Hi there, I'm Jehlisah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I empower individuals to overcome some of life's biggest stressors while also finding ways to manage stress, cope with life changes, anxiety and depression. I strive to meet you exactly where you are and feel that every single person I work with requires different types of treatment for your specific concerns. Because of this approach, I take time to get to know you, your history and your current stressors so that we can work collaboratively to identify goals and work towards them.

Most of us can identify what we would like to see change in our lives. We often get stuck on how to make the change happen and then become frustrated with continuing to do the same things over and over again. We are all working to do the best we can and sometimes we all need help. I feel counseling is more than just talking about feelings. I believe it is an opportunity to make a lasting change in your life. I utilize several types of evidence based practices including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
