Welcome Welcome to the website for The Art of Communicating and Teresa A. Glatthorn, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist. There is a good deal of information on this website and I welcome you to take your time and browse at your leisure today. I also invite you to revisit it in the future to find up-to-date information regarding the practice, training, presentations and publications. Services through The Art of Communicating include psychotherapy or counseling; training and supervision in play therapy and other creative techniques in psychotherapy; training in alternative healing modalities compatible with counseling and psychotherapy; opportunities for personal, life and spiritual journeying and community presentations. (More) New Location The office has recently moved to a delightful, expanded space in downtown Hatboro, PA. The office includes a large, expanded play therapy room with sand tray miniatures and an enticing array of play therapy materials, a waiting room/group room, and an adult therapy office in a warm, comfortable, and private facility with abundant natural light. Services are provided by appointment only and can be scheduled in day or evening hours or on Saturday mornings, for your convenience. Psychotherapy Clients People who come for assistance include children, adolescents, and adults. Clients are seen in individual, family or group counseling/psychotherapy based on need and preference. Clients come from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and situations to address a range of needs. Approach to Therapy I use an intuitively informed integrative approach to therapy in which the client takes the lead in determining the nature of the exploration and the direction of the work. I act as a guide and resource to help the client access and trust his or her own inner healing guide to find insights and answers. I also help clients develop the life skills and personal strengths they need to accomplish their goals. Benefits of Therapy How people benefit from therapy depends on the reasons they initially seek therapy. However, generally, a client can expect to know herself better, feel more confident and be more appreciative of him/herself. At the end of therapy, a client can expect to feel more stability in, understanding of and control over emotions such as sadness, anxiety, anger, grief, and worry. He/she is likely to be more able to achieve personal and relational goals; to problem-solve in difficult situations; to feel more satisfied with his/her life and relationships; to be less influenced by past traumas and/or struggles; to know his/her opinions and voice them; and to grow during life transitions and challenges. Children and adolescents will also behave in more age-appropriate and adaptive ways and will resume making good progress on their own developmental path(s). Training and Supervision I am probably most well known for my work as an expert in Play Therapy with children, adolescents and adults. I have provided training and/or supervision to hundreds of people across the United States as well as in Canada. My Play Therapy approach is intuitive and integrative, with a potential for being very spiritual for those who are comfortable with spirituality, without offending those who are not. My trainings emphasize and teach basic play therapy skills that empower professionals, both very experienced counselors and those fairly new to the field, to translate their own preferred modality(s) of therapy to play therapy. Free Consultation There is no charge for a consultation by telephone or email about whether we would work well together.
