Rekindle your relationships - Rediscover your peace - Reclaim your life

Individual and Family Counseling is provided by Kathleen Oravec, an experienced Marriage & Family Therapist. She helps couples, families and individuals with their relationship and psychological issues.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by changes in your professional life, relationships, or your own sense of self, I am here to help you shift your perspective and approach so that you can feel confident, empowered, and take action.

Together, we’ll discover what is holding you back, get clear on what you truly want, and map out a strategic plan to get you the results you desire.

Are you and your partner having trouble communicating without dissolving into conflict that seems to never get resolved? Are you tired of feeling anxious and walking on eggshells? Do you have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your needs met? Do you often end up in the same relationship rut without being able to find a way out of an unsatisfying cycle of blame and regret? Is the trust between you eroding? Are you using your cell phones more than you are talking and listening to each other? Are you a couple in a crisis and don’t know where to turn?

I help couples and individuals resolve communication issues impacting family and professional relationships. I support you while respecting your family and spiritual values.

Perhaps you need an effective way to get your needs met in your relationships or learn how to be more assertive in your workplace. Or, you’re a parent trying to understand how to relate to your adolescent? I also aide with adolescent challenges, including self esteem, academic pressures, bullying, and social anxiety.

I do more than just listen and say “Uh .huh”. My approach is straightforward…

I guide you to find the answers and chart a new course, while figuring out who you are and what you want out of life. I can offer strategies and coping skills that can help you figure out the life you really want to live while enhancing your relationship with yourself and others.

Kathleen has worked with me on issues great and small, offering advice when appropriate and allowing me to find my own way with her support, when that is most helpful for my personal growth. I'm very grateful to Kathleen also for allowing me to bring my very well-behaved four-legged companion to our meetings.

I have worked with Kathleen for many years. She has been the consummate professional and is extremely empathetic.

I was able to get the help I needed to work through a difficult time in my life.

We had a wonderful experience with Kathleen. When my husband and I first went to see her, we were in a bad place and didn't know where to turn. With Kathleen's help we have learned how to communicate better, how to deal with difficult family members, how to be better parents, and we fell back in love again. Something we didn't know was possible! We are so grateful to have had Kathleen's help and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

I'd never gone to see a therapist in my life until now , but it turned out to be quite a good experience. The therapist knows how to pin point the bad and good in your issues, and provides great ideas and knowledge. If you have not tried seeing a therapist and have thought about it then start here.

Since I have started working with Kathleen, my ability to cope with my anxiousness and mental stress has improved tremendously. She is very easy to talk to and listens intently to concerns. I have benefited from the comfortable environment that she provides for her clients and I am so happy that I have found someone who provides such a positive environment and enables me to maintain a lifestyle with less stress.

Using my longtime skills as a Psychotherapist, Counselor and Life Coach

I offer online psychotherapy for California and Pennsylvania residents and online coaching to people all over the U.S. and internationally, to help you live a more integrated, whole and authentic life—and feel more joyful, happy and peaceful.

Do you feel anxious and stressed? Do you get triggered by people or things that never used to bother you?

Are you a victim of sexual assault or harassment that has re-surfaced since the #metoo movement?

Do you suffer from depression, finding it hard to focus with all the distracting thoughts and worries in your mind? Are you feeling foggy and uncertain?

Does it seem like you have veered off-course from your life’s purpose?

Do you feel disconnected from your body? Are you gaining or losing weight?

Has an illness, a major life transition (such as divorce, job loss, death of a loved one) left you feeling hopeless or grieving from your loss?

At Soul Wisdom Therapy, I can help you learn to rely on your inner compass (your “soul wisdom”) to handle challenging emotions or situations as they arise.

And when you learn how to recognize and listen to your soul wisdom:

You wake up feeling well rested, energized and excited about the day.

You move from experiencing depression and hopelessness to allowing yourself to focus on self-care and pleasure.

You make the choice to stay present in the moment—mindful and aware—rather than numb yourself to unpleasant emotions with food, alcohol, drugs, TV or the internet.

You move through difficult emotions quickly and you feel peaceful, calm and at ease… everywhere.

You communicate effectively with your family, coworkers or spouse. You shift old habits and patterns allowing you to transform your relationships.

You remain in charge of your peace of mind, even as you navigate illness, change or loss.

I am a longterm and very experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for Pennsylvania residents and certified Life Coach, dedicated to working with you on every level: mind, body and spirit.

My mindfulness-based approach quickly opens you to become more aware in each moment—helping you unearth the core issues or wounds that are contributing to your current challenges.

Therapy and coaching with me will help you get unstuck, love and trust yourself and others more fully and live with greater self-compassion, self-awareness, and, most importantly, self-love.

Almost everyone experiences some anxiety in their lives. But chronic or intense anxiety, phobias or panic attacks can leave you feeling trapped by your fears or concerns. With my therapeutic help, you will escape negative thought patterns, take control of your fears and feel calm and comfortable in your life.

Has chronic pain or chronic/life-threatening illness left you feeling helpless, overwhelmed or confused? With my guidance as your chronic illness and/or chronic pain treatment therapist, you will learn to better manage your condition, cope with or reduce difficult symptoms and find the relief you are seeking.

Are you out of alignment, unhappy or unfulfilled in your personal or professional life? Utilizing my hands on support and guidance as a life coach, I can help you learn to hold yourself accountable, overcome your challenges and create the life you want.

Have challenges in your relationship left you feeling misunderstood or uncertain about your future together? Are you worried about increasing tension or distance between you and your spouse? Or maybe you will be getting married and would like pre-marital counseling before you say “I do.” Couples therapy with me will help you and your partner discover where your negative, harmful patterns come from, why dysfunctional patterns show up in your relationship and how to work through them.

Diagnosing an eating disorder is often complicated. Even within a diagnosis – Anorexia or Bulimia, for example – the cause, symptoms and solution are rarely cut and dry. Eating disorder treatment with me can help you break free from patterns of unhealthy eating, overcome your anxiety around food and begin to feel comfortable in your body and with yourself.
