Therapists in Wyoming, PA

Everyone deserves a journey of self-healing and self-discovery. In fact, allowing yourself to blossom is the avenue to experiencing self-love and meaningful connections with others. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 12 years, but have been researching and seeking methods of healing since my early teens. I attended the University of California, San Diego, followed by Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EFT Practitioner. I have resided in California, Colorado, New Jersey, and now reside in Austin, Texas. I have experience assisting families, adolescents, and adults dealing with a range of issues including anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, addictions, end of life issues, and issues related to discrimination and marginalization. I am an experienced therapist, supervisor, and group facilitator in various settings. I also served as adjunct faculty at Naropa University, teaching courses on Transforming Addictions and Multicultural and Diversity Issues in Counseling. I was always fascinated by the intersection of mind, body, spirit, and emotion, and have undoubtedly learned the power of transforming harmful mental and emotional patterns. As such, I found myself specializing in mindfulness based techniques and with foundations in unique spiritual perspectives. I am certified in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a powerful, but simple method that provides immediate relief of distress. When offered in guided sessions, EFT also works to unravel and shift unhealthy patterns that the conscious mind and talk therapy alone cannot access. Your strengths lie in your weaknesses, and your power lies within your suffering. I will gently guide you through a journey where you can piece by piece, find balance and empowerment in your life. I am passionate about being an innovator in the field of psychology and supporting work that brings forth real change. Transformation is possible, and we often face systems and ways of approaching mental health that make us feel stuck. I am devoted to sharing knowledge and information with others on how they can create breakthroughs in their own lives, no matter where they came from and who they are. My youtube channel "Keep the Clarity" is a space where I share lessons and experience in moving towards real change with others, including work with other counselors pertaining how to better our work with our clients.

Asking for help can be the most difficult decision you can make for yourself. It’s never an easy step, as we often prefer by nature to handle things on our own. I'm here to help you along your journey, as we look together and examine areas that you wish to change. My approach is collaborative and compassionate focusing on individual strengths and creating an environment that is safe for exploration and reflection. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania with over 12 years of experience in assessment and mental health treatment. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, etc. I have also helped many people who have a history of trauma. While these may be some areas of focus this is not an exhaustive list of my experience. I have a passion for helping women overcome barriers that are holding them back from achieving what they desire and find fulfillment in the journey of life. If you feel we'd be a good match, I'd be happy to work with you. ***My current availability is limited, however I do have a few openings. *** Colleen Mest, LCSW

Welcome! It is said that optimal health is not just the absence of disease, but rather the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my clients can address their psychological needs and overcome the barriers that limit their ability to actualize their full potential. I utilize an eclectic modality, with a strong focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychological coaching. With all clients, a strengths based perspective is always a fundamental building block of treatment and a consistent concept throughout the treatment process. I have 17 years of experience as a licensed clinician, with 12 years in private practice. In addition, I am also a licensed attorney. I look forward to working with you!

I've learned so much from my own personal struggles, and I would love to have the opportunity to support you as well, and to help you create new ways of taking care of yourself and having the healthy relationships that you deserve.
