Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Michelle Callahan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am sensitive to how difficult it can be to discuss personal information. Clients generally find that it is easy to build a rapport with me and that I value the client-therapist relationship. I take a client-centered approach and believe in unconditional positive regard, since each individual needs acceptance and support, while helping them to achieve self-acceptance and personal growth.

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.

Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy
Treatment Center, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP
We are a trauma therapy practice specializing in alternatives to traditional talk therapy for PTSD, grief/loss, and addiction. We offer various different treatments including EMDR, IFS, psychodrama, gestalt, expressive arts therapies, and more. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation and resilience. The phenomenon of growing after experiencing trauma has been labeled “Post-Traumatic Growth”. While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us.
We also offer low-cost options with our graduate interns.

Dr. Nnenna Nwankwo
Psychologist, PsyD
Over my 15+ years of clinical experience, I have come to appreciate therapy as an opportunity to go within and connect to what matters most, emerging at the end of that journey with self compassion, increased self awareness and self concept, as well as clarity for moving forward. My clinical approach is integrative and grounded in existential-humanistic psychology which is a style that helps one explore how to live authentically, creating meaning from life's challenges and chaos. My specialities include high achieving BIPOC with intersecting identities, first and second generation immigrants, and individuals navigating infertility and challenges with family building.

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.
