Meet Adrianne
Therapist in Collegeville, PA
You finally decided that it might be a good idea to get some extra support, so you’ve been scouring the interwebs trying to find a therapist that seems like they will get you and understand your struggles.
Maybe you’ve heard stories from friends and are hesitant to jump in and trust someone with all of your shit. I get it.
Therapy is hard. Therapy is vulnerable. But you are desperate for change and ready to see what therapy is all about.
I work best with people who are ready to ask some difficult questions. You may not know what the end goal is or even the areas where you really need support but you are open to the process.
You probably also want to make sure I have received education and training in counseling and therapy.
Education
I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Duquesne University, and my Master’s Degree in Couples and Family Therapy from LaSalle University.
What is an LMFT?
A question many of my clients ask is if I only work with couples or families based on my title (Marriage and Family Therapist). My title is a bit misleading. Basically, my training informs my beliefs that you have a vast number of factors influencing you such as relationships with your family & friends and where and how you grew up to name a few. At times, we will explore these areas as I believe they often provide a ton of great information to help you towards your goals.
EMDR
Finally, I am an EMDR Certified Therapist. EMDR has been an amazing addition to my clinical skills. Click here for more information on EMDR.
So, what is therapy like anyway?
Well, honestly, all therapists practice differently and therapy is one of the cases where it is not one size fits all. My clients generally appreciate my down to earth and relatable personality.
My goal is for you to feel accepted, comfortable and welcome from the second you walk in the door. Together we will ask and explore some tough questions that will help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues you are struggling with and explore ways in which you can make meaningful change in your life.
I want you to feel in control of your life and not like your life is running you.
Spoiler alert: I do not have all the answers.
This process is collaborative. I’m here to guide and support you but I also trust that much of what you need is already inside of you and I’m here to help you unlock it. Are you feeling ready?
