About
As a provider, I understand that there are myths surrounding mental health, and it is my goal to help break the stigma and create a culture that encourages people of any age to seek support when they need it.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and related mental health concerns, supporting individuals through some of the most challenging moments of their lives with empathy and clinical expertise.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Purdue University. My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and focuses on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify underlying concerns, build effective coping strategies, and make meaningful progress toward improved mental health. I am committed to creating a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard and empowered, and I encourage you to take the next step by scheduling an appointment today.

Dr. Alberto Figueroa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, CFT) and a Certified Family Therapist with more than 17 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. He specializes in treating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, couples issues, family conflict, and more.
He earned his Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and went on to earn a Doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Northcentral University. Additionally, he studied structural family therapy to understand people's interconnectedness. He uses a combined approach to counseling that maintains one theoretical perspective as its foundation (Adlerian psychodynamic therapy) and applies interventions from other theories to individualize treatment.
Dr. Al believes therapy helps individuals become aware of the obstacles that hinder their goals. Armed with awareness, persons can examine behavior patterns, discover alternative possibilities, implement change, and learn to accept their reality. However, therapy works best when clients and counselors work collaboratively to achieve the desired objectives.
Dr. Al has helped many persons overcome life challenges and learn to live fulfilling lives by developing a caring relationship and using multiple counseling interventions. He looks forward to developing therapeutic relationships that empower individuals to become their best selves and enhance the quality of their lives.

My go-to approach for helping people with grief is grief counseling. I find this to be of benefit because it helps people accept and process their loss while learning to adjust to a world without their loved one and embark on a new life.
I teach the following tools in grief and loss counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss counseling when they are able to experience joyful memories without overwhelming emotional distress and reinvest in life.
Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling with journaling, writing a goodbye letter, and completing a closure ceremony either by themselves or with other loved ones.
To prepare for their first grief and loss counseling session, an individual can reflect upon their memories of their loved one and identify any fears and obstacles that may hinder their ability to reinvest in life.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Wyomissing, PA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Wyomissing, PA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
There are many stages to grief such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (not necessarily in that order). Whether it be from a loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a home, or a change in your life, it is natural and healthy to go through all or some of the stages of grief and loss.
You don’t have to suffer in pain any longer. Grief counselors at Thriveworks Reading can help you through the difficult process of grief and loss. You don’t have to go through the process alone.
Our grief and loss counselors at Thriveworks-Wyomissing have experience with a wide range of reactions to loss and understand the stages of grief. Whether it be the loss of a parent, spouse, child, sibling, friend, or even a pet, Thriveworks-Wyomissing can help you throughout the difficult journey of recovery.
