"At any given moment you have the power to say: This is not how the story is going to end". My experience is in counseling individuals with depression and anxiety disorders while developing a positive, empathetic, non- judgmental and trusting therapeutic relationship. I have a background in working with youth and young adults with learning disabilities, ADHD, depression, and autism spectrum disorders. My theoretical approach is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a talking therapy. The therapy aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure in the present. The goal is to modify one's thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions, and to change one's usual pattern of behavior. I also do self esteem building, goal setting, learning positive self talk, solution focused therapy, problem solving, and building confidence and self worth. I also do executive coaching and career counseling which involves working with a client to reach a specific goal in their professional development. The specific areas of coaching may include career transition, interpersonal and professional communication, performance management, organizational effectiveness, managing career and personal changes, enhancing strategic thinking, and dealing effectively with conflict. I have experience in working with couples with relationship and marital difficulties. The focus of this therapy is building positive communication, identifying problem areas in the communication process, identifying emotional needs in a relationship, setting relationship goals, and learning to problem solve and compromise in order to reach resolutions in arguments. I have a Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh and 14 years in the field counseling individuals. I love what I do and I feel that therapy can be such a positive investment. I look forward to working with you!

25 years offering treatment
Hi, I have been counseling for over 25 years, having worked across both inpatient and outpatient settings, with adults and children, and with individuals and families/groups in relation to both mental health and substance abuse issues. I have a master's from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania's M.A. in Clinical Psychology program and also have earned a post-master's certificate in Psychology from Northcentral University. I plan to complete my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology over the next 3 years. I have worked under the direct supervision of psychologists for years, conducting varied psychological testing and report writing. In addition, I have taught at the College/University level for 20 years, both part-time and full-time, in Psychology, Sociology, and Human Services. I truly love the social and behavioral sciences--so many fascinating ideas! My approach is friendly, straightforward, and solution focused. My role, really, is to assist you in reaching your goals in life. I am person-centered as we are each unique in our strengths and weaknesses. I am very eclectic in my counseling approach, drawing from the many interesting perspectives in the helping field--whether psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, or systems-based. These approaches are often very helpful in assisting folks with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger management, goal attainment, relationship issues, and more. On a personal level, I enjoy varied martial arts training as well as other mind-body disciplines--such as Yoga and T'ai Chi. I do often incorporate mindfulness training into counseling as can help folks with issues related to anxiety, attention, mood, relaxation, sleep, etc. Such practices can also become a bridge to self-development and spirituality, for those so interested. So, please connect with me on any questions or concerns you may have. I'd like to get to know you, and see how I may be of assistance. Sincerely, Richard States, MA, LPC
