Greetings and welcome. My name is Elizabeth Brillon and I am an expert in managing anxieties and trauma. Life doesn't seem to work out the way we expect it to, does it? Do you ever feel like sometimes it is just too much to handle? When you pause to take a moment to think, are you pondering why your connections with others aren't allowing you to gain the elements you need to be at peace? This disharmony can be difficult to balance. It can feel lonely when you feel overwhelmed by those things in life that you cannot control. You are deserving of peace, safety, and healing. Caring for our being includes nurturing our mental health.

I work with women & couples seeking a Biblical perspective, rooted inn formal training. I'll get to know your strengths, values, beliefs, and goals, & help to get to the root issues. A thorough assessment & treatment from a holistic approach will get the best outcome, to not just "feel" better, but find freedom from your symptoms & patterns. I also offer on-line group counseling, and for those local to Adams County, PA, I offer Nature-based therapy, combining the healing benefits of Creation, & therapy techniques!

Hello, and congratulations on prioritizing your mental health! I'm Zach, and I can help individuals work through a variety of issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Bi-Polar, Parenting, Family Conflict, and Grief to name a few. My role is to help you to navigate all of life's challenges in healthy ways, while being an accepting and non-judgmental ear for you.

It is my passion to help others see the strength and beauty within themselves. As a therapist, I strive to be accepting and affirming. I work collaboratively with others to find balance, emotional acceptance, and empowerment in their lives. I have experience working with a variety of difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-worth, trauma, family dynamics, and more. I graduated with my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I strive to be a lifelong learner. I would be grateful for the opportunity to learn from you too!

Becoming a mom can burn you out and trigger stuff you thought you had sorted out. Whether you have little ones and you're feeling overwhelmed, or you've experienced pregnancy loss and are struggling with grief, the journey is not always easy. Taking care of others AND somehow finding time to take care of you is a lot to juggle. You want a calm, happy home but the things you’ve tried haven’t stuck. But you don’t have to repeat history. You can spend more time enjoying your family. You can feel better in body and mind. Being able to have a happy family life and take care of your own mental wellness is 100 percent possible.

Many people experience feelings of anxiety about the future, struggle to find the motivation or energy to successfully face current problems, or feel misunderstood by others. Having support in the process of adjusting or changing your patterns of thinking and actions can help you fulfill your aspirations and enjoy greater happiness. I will help you work towards aligning your hopes and goals with productive and healthy ways of thinking and acting. My therapeutic approach allows you to identify and build upon your strengths while developing new skills and strategies that foster hope and help you face life challenges more effectively.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated? Are you consumed with thoughts that leave you paralyzed in your day to day tasks? Does the urge to complete everything perfectly hold you back from moving forward in your life? Is this you? I am here to help! Please give me a call or email me at kelireamslcsw@gmail.com to set up your free consultation so we can make sure it is a good fit.

I help adolescents, families, individuals, couples, and adults, find healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthen relationships, improve communication/interactions, and find guidance so that they can feel complete, hopeful, and at peace. I provide an eclectic compilation of what works best for each client. With 16+ years of experience in the field, I’ve worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger, self-improvement, co-parenting, couples counseling, working through major life stressors, trauma, and helping them find a new path.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. From this understanding and processing of your unique story, you can let go of traumas that control you, anxiety and depression road blocks, bad relationships, and overall the emotional pain that may prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life that gets you excited to wake up to everyday. I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life. You DESERVE this and I'm here to help you on this healing journey!

Clients ages sixteen through the lifespan are considered for acceptance. I counsel people dealing anxiety, depression, acute stress disorder, PTSD, mood management, grief, loss, suicide of a family member or friend, divorce, relationship issues, chronic or terminal illness, homelessness or domestic abuse. Counseling provides education, and supportive insight so that clients are able to develop healthier coping skills. I provide education and relapse prevention skills for clients with substance abuse and DUI issues. Referrals are made for clients who need more intensive care, due to advanced substance abuse.

I believe each person has the power to expand their agency and live in more authenticity and alignment with their values. I work with individuals, couples, and families to build upon strengths and lean into growing edges, to find solutions to problems within ones relationship system that you may be struggling to see are there.

We live such hectic and often overwhelming lives that counseling provides us the opportunity to check out, even if only for a moment. Granting individuals a listening ear and a compassionate empathetic response is my specialty. My ultimate goal is to build healthy individuals and families by developing the therapeutic tool box filled with practices that bring calm to chaos. We must look to our foundation and past experiences in order to create a plan for healing and future success. With that, much of our work will involve delving deep into Family of Origin issues in order to create healthy new norms and patterns.

For some of us, our ability to maintain a loving, empowered relationship with ourselves can be more challenging due to circumstance, our mental health (or lack thereof), and events that may have happened to us. Perhaps this shows up as struggling to show up for ourselves in ways we do for others. For many, when we feel like our potential is different than our reality, we may turn against ourselves.

After asking your teenager countless times to clean their room, you walk in to see them playing video games with their dirty socks all over the floor! Now you’re seeing red. You’re either giving in to their bad behavior, snapping in frustration, and then feeling guilty about it. You know your kid needs extra support. His teachers have been throwing around “ADHD” as a diagnosis, but no one has any helpful advice. You’re in over your head. The habits he learns now will affect the rest of his life, and you feel like you’re failing him as a parent. You want what’s best for your child­, but this feels like more than you can handle alone.
