Counseling Services and Treatments

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a directive form of psychotherapy that focuses on the role that thoughts play in our emotions and behavior. As individuals become more aware of their thoughts on a daily basis I will collaboratively develop the skills in clients to evaluate and modify their thoughts and beliefs.  

EMDR

  

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) is an evidence based treatment for PTSD and trauma based disorders. 


I'm excited to offer trauma treatment to Johnstown, Pa. This technique is utilized throughout the country and now you can get this treatment close to home. Trained by leading EMDR psychologist Dr. Ricky Greenwald of the Trauma Institute I will adapt this approach to your needs and achieve lasting change. 



Marriage Counseling

Couples and Marriage Counseling reduces conflict in families that stem from a variety of interpersonal issues that can cause divorce. I use therapeutic methods to increase positive communication and reduce negative interactions. ​


Infidelity, addictions, lack of communication and lack of intimacy are examples of the myriad of difficulties that occur in relationships. I provide an objective third party perspective and this gives me the ability to quickly problem solve and save your marriage or family from decline.

More useful information

 All of these methods can be used interchangeably and I will use my clinical judgment to decide which is appropriate and when. Everyone that walks through the door is an individual with very specific and different circumstances. One size fits all approaches do not work in therapy and I will individualize treatment to your specific needs.
