About Cameron Cready-Pyle, LCSW
Your pain is not a fact of life.
I’m a Philadelphia-based EMDR therapist who specializes in working with people who can’t move past a stuck point in their life. My expertise is in trauma-informed care, but where I really thrive is helping you to see your past in a different light, and to not let it overshadow your present.
Whether or not you believe it, you are resilient.
Let me repeat that — you are here right now because you are resilient.
My job is to foster your strengths, process your insecurities, and work together to build you a road map to your best self. And, I'll be honest with you, I'm pretty damn good at it.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that you don’t simply have to be a sum of your parts — that, instead, you can curate your favorite parts of yourself and become exactly who you want to be.
I am EMDR-certified, and most of my work is based on intensive work. You can learn more about that here. I help overachievers, perfectionists, and career-driven professionals find their balance between joy and success.
The way I do this comes down to helping you to understand the problem efficiently, with evidence-driven work, and helping you to harness the power to control your reaction to it. I am a realist, which means that I know there is no magic solution here. Everything I practice is built in years of research, and a strong desire to give people relief from their pain as quickly as is possible.
Therapy with me is…
-
Intensive work means no time to waste. We are setting goals to keep us on pace, and you are seeing results within days (even hours!). You are worth seeing results, and your time is precious.
-
Though I work entirely within the EMDR model, how that plays out in our time together is entirely based on your story. I take the time to learn as much as I can about you and your needs, creating a plan personalized entirely for you.
-
Though we are diving deep, you will be prepared. We spend ample time preparing you, giving you a tool kit extensive enough to really give you the confidence to say okay, let’s do this.
-
We will reach the root of the issue. My work is based in creating an environment where finding the core of the problem is the most important step. Going deep is how you stop needing to come back.
