Bruce Hersey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Altoona, PA. Bruce offers a highly integrated approach combining a number of advanced methods in a holistic way to help clients travel their own paths toward health, healing and recovery.
In over 20 years of private practice, Bruce has continuously developed a client-centered open-hearted and systematic method of understanding people's problems. From down-to-earth practical advice to the deepest depths of self-awareness and transformation, Bruce has enabled many to find acceptance and peace within themselves and solutions to concerns of all types. Depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship, sex, and intimacy issues can be privately and respectfully addressed in a comfortable quiet space outside of one's busy and crowded life with an accepting, non-judgmental attitude that preserves the dignity of all clients.
For many, process-oriented therapies are taught, enabling each person to discover and navigate their own internal worlds and appreciate the wealth of information available inside that can inform them and guide them in their healing journeys. Mindfulness, acute body awareness, imagery, and identification of hidden thoughts and beliefs in combination with expanded openness, connection, and spirit are achieved through various methods including Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).
