Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania therapist: CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY

Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life? I get it—I’ve been there. If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there. My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.

Narberth, Pennsylvania therapist: Michelle Bloom, PsyD, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Michelle Bloom, PsyD

Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing. I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others. As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Brooklyn, New York therapist: Resouling Therapy, licensed mental health counselor
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Resouling Therapy

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I (Mike) help clients put words to their inner experiences in ways that allow them to connect more deeply with themselves, leading to greater healing and freedom. Many clients share their surprise at how accurately I reflect what they are trying to express, and they often describe feeling seen and understood in our sessions. I work primarily with men, helping them identify and make sense of their emotions so they can express themselves more fully and experience more satisfying relationships. The therapists on our team work from this same foundation. Through close, ongoing supervision, I emphasize attunement, emotional accuracy, and a steady, non-judgmental presence, so clients can expect thoughtful, relational therapy that values understanding before problem-solving.

You DESERVE to be your best and full self and I believe I can help bring that to your life. Reach out and we can chat about your concerns and get started!

After teaching in the classroom for several years, I completed my graduate degree programming in both Clinical & Counseling Psychology in 2005 (graduating in 2006), with a special concentration in Addictions Counseling. I went on to obtain additional, advanced degrees and training in Education, Special Services, Behavior Analysis (Behavioral Health, Acceptance and Commitment Training, Addiction, Applied Animal Behavior, Autism, Behavior Analysis and Technology, Behavior Analysis and the Arts, Behavior Analysis for Sustainable Societies, Behavior Analysis in Health, Sports, and Fitness, Behavior Analysis in Military and Veterans' Issues, Behavioral Development, Behavioral Gerontology, Behavioral Medicine, Behavioral Approaches for Social Responsibility, Clinical Applications, Trauma, Crime, Delinquency, and Forensic Behavior Analysis, Culture and Diversity, Dissemination of Behavior Analysis, Ethics and Behavior Analysis, Experimental Analysis of Human Behavior, Gambling, History of Behavior Analysis, Mental Health, Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention, Neuroscience, Open Educational Resources, Organizational Behavior Management / Industrial Psychology, Pediatric Feeding Disorders, Positive Behavior Supports, including School-Wide Positive Behavioral Supports, Functional Analysis and Functional Behavioral Assessment, Verbal Behavior, Practitioner Issues in Behavior Analysis, Rehabilitation and Independent Living, Sexual Behavior: Research and Practice, Speech Pathology (Techniques and Approaches when working with analysts and clinicians in co-treat models), The Standard Celeration Society, Teaching Behavior Analysis, Supervision, Theoretical, Philosophical, and Conceptual Issues, and the list goes on. I have also completed advanced Practitioner training in a number of alternative medicine/ healing modalities. I have worked with clients at all stages of life, both internationally, and nationally, across the continuum of traditionally defined mental-behavioral health care & educational settings (including higher education), as well as other settings (community based, center-based, prisons, juvenile detention centers, homes, courts, etc.). At the present time, I am accepting clients on a case-by-case basis at my local, part-time, private practice in my home office only. My concentration and focus has shifted considerably in terms of the scope of services I am currently providing, privately. If you are looking for other services, in the public sectors, I would continue to recommend you search / use alternate designated contacts via the certification, licensing boards, and other directories/ forums which include currently available providers and groups. I will continue to look forward to working with each and everyone of my clients on an individualized/ personalized basis. The focus of my private practice will continue to work together to integrate practices from a variety of professional discipline areas with which I worked for 20 + years, formally and professionally in the public and private sectors, in addition to the additional learning acquisition I was able to achieve through recent, personal relevatory experiences with the sincere goal of helping others lead a more balanced life.

Dr. Debra Laino Sexuaity and Relationship Consultation of Delaware, LLC

Therapist, DHS, M.S., M.ED, ASE
My practice is about the whole person. Holistic sex therapy is really understanding the biology, psychology, emotional, sexual, relational and social impacts on a person. Over 20 years of experience has lead me to explore many aspects of human beings and their sexual and relationship needs. Sex and Relationship therapy is a critical need to sustain a healthy relationship and a healthy sex life long term. I'm well known for getting straight to the point and take a solution focused and reality therapy approach to therapy.
