Our therapists offer premarital counseling in Media, PA

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience, I provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can uncover strengths, process emotions, and explore new possibilities. Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving us unsure or weighed down, and I understand how challenging these moments can be. My goal is to help clients find steadiness, confidence, and balance while walking alongside them with empathy and support as they navigate life’s personal and professional challenges.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and evidence-based practices. I am also committed to providing culturally responsive care tailored to each client’s needs.

Together, we will focus on shifting patterns that no longer serve you, fostering confidence, clarity, and growth. Whether facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I provide a supportive space to help you move forward. My goal is to empower you toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

Desiree earned her Master’s degree from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Fordham University-New York City.

Therapy outcome is very much the result of the unique rapport between client and therapist. To that end, Desiree is attentive, non-judgmental, person-centered, and culturally responsive in her approach. She is LGBTQIA+-affirming and uses an anti-oppressive lens in her practice. She looks forward to meeting with you for an appointment.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 5 years of experience. My training in systems theories helps me understand how individuals function within the greater systems around them. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship stress, attachment challenges, and major life transitions. I also enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, manage conflict, and rebuild trust.

I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from La Salle University. I use solution-focused and strength-based approaches, along with Gottman methods and psychoeducation, to meet clients where they are. My work combines talk therapy, written resources, social media clips, and interactive strategies to support meaningful growth and change.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is not to fix you but to walk alongside you as you explore new perspectives and tools for healing. If you’ve been wondering if therapy is right for you, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
