Ralph Kyser, LPC

Psychotherapist
PA
Hi there, I'm Ralph! My name is Ralph Kyser, Licensed Professional Counselor in PA, with a Master’s in Counseling from Chestnut Hill College. I am a person-centered, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT), experienced in counseling children and adolescents, primarily African-American males. My specialized areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation, anger management, anxiety, grief, school issues, and conflict resolution. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered, strengths-based, psychodynamic, and TF-CBT. I utilize role-play, teach coping skills and calming strategies, encourage positive self-talk, and apply the principles of CBT including psychoeducation, parenting skills, and relaxation techniques. My focus I typically work with children, adolescents, or young adults who have emotional disturbances, poor coping skills, difficulty expressing themselves appropriately, poor social skills, and who are aggressive or angry. My communication style I communicate in a calm tone, with a happy and pleasant mood. I hope clients feel more optimistic, hopeful, and cared for when working with me. My journey to mental healthcare Having survived many of the feelings and circumstances my clients experience, I understand those emotions and want to be there for them during these times. My goals for you I approach goal setting by discussing with clients past incidents that have caused patterns of distress and allowing them to identify the goals they want to work on. My first session with you During the first session, clients can expect to receive psychoeducation about the treatment methods I will use, confidentiality rules, the number of sessions, psychological risks, session norms, and attendance expectations. I will also assess the issues to determine if we are a good fit, then begin working on goals.
