WELCOME TO
Gentle Growth Therapy.
Gentle Growth Therapy is a woman-owned, solo practice in Pennsylvania dedicated to offering trauma-informed care with a compassionate, personalized touch. I create a safe and supportive space where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Using evidence-based techniques, I guide individuals through healing, helping them build resilience and regain control of their lives. At the core of my practice is a commitment to empowering each client on their unique journey toward growth and recovery.
My Approach
In my approach to trauma therapy, creating a foundation of safety is paramount. I believe that healing begins when clients feel secure, both in their environment and within the therapeutic relationship. With patience, I support clients in exploring their experiences at a pace that feels right for them, never rushing the process. I bring genuine curiosity and warmth to each session, allowing clients to feel truly seen and understood. This combination of safety, patience, and compassionate presence helps foster trust and enables deeper healing and growth over time.

FAQs
-
I will respond to your inquiry within 48 hours. If you contacted me over a holiday weekend, I will respond to you within 48 hours of returning to the office. I will thank you for reaching out and offer to schedule a consultation over the phone within a week before scheduling sessions.
-
I schedule phone consultations with potential clients to have a better understanding of what is bringing them to therapy and to determine if outpatient therapy is the appropriate level of care.
-
My phone consultations are 15 minutes long and include some questions, discussing rates, and scheduling. When I schedule phone consultations, I expect my potential client to call me like I would expect a client to arrive to our sessions.
I will invite potential clients to tell me more about what is bringing them to therapy as well as any previous therapy experiences. I will also share information like my rates and office location, and collaborate with potential clients on how frequently they want to meet and schedule.
-
After a phone consultation, I schedule potential clients in advance for six sessions. I find this amount of time allows both myself and my client to asses how good of a āfitā we are and establish foundational relationship before diving into any work.
I typically use a questionnaire outline I call my āpsychosocialā to better know my client, but I will follow my clientās focus instead if something important is coming up for them. I also spend the last two of these six sessions orienting to therapy and collaborating on therapy goals.
-
Orienting to therapy is a series of reflective questions I ask clients to learn about potential expectations and obstacles in counseling. Like, for example, āwhat do you consider the role of a client in therapy?ā Or āShould therapists tell clients what they ought to do or should therapists guide clients to make their own judgments?ā The goal of orienting to therapy is for the client and therapist to be on the same page as they begin in their work together.
