Meet Siobhan Strickhart, MA, LPC, NCC
A place where you don’t have to hold everything together.
Trauma-informed therapy offering virtual therapy for adults in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
I help adults navigate anxiety, childhood emotional neglect, people-pleasing, and painful relationship patterns. Together, we’ll explore what keeps you stuck and work toward greater self-trust, clearer boundaries, and more connection.
You may see yourself here
You keep the peace at your own expense.
You take care of everyone else, even when it means putting your own needs aside.
You understand your patterns but still feel stuck.
You’ve done the self-reflection, but knowing why something happens hasn’t made it easy to change.
You feel guilty putting yourself first.
You worry about disappointing others, second-guess your decisions, or struggle to say no.
What it’s like to work with me
Come as you are.
You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan. You can arrive feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to feel different. We’ll begin with what matters to you, and you won’t be expected to share your whole story at once.
We’ll work together.
My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns, and offer practical tools you can use outside our sessions. There’s room for both understanding your experiences and practicing something different.
Your feedback matters.
You can tell me when something doesn’t fit, when you need to slow down, or when you’re unsure about our direction. We’ll check in about what’s helping and adjust our work together.
Therapy that connects insight with change
Sometimes you understand your reactions logically and still feel overwhelmed, guilty, or stuck. Our work makes space for both the experiences that shaped you and the challenges you’re facing now.
I draw from EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and DBT-informed skills, tailoring our work to your needs and goals.
EMDR therapy
When appropriate, we can use EMDR to work with distressing memories and beliefs that continue to affect the present. We’ll begin with preparation and support, moving at a pace that respects your readiness.
Attachment-focused therapy
We’ll explore how earlier relationships may influence the way you respond to closeness, conflict, and your own needs. Together, we can work on boundaries, self-trust, and more secure ways of relating.
DBT-informed skills
We can build practical tools for managing strong emotions, navigating distress, communicating your needs, and responding more intentionally.
A Little More About Me
I’m drawn to helping people who have spent years adapting to others while losing touch with their own needs. My work centers on creating room for those needs—and helping you explore patterns that may once have protected you but now leave you feeling stuck.
Before opening my private practice, I worked in Princeton University’s Office of Disability Services and as a psychotherapist at the Princeton Center for DBT. These experiences shaped my appreciation for both understanding a person’s story and offering practical support.
Today, I bring that perspective to my work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and difficult family or relationship dynamics.
