Lucy Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania who has over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families to help them manage the effects of anxiety, depression, grief, life stress, trauma, work stress, OCD, Adult ADHD, and Mild Autism. Lucy has significant experience working with children and adolescents. She enjoys helping youth to express their feelings, feel more positive about themselves and develop positive coping skills.

I feel that all clients have a choice in their treatment and should have access to an array of techniques to address their needs. I also think is is important that clients find a therapist that is a good "fit" for them. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Strength-Based techniques in my work. I also believe in the importance of taking care of your physical health in conjunction with mental health. I help to identify triggers to symptoms as well as creating healthier coping strategies and boundaries.

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.

The GOAL: TO THRIVE!!! Making Connections, with family, friends, and most importantly, with yourself. Too often the results of depression, anxiety, addiction, or any difficult life circumstance can lead to a lack of motivation, and isolation, which can hinder us from enjoying life the way we were mean to. Therapy is a process of personal discovery. Identifying personal strengths and utilizing them to facilitate Motivation and Change to reach your personal goals.

Welcome! Taking the first step is always difficult, and I am so glad you are here. Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn't mean you can, should, or need to do it alone. Everyone is their own person with a different perspective of the world. I will work from various approaches to make your journey one-of-a-kind and meaningful to you. I truly want anyone I work with to become the best version of themselves.

We all need someone to talk to at different times in our lives, especially when it is difficult for our closest loved ones to give unbiased feedback. As a counselor, I join with individuals, couples and families to help them utilize their inner and collective strengths to face their difficulties. By building skills and strategies to address their struggles, people can transcend their past suffering, cope with present difficulties and move forward in life. I create space for connection and healing by offering a private, supportive, and safe place to allow people to bring forth their authentic selves.

Hi! I'm Noah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. I work with a broad range of clients, and offer individual adult, adolescent and pediatric therapy; couples therapy and family therapy. My clients come to me with a range of needs and goals, but broadly I work with clients to foster healthy relationships, promote mental wellbeing and grit, and develop an overall sense of body-mind wellness. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, complex grief, ADHD, and substance abuse.

Throughout the years I've found opportunities to work with various populations ranging in ages, diagnoses, goals, & approaches. I have extensive experience working with children & adolescents on the autism spectrum, as well as with parents to teach skills to manage behavioral issues. I also do family counseling, including with families & adoption. I work with with children & adolescents with trauma, anxiety, & behavioral issues (oppositional defiant disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, ADHD, & reactive attachment disorder). I have experience working with the female population struggling with drug/alcohol addiction, as well as individuals with anxiety, depression, andd mood difficulties.

I started working in the Lehigh Valley in 1979 after post-doctoral training in marriage and family therapy. My focus now is on helping people age through their senior years with creativity and grace, using writing, visual images, and a psychological and spiritual method called SoulCollage®. I assist people going through transitions in their lives as well as those who are stuck. My ideal client is between the ages of 40 and 80+, who is eager to learn about him/her self and move ahead with insight and wisdom. I also work with couples at all stages and writing memoirs.

“Why Now”? and “What has happened”? are the ways my first session begins with a new patient. This patient is ready to begin their story. A favorite story I often reference in my work, filled with metaphors and twists and turns, is The Wizard of Oz. At the end of the story Dorothy discovers that she has always had the power to return home to Kansas. However, the power was hidden from her and she did not know how to access or utilize it. I am not the helpful Glinda, but I do collaboratively assist my patients to define and achieve their goals by optimizing their hidden strengths and skills.

I am hoping to work with anyone who is actively working to change their life for the better. My goal is to help you to alleviate symptoms of substance abuse, anxiety, trauma, depression, social skills, lack of focus, and inability to trust. Among other groups, I have experience as an LPC supervisor, working with professionals and adults, and transitional age youth who are bridging the gap between childhood and adulthood. I want to engage with the self-improvement potential in all clients/couples/families with whom I work.

Finding a counselor can be intimidating. I offer a warm, welcoming approach where you will feel at ease. With over 20 years experience, I can help you with trauma, PTSD, relationships, and anxiety/mood disorders. Extensive, specialized and ongoing training with some of the foremost experts in the field allows me to use powerful, integrative and in-depth techniques, helping my clients get to the root of their issues and achieve results much faster than traditional talk therapy allows. Permanently offering video sessions only; clients must be in PA, where I am licensed, during sessions.

We all go through difficult times while taking this journey through life. Therapy can be an effective way to help us learn new coping skills to manage our stressors. Whether you are currently experiencing an increase in symptoms due to present life circumstances, or are struggling with residue from the past, I can utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to help you reach your fullest potential. These services are provided in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder, women's issues, mood disorders, stress and anxiety, marital and family difficulties, grief, eating disorders, addictions, sexuality issues, and group therapy.

As a Counseling Psychologist I am searching to find health or “ego strength“ in a person. People are capable of having internal positive and negative aspects in play at all times. Working from a psychodynamic model to see the whole clinical picture, I believe insight is crucial but it doesn’t guarantee behavior change. To that end I work from a cognitive and behavioral model to build strength.

The decision to seek help in order to improve your life and make positive changes is often a very difficult one. As a licensed professional counselor with over 18 years of experience, I can help you address the issues that are impacting your happiness and facilitate the growth and change that you may be seeking. Some of these issues may include life transitions, depression, anxiety, family conflict, relationship problems, parenting struggles, and drug or alcohol use.
