Fundamental Concepts Counseling and Wellness

I have a Master of Science in the field of Counseling Psychology, with a specialization in Child and Adolescent Therapy (CHAD), attained in May 2003 from Chestnut Hill College, Philadelphia, PA. I have worked in the Mental Health field for 18 years. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have experience working with individuals, families, children, couples and groups. I utilize a person centered approach to deliver Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Family Systems Model, Play Therapy, Behavior Modification, Psychoeducation, Psychotherapy, Trauma Focused Therapy and Crisis Management. As your counselor, my role is to help you learn effective skills that build on your own strengths, define attainable and achievable goals and recognize options that are available to you. My goal is to serve you in a respectful, professional, honest and caring manner. I believe that health encompasses all facets of a person and for that reason I often work in collaboration with Susan D.E. Joachim, CDN, CDF, ACSM CPT. A Nutritionist, Wellness mentor and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Certified Personal Trainer. Susan has a passion for helping others. She believes that we can all live pain free, healthy lives through guided wellness and nutrigenomics management. Susan attained her Professional Fitness and Exercise Program with Honors and Nutrition, Diet and Health with Honors Diplomas from Ashworth College in Atlanta, Georgia. With non-judgmental, autonomous guidance and within the principles of confidentiality, Susan supports with empathy enabling realistic, sustainable attainment of your goals. Motto: Love yourself, what's inside matters too!
