Hello, I’m Desiree, a licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist dedicated to helping individuals harness the transformative power of art to foster personal growth and healing. Through my practice, Whole heART THERAPY, I offer a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and achieve meaningful change. My approach to utilizing the art in session to talk and explore challenging experiences and emotions. It can be hard to make sense of complicated emotions and find the words to express them, this is where Art can help this process! Art can offer a way to explore a wide range of emotional and mental challenges. By integrating various art modalities, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and collage, I encourage clients to express themselves in a non-verbal and symbolic way, unlocking their inner voice and facilitating self-discovery.

I provide psychotherapy and psychological evaluations for adolescents and adults struggling with a range of problems, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. My theoretical orientations include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and more. My goal for clients is to help them learn coping skills to manage their problems independently and effectively. As a therapist, I use a team approach to help clients feel safe, validated, and supported during their time in therapy. My therapy skills as a psychologist are evidence-based, meaning they are rigorously tested in clinical research and found to be effective to addressing your symptoms and problems. All treatment plans are tailor to your individual, specific needs.

Therapy is a space where healing, growth, and clarity can begin and I’m here to walk alongside you in that process. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable. I’m a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, working with adults and teens. I earned my master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and have extensive experience using a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered. In our sessions, we’ll explore patterns, address unhelpful cycles, and build new, healthier ways of moving through the world. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy drinking coffee, crocheting, hiking, and spending time outdoors. I also have a deep love for plants and find peace in caring for them.

I HOPE TO PROVIDE AN UNDERSTANDING, EMPATHETIC SPACE FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR CHALLENGES, WORRIES, OR FEARS. MY CORE BELIEF IS THAT EACH PERSON IS THE EXPERT OF THEIR OWN STORY AND THEREFORE HAS THE POWER WITHIN THEM FOR PRODUCTIVE GROWTH. SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED SOME GENTLE GUIDANCE ALONG THE WAY AND THAT'S WHERE I COME IN! I UTILIZE MULTIPLE THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES AND CREATIVE INTERVENTIONS TO TAILOR EACH SESSION TO MEET YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS AT THAT MOMENT. SOME OF THESE TECHNIQUES MAY FOCUS ON WELLNESS, SYMPTOM TRACKING, AWARENESS, THOUGHT REFRAMING, ETC. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT A PERSON'S UNIQUE EXPERIENCES DEEPLY AFFECT THEM AND SO I OFTEN APPROACH COUNSELING THROUGH A TRAUMA-INFORMED LENS. THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS IS A CONSTANTLY CHANGING JOURNEY THAT REQUIRES DIFFERENT PIECES AT EACH STAGE. I WILL BE WITH YOU ALONG THIS JOURNEY, THINKING OF CREATIVE WAYS TO ADDRESS YOUR NEEDS AND ALWAYS PROVIDING YOU WITH SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

I use a traditional therapeutic modality (cognitive behavioral) in conjunction with a Mindfulness based approach. Clients learn to self regulate emotions as they learn to achieve their personal goals. Life will become more meaningful and fulfilling when the individual aligns with a purpose that feels authentic and valuable.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I tend to work best with clients who are experiencing adjustments to life stages, and/or those who identify with Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and anxiety disorders. I am passionate about creating spaces, both in therapy and in communities, that can hold all parts of us, including the vulnerable and painful ones, and allow them to connect rather than isolate us. I work to empower clients to understand their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and reclaim their lives. Our individualized therapy sessions provide a safe space for healing and growth, guiding you toward lasting resilience and improved mental well-being. Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming worry, or persistent sadness, my role is to guide you in uncovering and embracing these resources through a compassionate and supportive therapeutic relationship. I also work with couples, where I provide a safe and supportive environment so that partners can explore their feelings, improve communication, and navigate conflicts. With personalized strategies and evidence-based techniques, I’m here to help couples rediscover intimacy, build trust, and foster a deeper connection. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or seeking to enhance your relationship, I’m here to guide you on your journey to a healthier, happier partnership. Let’s work together to create the love and understanding you deserve. Whether you're interested in individual, couple's, or group therapy, I strive to create a compassionate healing environment built on trust, transparency and mutual respect, in which clients can reclaim their sense of power and agency as they reconnect with their inner strength. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where we explore your inner world and develop practical tools for emotional resilience. My approach is collaborative, and I aim to empower you to understand and embrace all parts of yourself, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Drexel University, and my Bachelor’s from the State University of New York at Oswego. I have formal training in Exposure Response Prevention, the gold standard of OCD treatment, but also heavily incorporate other modalities in my work and will always tailor our work to your needs. When not at work, I can often be found with friends at a local coffee shop, or home spending time with my partner and our two cats, Jack and Hendricks.

Hi! I'm Heather, and I work with trauma survivors, high achievers, and people with lots of anxiety. While I work with all kinds of trauma, my most significant experience is at the intersections of religious trauma and LGBTQ+ identities, and/or high intelligence. I like working with people who want to understand why they do the things they do, or who already know but can't seem to stop doing them.
