MEET siobhan strickhart, lpc | THERAPIST IN new jersey & Pennsylvania
Real talk. Real self-discovery. Real growth.
Science-backed therapy that’s grounded, direct, and deeply human.
It’s time to reclaim who you’ve always been (or become who you’ve always wanted to be).
Life shapes us in ways we don’t always expect—through experiences, relationships, or the pressures we carry with us. And sometimes, even after doing our best to cope on our own, we realize that support could make all the difference.
I’m here to help you connect with who you are at your core and tap into your own strength.
Your lived experience—who you are, where you come from, and how the world has shaped you—matters deeply. You’ve been moving through life, learning and adapting in ways that have helped you survive, even if you don’t always recognize it. Now it’s time to nurture yourself so you can move forward knowing not only who you are, but exactly what you need.
GET TO KNOW ME
I have expertise, but you’re always going to be the expert of “you.”
Becoming a therapist was a natural path that always felt right. I am naturally drawn to connecting with people, hearing their stories, and being a safe place for support. Over time, it became clear this is what I’m meant to do—driven by my desire to offer more than just support. I consider it a gift and a privilege to work with people and witness their growth.
My approach is relational and humanistic, meaning we’ll grow, reflect, and learn together in real-time. I bring research, psychoeducation, and somatic tools into our work, but the foundation is always connection. I check in regularly because your perspective matters to me—I want to understand what’s working and what’s not, both from your experience and my clinical assessment. In our sessions, I keep things moving by balancing support with directness, without pushing you anywhere you’re not ready to go.
I show up to every session as my full, human self—you don’t have to perform for me, and I won’t for you.
Sometimes we’ll sit in the heavy, hard stuff, and other times, we’ll keep it light (because laughter can be just as healing as insight). Ultimately, I’m committed to being here for you and providing exactly what you need—fully present, tuned in, and ready to meet you where you are.
What You Can Expect in Therapy
Therapy with me isn’t about rushing through your story or forcing change before you’re ready. It’s about creating a safe, supportive space where you can finally slow down and be fully seen.
Together, we’ll work to:
Develop emotional safety and self-compassion so you can soothe painful feelings instead of battling against them.
Learn grounding and regulation tools to manage overwhelming emotions in ways that feel steady and sustainable.
Build healthier relationships by practicing boundaries, communication, and trust.
Reconnect with your authentic self—the part of you that’s always been there beneath the roles of fixer, achiever, or caretaker.
I’ve Been Where You Are
I know how hard it can be to carry the weight of unspoken pain while still showing up every day for everyone else. To look “fine” on the outside while inside you feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure if things will ever really change.
Maybe you’ve wondered:
Why do I keep falling into the same patterns, no matter how hard I try?
Why do I feel so alone, even in relationships?
Why can’t I just move on from the past?
You’re not broken, and you’re not alone. These feelings are a normal response to experiences you were never meant to carry by yourself. Healing doesn’t mean erasing your story—it means learning to hold it differently, with more compassion, safety, and freedom.
Therapy can be the place where you stop surviving and start truly living.
