realize and we will use that strength to help you be the best version of you. I use a behavioral based approach to help people understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their actions. What I love most about providing therapy is having the opportunity to help people discover inner strength that they've always had and maybe didn't know was there. I believe that all people are capable of becoming who they want to be. When you're ready, I'll be there with you, ready to help you reach your limitless potential.
