Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As an experienced psychologist with over 20 years of experience, it is my honor to assist you in working towards your journey to psychological wellness. At the heart of my practice is a dedication to helping others to heal, grow and empower you to find hope from the most difficult experiences. Great emphasis is placed on building a trustworthy relationship and providing compassionate care so individuals can access their inner wisdom, change ineffective thoughts and behaviors, process emotions, problem-solve challenging situations, and learn tools to help you cope. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often utilized, strategies are tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and desires. Focus is placed on the whole individual (mind, body, emotional and spiritual/faith for those who desire). I look forward to providing guidance and support every step of the way on your journey to wellness so you can learn action-oriented tools to help you and/or your family create effective change and become the best version you are meant to be. Please call via telephone for a free consultation today to see if we would work well together and if I can meet your needs.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change. See why men across PA, NJ, and DE choose Proven Path Counseling.

Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC, LCMHC
I approach therapy as a process of meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term symptom relief. My work integrates psychodynamic, experiential, and evidence-based approaches, allowing me to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each person I work with. I focus on helping clients understand and shift the deeper patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others.
My approach emphasizes presence, emotional awareness, and attunement, with attention to core areas such as attachment, separation, identity, agency, and intimate relationships. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work collaboratively to build a structure for growth that is both thoughtful and practical, supporting real movement forward.
I am committed to helping clients develop greater clarity, stability, and internal capacity so that change is not only understood, but experienced and sustained over time.
