Trauma Therapy in NJ & PA
Healing from trauma, attachment wounds, and emotional neglect.
Find relief from the weight of the past, feel grounded in your body, and rebuild connections with yourself and others.
You’re great at figuring things out.
At work, in your creative projects, even in everyday life—you know how to find the best system, the most effective path forward. And when you set your mind to something, you usually excel.
But when it comes to emotions, it feels different. You keep running into the same walls.
These patterns don’t shift just by thinking harder.
You don’t need a therapist who simply nods along.
You need someone who can keep pace with you—who can help you see what’s underneath the struggle and move with you toward lasting change.
These patterns didn’t come from nowhere.
They were shaped by who you had to be, what you had to hide, and how you learned to take up just enough space to feel allowed in.
Hi, I’m Siobhan Strickhart, LPC
I know how much courage it takes to even consider therapy. You may have spent years holding everything together, staying strong for others, or pretending everything was fine. Reaching out for help can feel risky, especially if you’ve been let down before.
That’s why I approach therapy with both compassion and directness. I’ll never just sit back and nod while you do all the heavy lifting. Together, we’ll slow down, name the patterns you’ve carried, and begin to make sense of what has felt overwhelming or confusing for so long.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adults who want to heal from:
Childhood emotional neglect
Attachment wounds and emotionally immature parents
Anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing patterns
With training in Attachment-Focused EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I’ll help you move beyond just coping to experience real and lasting change.
If You’re Here, You’re Ready for Change
The fact that you’re reading this means something inside you is ready. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. Growth begins the moment you step out of your comfort zone—and into a space built for your healing.
