Kathy Snyder, LPC — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Kathy!

I help people who need support and guidance through life's challenges. I specialize in trauma-informed care, depression, anxiety, autism, PTSD, and addiction. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and aging adults. I believe in using approaches that best fit you and following your lead as to where you'd like your therapy to go.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, addiction, organizational problems, lack of motivation, and traumatic brain injuries. I'm comfortable supporting people who need help finding their footing again and building confidence in their daily lives.

My approach

I use CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, Seeking Safety, trauma-focused care, Solution-Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and I am currently state-certified in EMDR. I select approaches that match your needs and comfort level, helping you build skills and discover what works best for you.

My communication style

I'm empathetic and a good listener. I build rapport by meeting you where you are and working at your level. My goal is to make therapy as comfortable as possible so you feel heard and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been a people person. I decided to become a therapist after seeing close friends and family struggle to find someone who truly listens and uses approaches they're comfortable with. I have a passion for helping people rediscover themselves and grow.

My goals for you

I listen to you and let you decide what you'd like to work on and which approach best fits your needs. Therapy is guided by your goals and what matters most to you.

Our first session

I like to start by building rapport and helping you get comfortable with therapy and with me. We'll talk about your needs and what your end goal would be, so we can create a plan that feels right for you.
