We offer one-on-one counseling that is tailored around your specific problems. This can includes solution-oriented therapy that can help you problem-solve challenging situations, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that clarifies the impact that thoughts have on your emotions/behaviors, or exploratory psychodynamic techniques to identify the origin of your concerns. No matter what style of therapy we use, our goal remains the same--to help you achieve meaningful outcomes. Whether it's feeling less depressed, developing healthier social interactions, or leaning away from compulsive tendencies like drinking, we're here to help.
One limitation of individual therapy is that clinicians only hear one side of the story. Couples therapy explores how partners' beliefs, values, and interactions can affect the relationship's wellbeing. Therapists address conflict by working on communication skills, negotiating differences in points-of-view, problem-solving challenging situations, and even learning how to argue in a healthier way. Our role at Bucks County Psychological is to provide a safe space to discuss hard topics, to educate partners on healthier ways to interact, and sometimes to referee when necessary.
Family therapy is designed to nurture change and recalibrate unhealthy patterns of interaction. This is accomplished by exploring ideas like power, control, personal values, and communication, which may differ between family members. Resolving those differences is how we build a bridge of trust between family members no matter what the configuration, and help them to move forward--together.

CBT suggests that thinking colors our emotions and influences our behavior. As a result, when our thoughts become distorted, pessimistic, or self-defeating we tend to experience problematic emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety) and behaviors (e.g., isolating, arguing). A major focus of CBT is to help people identify unproductive patterns of thinking/acting, evaluate healthier alternatives, and implement these new ways of functioning moving forward.

Psychodynamic therapy assists people's exploration of how their past experience has influenced their present behavior. It focuses on the psychological “roots” of our emotional concerns by examining unresolved conflicts or problematic relationships. It can be an open-ended process where a person has the freedom and safety to better understand complicated experiences from earlier on in their lives while helping them to develop the internal resources to effectively manage those feelings.
