Find a Therapist in Penndel, PA

You're probably feeling anxious about reaching out to a therapist. That's totally normal. You're probably also feeling stuck with your problems, and you know you can't figure things out alone. Maybe you've had therapy before, and it sort of helped, but not enough, so you're naturally unsure about trying again. Maybe you've even tried talking to AI because it's so much less scary than opening up to a real person. But you know deep down that a relationship with an actual human being is part of what makes therapy work. I can understand all of your reservations, and I'd really like to work with you to help you achieve the change you want to see in your life. I've been a therapist for 22 years, first in London, UK, where I'm from, and now in New York City. When I first started working as a therapist, I was frustrated that therapeutic results could be inconsistent, and I searched for a method that would help me be more helpful to more people. When I discovered intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), an intensive, evidence-based approach that I mainly work with, it changed my life. I could see the positive results it had in my own life and in the lives of my patients. Now I had the tools to help more people achieve real and lasting change. I'd love to meet with you for an initial session, kind of a trial therapy, in which we can get a good sense of how we might work together to resolve your issues and free your potential. Please reach out if you'd like to know more.

My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

I approach therapy in an inclusive, flexible, and respectful way. It’s your therapy. I’m a guide who helps you apply your strengths to your healing process or to solve a problem. I want to have power WITH you, not over you. I offer a range of therapy options. Your experience of therapy matters to me, too, so I periodically check in with you about how therapy is going and whether you’re getting your needs met. I also aim to empower you with information you need along the way, providing psychoeducation, for example, on the neuroscience of trauma, how trauma affects the brain and body. Although I assist with a range of issues, I specialize in trauma work. Helping others recover from trauma is my passion, as I have personally experienced transformation in my own trauma journey.

You can name the pattern, predict it, and dread it, yet knowing it isn’t changing things. You’re not short on insight or effort. You’ve likely reached your limit or hit a breaking point. What you’re missing is somewhere to take it, with someone trained to help. We’ll map out the pattern, explore where it started, and practice implementing something different, so the tools and strategies create lasting change. I work with individuals and couples on relationships and communication, life transitions, stress and anxiety, intimacy and desire, infidelity, and more. Sessions are purposeful and intentional, and we build a concrete plan of action. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the founder of Candid Therapy and Counseling, based in Old City Philadelphia and Newtown, Bucks County (est. 2023). I offer individual, couples, family and sex therapy to clients across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in person at either office or by secure video. I hold three master’s degrees: two in counseling and one in business. The counseling degrees shape how I listen, while the business degree shapes how clearly we plan. I’m direct, playful, and challenging. I value your time, so sessions stay productive, efficient, and supportive. Nothing is off the table to talk about, including trauma, sex, and intimacy. I will support you as you deepen your self-awareness, enrich your relationships, and keep growing. Therapy is an investment in the work, not in proving anything about your worth. I will create a safe space for you to be vulnerable, or to learn how to be.

Deidre Campen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota. Deidre has extensive experience working with adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), women’s issues, depression, grief, anxiety, and life transitions.

I believe therapy should empower individuals to help them take control and enhance their lives into happy, healthy and successful ones. However, each person has individual struggles and challenges so what this looks like varies from person to person. Providing a collaborative, holistic approach to the treatment for me includes an examination of many different life factors that contribute to emotional well-being. I have a strong cognitive behavioral background. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on the idea that making changes in ones thoughts and behaviors can positively affect how you feel. This treatment modality has been shown to be very effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression among other emotional difficulties. Within this framework I may also include work in mindfulness, exposure, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, play therapy, and other possible techniques. If you would like to positively change your life I love to help.

You may be holding everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. Or maybe you look like you have everything together on the outside while inside you're feeling uncertain, disconnected, anxious, emotionally drained, or caught in a cycle. You don't have to wait until things become unbearable to ask for help. I provide compassionate, practical therapy for those navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and life's challenges. I work collaboratively with each client to understand their individual experiences and goals. I want to support you as you navigate the current problem, and together we'll also work toward greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthier patterns of thinking, and practical skills you can continue using long after our sessions end. I also provide diagnostic evaluations for attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and learning disabilities. Feel free to send me an email to share a little about what you're experiencing and what you're hoping to work on.

My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I want to help you to be the best version of yourself and a storyteller. I believe we all have the ability to heal, grow, and build resilience. Speaking from experience, I know that asking for help can be daunting, and sometimes scary, but we all deserve to be heard. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe space for you to be vulnerable and work through challenges to enjoy the space between where you are and where you envision, with a little spice of humor in there, too!

Welcome. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Together, we'll work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you move toward a more fulfilling life. My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual's unique needs. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, relational, and other evidence-based approaches, I adapt therapy to fit your goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
