About Me ...
My name is Cicely (pronounced just like the actress or like the island off Italy’s mainland). I am originally from Berks County, PA and have lived here my entire life, with dreams and plans to relocate but life (and possibly fate) has kept me where I am. I have lived experiences in various social and cultural margins: Female, Multiracial, African American, Native American and low-income home in an affluent area.
Currently, I live locally with my three children, and husband. I have mastered the art of co-parenting with my ex-husband. I use my life experience paired with my education to create a supportive counseling atmosphere where the goal is to ensure that my clients feel heard and seen! Humor and safety are important components of my life and therefore are integral components of my treatment.
As for some clinical jargon: I am a narrative therapist by nature and conceptualize through that lens. I use motivational interviewing, solution focused, REBT and DBT methods and interventions. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I offer a 15-minute free consultation prior to booking. I meet with clients in-person in Wyomissing, PA and virtually (day and evening appointments available).
