I’m so glad

you’re here.

My name is Carly Geis, and I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges and find strength within yourself. Whether you're facing individual struggles, relationship issues, or family conflicts, I provide compassionate and effective therapy services through both in-person and telehealth options.

Together, we'll work towards your goals and explore the resilience within you. No matter where you are in the state of Pennsylvania, you can access the support you need for a brighter future.

Therapeutic appRoach

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. My therapeutic approach offers compassionate challenge, steady support, and collaborative guidance to help you grow in the ways that feel most meaningful and true to you.

Person-Centered

Our therapy sessions will focus on personal growth and psychological wellness, emphasizing each client’s capacity for self-understanding and healing within a warm, compassionate therapeutic environment.

Collaborative

Research shows the main factor for success in therapy is a strong, respectful, and collaborative relationship between client and clinician, built on trust, clear communication, and mutual commitment to the work.

Evidenced-Based

I use evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR, integrated with my clinical experience and each client’s individual values and goals, so that treatment is both effective and personally meaningful.

“There are cracks in everything,

that’s how the light gets in.”

Spiritual Direction

I hold a Master of Divinity (MDiv) and can gently explore faith or spiritual experience if you wish. I’ve supported people through religious trauma, “church hurt,” and doubts after grief and loss. Though my training is primarily Christian-based, I’ve worked with clients of many beliefs — Jewish, Unitarian Universalist, atheist, agnostic, Buddhist, spiritual-but-not-religious, and more. Using faith in therapy is always your choice; I won’t push beliefs and will treat your spirituality with respect and curiosity as a potential source of healing.
