Thank you for stopping by, it's nice to meet you! I'm Victoria, the owner of The Consulting Firm. I've been in the psychology field for the past 12 years and it has been such a fulfilling experience to learn and support people from so many different demographics, backgrounds, statuses and cultures. Throughout my career, I noticed that there was a group of individuals who were often overlooked: leaders. So I decided to create a lane for them. The Consulting Firm offers therapy to leaders, executives, and business owners to ensure that they're succeeding personally and professionally.

Areas of specialty are: anxiety and depression, challenging adolescents (behavior management) and their family systems, insomnia treatment and sleep regulation, and working with young adults adjusting to life transitions.

"You are not broken, you are breaking through". I have spent my career normalizing and reducing the stigma of seeking therapy. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. Your anxiety, doubt, and hesitation will be reduced by my calm demeanor and safe environment. In order to assist in creating change short term goals will be collaborated on and assessed each session. Progress will be measured together. Many interventions are utilized based on the presenting problem. There is no one solution for everyone. Therapy is a process that takes time, but I will be your road map.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and worn-out? Do you feel sad or anxious? Struggle with low self-esteem, poor body-image, or the motivation for meeting your wellness goals? Hey there, you’re not alone! So often we attach ourselves to the ideas of the world that tell us who we SHOULD be and how we SHOULD act. We lose sight of our authentic selves and fall into self-destructive patterns of stress, anxiety and depression that can feel inescapable...but they're not!

Our practice focuses on Empowerment. Conveniently located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley. We offer individual, couples and family counseling. Co-parenting sessions also available. Day & evening appointments. Accepting most insurances, reasonable self pay rates. Our clinicians together have over 30 years of experience. Reach for a better you!

It is my belief that the key to change is to create meaningful and collaborative relationships. It is my goal to create a space for my clients to feel safe and supported, while also being heard. Sometimes our struggles throughout life can become overwhelming and we get stuck in behaviors and patterns that aren’t serving us. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of PA. I enjoy working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and struggles with adjustment in all areas of their lives.

Therapy is a journey that empowers you to reach your individual goals. Together, we will gain awareness, make strides towards change, and heal from the stressors that life brings you. Let's together create a safe place to move through each stage of change for your continued ability to apply skills needed to your everyday life.

Co-founded by Drs. Alison Levine and Christine Haasz in 2017, H&L Psychological Services is committed to providing high-quality professional care to all clients. H&L strives to be inclusive and work with all clients, relationships, and family structures. This involves understanding unique life experiences and intersectionality of identities. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, safety, acceptance, and respect. We do not have administrative staff in our office, so you will speak to a licensed mental health professional when you email or call us.

If you are anxious or going stir-crazy re: COVID-19 or having difficulty with relationships, depression, self-esteem, or wrestling with an addiction & would like help, let's talk. I have been a psychotherapist for thirty years, and work with children, adolescents, and adults. How long ago did your issue begin? Many people don’t know the root cause of their problem. You may be suffering in silence not knowing where to turn. Counseling can provide tools for surviving the emotional fall out from COVID-19, building happy, healthy relationships, managing stress & anxiety, appreciating your strengths, & feeling good about yourself.

My goal is to help my client's explore their concerns in a safe and welcoming environment. Utilizing a variety of techniques such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, and a Humanistic Approach to develop skills to manage the current difficulties in life and to continue maintaining the progress in therapy outside of the therapeutic relationship. I have been practicing for 8+ years in a variety of settings including: therapeutic foster care, group home setting, outpatient clinic, and private practice. With utilizing these experiences I am able to meet my client's where they currently are and work towards success.

My approach to psychotherapy involves exploring how your unique history has influenced who you are today and your current struggles. Together we will work on increasing your self-awareness so that you are no longer hindered by past experiences or weighed down by suppressed emotions. In discovering and revealing your true self, you will find more fulfillment in relationships and the opportunity to reach your full potential.

Throughout our lives we all encounter times of stress, self-doubt, and turmoil that overwhelm our capacity to cope. As a psychologist, I work with individuals who are seeking to reduce emotional distress while also developing greater self-acceptance, coping skills, and interpersonal skills. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, flexible, and individualized to each of my clients. I believe that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is invaluable and I expect our time together will be both challenging and rewarding.

I am a down to earth therapist. I am solution focused and like to help my clients find the positives in their lives. No psychobabble here. My ideal client is one who wants to work, doesn't mind homework, and is willing to keep an open mind about therapy. I believe that therapy is hard work but that doesn't mean it can't sometimes be fun.

As people, over our lifetime we experience medical, physical, psychological and relational challenges. Therapy provides emotional support during these times, so we can transform our feelings of fear and vulnerability to strength and confidence. By being aware, of how we respond and why we react to change the way we do can help us grow. All transitions in life effect our functioning within ourselves and with others. Emotional Support Therapy provides the tools needed to unify our emotional and intellectual processing, thus promoting self-growth and well-being in the face of life's changes.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Do you feel sad or anxious? Do you have concerns with your partner or your child? My calm and gentle style enables me to work with people of all ages in a manner that draws upon your inherent strengths to overcome the obstacles you face. I use an empowering approach to help you feel better in a way that is compassionate, challenging, validating, and rewarding.

My goal is to create an environment in which you feel safe and comfortable. I work to understand each client as a unique individual and respect each person's readiness for change. I focus on empowering clients to promote growth and change in their lives. Benefits of committing to the therapy process can include greater acceptance of self, more functional relationships, and increased consistency between goals and choices. Risks can include feeling an increase in aversive emotions while working through difficult subjects.

I have had a private practice for 26 years. Prior to opening my practice I worked in the areas of mental health and child welfare dating back to the 1970's. I have worked with children and families around the issue of relationships as well as helped many with changes in life circumstances. I have a very open minded and non-judgmental approach but will also point out areas that may be preventing you from reaching your goals and feeling better. I am also available to do therapy in your home.

I have experience with various clients from diverse backgrounds across a multitude of different settings. I have experience within child welfare, hospital, community mental health, and school settings. I primarily work with children/adolescents, adults, and families. I have a client-centered, solution focused approach to my practice. I assist clients to make positive life changes in order to keep moving forward towards life goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in evidenced-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT). I believe the overarching goal of therapy is to identify potential behaviors and ways of thinking that affect your current way of being. I have an active approach to therapy with the end result being a change in behaviors and thoughts aimed at leaving you with a new perspective. Clients present to treatment for diverse reasons and each client is unique. Therefore, my treatment approach is collaborative, client centered and focused on the whole person.

Building Better Relationships. I specialize in relationships, whether it is with a partner, a friend, a family member, or yourself.
