Relationship and Marriage Counseling therapists in Oreland, Pennsylvania PA

I am a clinical psychologist who is compassionate and dynamic with over 17 years in practice. I integrate philosophies from the medical, psychological and self-help communities in order to treat the whole person. Also, I am a positive person who focuses on my clients strengths to help them heal.  

Most of the couples I work with have been in couples therapy before - sometimes more than once. Couples tell me they felt as though their previous therapist took sides or that they were allowed to argue for the entire session and that by the end of the session they felt farther apart than when they started. For couples therapy to work both people need to know that they will be heard and understood and that the couples therapist will interrupt hurtful and unproductive patterns. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy which is a highly effective approach to helping couples to repair longstanding patterns of endless conflict, hurt and resentment, and painful disconnection. I work with straight, same-sex, and genderqueer couples as well as with friends and siblings. k  

Pamela and Varun both have a history of providing marriage and family counseling in various settings.

Dr. Nevo approaches relationship counseling using the Object Relations Model. This approach perspective looks at how each individual develops in relation to others in the environment during childhood, and how later and present experiences can reshape early patterns of interaction. There is a strong emphasis on interpersonal relationships within the family, and with significant others. Treatment of relationship issues is available and effective at all levels, from minor to critical. Regardless of the issue, help is available and problems can be turned around.  

I work with individuals to improve their relationships in all areas of life (eg, family, friends, work, etc), and with couples at any stage of a relationship dealing with challenging dynamics or life transitions, stressors or betrayals, etc. I utilize relationship and couples therapy approaches that are demonstrated to help to shift negative cycles, improve communication, resolve conflicts, increase positive cycles, and heal from hurts, betrayals, and losses in order to feel more connected, supported, fulfilled, loving and intimate.  

I see entering therapy as sacred work. I view relationships as our biggest vehicles of growth in life and believe every relationship has something that can be learned from it to help us embrace more of who we really are. I specialize in individual, couple and sex therapy, as well as trauma.  

I am a holistic psychologist with over 30 yrs experience working with individuals, couples and business people. I am a therapist and coach who both listens deeply and provides specific tools to help you solve your problems, create better relationships and improve your life or business.  

Relationships are multi-faceted and there is a ton of pressure to do relationships "right". Well, that's just too much to ask for. We help our clients better understand their own identity within the relationship while also allowing their partner to have a complete identity of their own, then working to understand how those two individuals partner together beautifully.  

Relationships can feel so complicated. One minute you feel connected and hopeful, another minute you wonder if you will ever be close to your partner. I understand the emotional ups-and-downs of relationships, and I can help you find more emotional balance. I can help you get clarity on your desires that are often overshadowed by fear. Together, we will make new meaning of old pain so that you will experience deeper intimacy and more satisfying connections.
