Hi, I'm Omy Golden.
I’m a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with 8+ years of experience providing counseling to individuals and couples. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
I help adults create healing in their lives, which often means addressing past traumas and relationship hurts that stand in the way of us showing up as our authentic selves.
I believe that you are the expert on you. Through curiosity, gentleness, and acceptance, I can help you discover your own unique path towards overcoming life’s challenges.
During our work together, I will use compassion and empathy to create a safe place to explore your feelings. I will show up with warmth, authenticity, and a lack of judgement. I am collaborative in my approach, and I am happy to problem solve and give feedback when helpful. You may come away from our time together with a few too many book recommendations, a surprising amount of laughter, and a sense that you are no longer in this journey alone.
Using my background in expressive arts therapy, I can help you explore your sense of creativity, whether that means recovering long-lost passions or uncovering new ways to be playful and find joy in life. And I'm not just talking about ‘Art’ with a capital ‘A.’ Creativity can show up in so many ways -- how you dress, how you cook, how you relate to partners and friends, or how you express yourself in the pages of a journal, to name just a few examples.
As a person and a clinician I strive to be actively anti-racist, body-neutral, and trans- and gender affirming. I welcome and celebrate diversity, including all body shapes/sizes, ethnicities, sexualities, genders, and relationship styles (including ethical non-monogamy/polyamory and BDSM/kink).
Oftentimes when we are ready to seek counseling we may find ourselves in a dark place, struggling to see our way forward, but knowing something needs to change. If you are ready to take that next step, despite the darkness, I invite you to reach out. Contact me to set up a consultation and see if together we can shed some light on what the healing path looks like for you.
