Maureen S. Boyle Cieri, M.A., LPC, NCC

I am proudly an HSP . I appreciate the amazing traits we have as highly sensitive people. I understand how these traits can both make our world feel overwhelming and amazingly bright and beautiful. I have grown up teaching myself coping skills, and have passed them on to my own HSP child and then later to HSP children in the classroom and in sessions. Finding Elaine Aron’s work helped me become a more aware person, parent, teacher and therapist. I enjoy working with other HSPs and helping them understand the perplexities of having such traits. I work from a rationally based perspective, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Resiliency training. My office respects ones’ sensitives to smells, lighting, textures and personal space. I am in the mainline area, just outside of Philadelphia, and conveniently located near Wynnewood, Haverford, and Narberth.

As an HSP, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities of being sensitive in a world that isn’t. I specialize in individual therapy with highly sensitive adult women (18-64) who are looking to authentically grow as they move through:

–Loss, grief, trauma, and post-traumatic growth,
–Anxiety, depression, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs)
–Chronic health issues and/or chronic pain,
–Fertility/pregnancy loss/pregnancy/postpartum issues,
–Major life transitions (education/career, relationships, phase of life),
–Spiritual/religious development, and
–Finding greater purpose and meaning in life.

I utilize an integrative approach that focuses on client strengths and ways to harness creativity, mindfulness, and an appreciation for nature and the arts on the path of holistic growth.

I specialize in helping sensitive and ambitious adult women heal from trauma, burnout, & anxiety to create more connection, inner peace, & life balance. I empower my clients to re-calibrate and realign thoughts, feelings, actions, and the nervous system with their values and needs to bring more pleasure, joy, and alignment to their life. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all so I work collaboratively with you to create the safe space you need to achieve your specific goals. Turning pain into power because you deserve better than the exhausting hustle/grind status quo pressure to prove your worth. You don’t need to try harder, you need to feel safer and be supported.

I am an HSP and an Empath also.  If you are ready to see this trait as a gift, I’m happy to assist you. Do you feel differently than our peers?  Or you don’t feel like you fit in or like something is wrong with you? I pride myself on creating a safe environment for you to connect and process these feelings allowing you to feel heard and less alone.

As a fellow person who identifies as an HSP and Empath, I am passionate about supporting adults and children with these traits feel better.  I specialize in trauma and anxiety using hypnosis, brainspotting and energy psychology techniques are some of the modalities we can use.

I have spent the last 20 years developing an intuitive and integrative approach to my work as a  Clinical Social Worker, Play Therapist, and Transformative Life Coach.   You can learn more about the trauma-trained, virtual telemental health therapy services I offer to Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey residents at www.staceybshapiro.com.

I am a Highly Sensitive Person myself and absolutely LOVE working with other HSPs to help them understand and appreciate the trait – and heal from trauma and wounding they have experienced as a highly sensitive person in an overstimulating and often insensitive world. I work with children, teens, and adults – and especially love working with creative people and other therapists. I am also a Certified EMDR therapist and an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant.  Specialties include trauma, anxiety and working through creative blocks.
