Dr. Todd Witmer

Deciding to speak with a counselor is an important step, and Dr. Todd Witmer approaches each session with attentiveness and a focus on practical growth. He acknowledges that people develop strategies to handle daily life but sometimes encounter circumstances that overwhelm those usual coping methods. In collaboration with clients he helps develop new perspectives, build additional skills, and gain insights that can be applied to current challenges, with goals set to create hope for a future beyond the present difficulty. He welcomes the chance to hear each person’s story and plan the next steps together.

Dr. Witmer began his training in marriage and family therapy more than 30 years ago, motivated by a desire to better understand his own family dynamics and to support members of his congregation and the local community. He is licensed in Pennsylvania as a marriage and family therapist (PA LMFT MF000462), and over the past three decades he has worked with individuals, couples, and families in both formal counseling offices and his local church. His experience includes a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, life changes, parenting and family struggles, career transitions, faith-related issues, and communication difficulties.

He is committed to listening to people’s stories and assisting them in the process of understanding. To address concerns, he considers therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, client-centered, psychodynamic, multi-systemic, and motivational interviewing, selecting the methods that best fit each client’s needs.
