Cultivating a space for supportive and affirming conversations
Our conversations will serve as an opportunity to explore your story with understanding and care.
Welcome To The Intentional Conversation
At The Intentional Conversation, we believe in the power of meaningful and purposeful communication to foster healing, growth, and positive change. Our practice is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space where clients can engage in intentional conversations.
Our Approach:
We prioritize the importance of conversations at every stage of the counseling journey - before, during, and after sessions. Beginning with a thoughtful exploration of your needs, goals, and aspirations, we work collaboratively to tailor a personalized counseling plan that aligns with your unique experiences and challenges.
We invite you to embark on your counseling journey with The Intentional Conversation.
The Intentional Conversation Process
Before Counseling:
We understand that taking the first step toward counseling can be daunting. Our compassionate team is here to listen and address any concerns you may have before you begin your journey. We encourage open dialogues, facilitating a space where you can express your hopes and fears. This open dialogue lays a strong foundation for a productive and nurturing counseling experience.
During Counseling:
In your counseling sessions, we provide you with a welcoming and accepting atmosphere for you to openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences without judgment. We believe that authentic and intentional conversations can uncover deep insights. Our highly skilled therapists utilize evidence-based techniques to guide you through the process, encouraging self-advocacy and autonomy, as you collaborate to overcome challenges.
After Counseling:
Once you and your therapist feel you’ve met your goal(s), we provide tools and resources to help you maintain progress and navigate life's ups and downs with resilience and confidence.
Mission Statement
The Intentional Conversation offers affirming, psychologically safe, and trauma-informed counseling services specializing in helping clients navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, major life transitions, and their racial/cultural/gender identities in Pennsylvania. We increase access to trauma-informed care, and culturally sensitive, evidence-based mental healthcare to empower clients to live authentically.
Vision Statement
The Intentional Conversation envisions a future where everyone can access mental health care that affirms their identity and facilitates healing. We see a Pennsylvania where trauma-informed care and culturally sensitive counseling is highly accessible through telehealth and destigmatized, not just for individuals, but for entire communities.
Anti-Racist and LGBTQ Affirmative Statement
The Intentional Conversation strives to be an anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirmative telehealth practice. We believe that racial justice, LGBTQIA+ equality, and inclusion are fundamental human rights. At The Intentional Conversation, diversity is our strength. We believe in compassion, justice, and liberation for all.
Diversity & Inclusion Plan
The Intentional Conversation values and celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a trauma-informed telehealth practice serving diverse communities, fostering an atmosphere of belonging is central to our mission.
To promote diversity and inclusion, we commit to:
-Maintaining an ethical, judgment-free environment for clients of all backgrounds. This includes diversity of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, and socioeconomic status.
-Promoting an atmosphere of ongoing learning and growth. This involves being open to feedback, embracing psychological safety and cultural humility, and recognizing the need for continual improvement.
Why The Intentional Conversation?
The meaning behind the name:
The name "The Intentional Conversation" represents our belief that purposeful, intentional dialogue is vital - not only in the counseling space, but in every setting. As licensed counselors, we understand that meaningful conversations centered on understanding are crucial for nurturing personal growth and enacting social change.
The meaning behind the logo:
The butterfly and caterpillar reflected in the mirror symbolize the profound personal growth and self-understanding that emerges when we thoughtfully examine our full experience, integrating all that we have been and learned along the way. Just as a caterpillar undergoes a remarkable transformation into a butterfly, counseling facilitates our metamorphosis as we reflect on who we are (faded butterfly representation) and who we hope to become. The butterfly conveys that while we carry remnants of our past within us (faded caterpillar representation), through thoughtful self-reflection during counseling, we can emerge transformed and ready to take flight toward the individuals we aspire to be.
Together, these symbols visualize the process of intentional conversations - revealing insights that lead to positive change. Overall, the logo speaks to personal transformation fueled by self-knowledge, empathy, and our shared capacity for growth when given the right environment. Just as you provide a space for caterpillars to become butterflies, we offer a safe atmosphere for clients to reflect, open up, and reconstruct their narratives to move forward with their goals.
In this space, let our voices come together in this shared journey.
The door is open. Welcome.
