Therapists in Lancaster, PA

In today’s society it is sometimes difficult to manage our mental health. We become anxious, depressed and sometimes our relationships suffer. Many of us suffer from traumatic experiences that we have not properly processed. It is important to find ways to cope with our anxiety, overcome our depression, process our trauma and learn to communicate in a positive manner in order to build healthy relationships with others as well as with ourselves.

Individuals, couples and families can become stuck in unhealthy patterns and then feel hopeless that things will never be different. I enjoy hearing client's unique stories and holding the hope for change until clients have reclaimed their hope. Specific areas of experience include: anxiety, depression, grief/loss, transitions, parenting struggles, addictions, ADHD, and learning disorders.

Hello & Welcome! So very glad you are here. My name is Melissa Lopez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of direct practice experience. I specialize in trauma recovery.

Are you / your child having trouble with intense emotions? Are you a teen or young adult struggling with life adjustments and feel like you are trying to find your place within what seems like a chaotic world? Do you or your child have difficulty with anxiety or depression, often caused by school stress or changing family dynamics? Are you a parent that struggles with knowing how to help your child? I can offer support and guidance. I believe a therapeutic relationship and trust is key in counseling, and my goal is to empower and support you to understand that change and growth is possible.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am trained to help guide you through life’s ups and downs based on your achievements and assets. From the social work perspective, we can focus on holistically working towards effective change rather than just on your symptoms or diagnosis. This includes your successes, barriers, family history, support systems, community, and anything else that makes you uniquely you. I am EMDR Certified and specialize in EMDR and IFS informed EMDR to treat acute and chronic PTSD as well as perinatal mental health and anxiety / mood disorders.

I provide individual therapy for adolescents, teens, adults, as well as couples, families, and group counseling. Through a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs, I assist clients in identifying limiting beliefs and outmoded coping mechanisms that may be standing in the way. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Services provided span from therapy for depression and anxiety to relationship and family counseling, stress management, anger management and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I hope to help clients attain the personal growth they're striving for.

Hi, I’m Neal Holmes. I am a believer in holistic and collaborative therapy. Bearing witness to your lived experience is an honor, because we are all striving to live and build relationships the best way we know how as people. I like to help my clients find their passion in life, remove blocks that are keeping them from being their authentic self, and live the life they wish to live with their dreams and hopes fulfilled.

My approach to counseling is to hold sacred space with you- this space and dedicated time is especially sacred in the hustle and bustle of life. To prioritize, slow down and explore your human experience might feel like a luxury, but in fact it is a necessity. Sometimes life pulls us so hard, that we are forced into this space, other times it is a slow burn that builds. When we listen carefully, we often can figure out what we need, lovingly challenge the thoughts that do not serve us and take steps to connecting to our authentic selves.

Perhaps your relationships are breaking down due to barriers in communication or a lack of trust between your family or partner. You might have walked through the negative impact of substance abuse, mental illness, financial struggle, or sudden loss. You desire ultimate healing, effective communication, healthy boundaries, & genuine connections, but you're not sure how to start the journey towards wholeness.

As a licensed marriage & family therapist, my goal is to help individuals, couples and families achieve a greater sense of contentment in life. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, building a relationship with you that fosters courage for change.

Everyone has unique experiences that led them to this moment in their lives. Your feelings and thoughts about your present life are valid. No matter where you are today, I will help guide and encourage you with acceptance, humor, kindness, and compassion. I welcome you to therapy if you are looking for help with boundaries, cohesion, and communication through working on problems stemming from trauma, identity, and relationships. I am here to help you.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I care deeply about helping my clients reach their goals by identifying strengths, discovering possibilities, and finding balance in the troublesome areas of their lives. The journey to healing and wholeness requires a safe place to process the difficulties in life, and by walking together, we create that safety so that the client may regain a sense of fullness in their life, enrich their relationships, and find their unique purpose and meaning in life.

Therapy is a great opportunity for exploration of oneself, relationships, family, and in general navigating life. In this process, one can learn about their patterns, strengths, and areas of growth. My goal as a couples, family, and individual therapist, is to create a safe environment where I can walk along side you as you work toward reaching your goals. I believe that therapy is a collaboration to not only work through struggles and build skills, but to also celebrate the strengths and victories along the way. Together we can gain clarity and develop skills that encourage healthy patterns and fulfilling relationships.

My primary role as a therapist is to provide a safe, genuine relationship - A place for you to be both the person you're afraid to show and the one you desire to be. Life has a tendency to tangle our needs and dreams, making it hard to access our abilities. I'm here to help coax out those threads of hope and strength to be crafted into your true narrative. You may have a vivid picture of your goals in seeking therapy, or simply a yearning for growth. Together we can make that vision manifest in your day to day life.

Want a therapist that flexes and adapts to your needs, goals, and style? I believe it is my job to learn about and conform to what my clients need, whether it's a more laid-back listening-oriented style or a more directive goal-oriented style. Your counseling process should be completely unique to who you are as a person, couple, or family and you should be encouraged to sit in the driver's seat. I am comfortable using a variety of therapy modalities and love creating tailored therapeutic experiences that "fit just right" for all of my clients. I am also open to discussing holistic options including diet, exercise, and spirituality.

Everyone deserves a chance at improving themselves. Therapy is the journey of self-discovery and along the way you can self-heal. My approach as your therapist is to guide you in your self-discovery and we learn together where the healing within yourself needs to begin. You are the expert of yourself and what you need. As your therapist, I am here to provide you with a warm, welcoming, and respected environment that allows you to feel open and vulnerable. We will create short-term goals in doable doses that will promote the growth you desire within yourself. I am currently working with adults and teens virtually.

Feeling stuck in life? Hesitant about therapy? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor that uses a resiliency approach to therapy. I believe we all have the ability to heal and have the strength to overcome anything that life throws at us. I use behavioral, mind-body, relational, and trauma informed approaches tailored to the specific person. In addition, I am EMDR Certified through EMDRIA and have extensive training in trauma and mindfulness. I also hold certificates in Embodied Social Justice and Maternal Mental Health.

Life today creates many challenges and obstacles, but also opportunities to grow. Counseling can be a vital part to gaining and maintaining a healthy and well-balanced life. I view therapy as a way to heal through telling your story in a non-judgmental and safe setting. Therapy will give you the tools which will allow you to live your best life. Are you ready to start your counseling journey?
