Marriage Counseling Therapists in Lancaster, PA

I value the relationship within the counseling experience. I value your story. I provide a unique perspective on counseling. I am both a clinical social worker and ordained minister. Certified by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, I am trained to integrate your values and beliefs in your work. I am trained to both provide the clinical skills you need, and to integrate a deeper understanding of your faith and values. I have expertise in severe mental illness and am LGBT friendly. I have completed Level 3 of Gottman Theory Training, and am a leader in the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work program.

In my nearly 20 years as a psychologist it has become clear to me that entering into therapy takes courage. It takes courage to look at one's struggles and go near painful aspects of life. It takes courage to make changes; in the way we see ourselves, our relationships and our future. As a therapist, I see my role as not the agent of change, but as someone who 'walks with' the person who is courageously ready to change. I enjoy working at changes in individuals and couples as well as families.

Hi, I'm Megan. (I am accepting new clients March 2024!) I am passionate about making therapy approachable, effective, and possibly even enjoyable! Maybe you're feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, unmotivated, or disconnected. Maybe you're experiencing relationship challenges with your partner, friends, family, or colleagues. Maybe you're feeling at an impasse in life, struggling with a transition, grieving a loss, or hoping for change. Whether you come to therapy by yourself or with a partner, I am dedicated to connecting, collaborating, and supporting you in creating a positive shift.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or stress? Parenting difficulties or relationship issues? Allow me to help! With over 30 years' experience working with individuals with mental health diagnoses, I recognize the importance of trauma informed care practices. I work to create a safe space to process past experiences, that continue to make achieving personal goals difficult. Identifying and building upon strengths that an individual already has is paramount in my approach, and together we focus on fostering mindfulness techniques in developing coping strategies to address depression, anxiety and day to day challenges.

Over the years, it has been my privilege and honor to serve many different populations. Most recently, I have spent a lot of time working with marital and family issues as well as addictions of various kinds. I also enjoy assisting clients with stage of life challenges like remarriage, adjustments after the birth of your first child, teen years, empty nest, or dealing with chronic illness. Many of these issues are usually connected to stress and anxiety management; an area I have also worked with extensively. My experience and education are difficult to encapsulate into just a few areas.

Now taking clients for individual therapy only, daytime hours only please! I’d love to help you find a new and better place to live in and live from. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work well with couples, families, and teens. Everyone who comes to therapy is unique so I listen well to get to know each person and family situation well. My systems training will help you make better sense of how to communicate to those you love and care for. With a couple’s relationship, I’m amazed at how rich EFT, an attachment based approach, is in helping people open up to healing and trust inside their relationship.

To those who know me best, I am considered a genuine “encourager” of people, compassionate yet direct. You don't have to journey through life alone. I seek to create a safe and confidential space for children, adults, couples, and families to process life and find greater purpose, healing and joy. I have graduate degrees in both theology and counseling with over 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds in a strengths-based way that infuses hope. I integrate a variety of relational and experiential approaches to best meet your needs and will use faith based counseling for those interested.

Are you struggling with emotions, trauma, or persistent negative thoughts? Is your child struggling with their behaviors, emotions or school? Are your relationships in trouble, or need a "tune up?" You have come to the right place. Hi! My name is Katie Kapur, and I am here to help you acheive your goals, improve your relationships and increase life satisfaction. I care about my clients, and value the time I spend with each and every person I have the pleasure of working with.

Are you are always in battle with your spouse or partner? Has communication has broken down and you don’t know how to talk to each other anymore? Are you hurt because of things that were said in anger? Do you feel that no matter what you do, nothing is ever good enough or you’re not good enough? In most marriage or couples counseling, all things can be improved, changed and made better, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, fight fair and get what you want out of your relationship.

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.

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.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety, stress, or depression? Do you find it difficult to manage your relationships with your significant other or family members? Together, we will work on finding strategies and coping skills to help you manage your day-to-day life. I am a board certified Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and earned my Master’s degree from La Salle University in Philadelphia. I have provided therapeutic services to children, teens, adults, families, and couples.

Over my 20+ years working in the mental health field, I have seen the impact that therapy can have on individuals and families as they seek to find peace and healing. Children and adults with a variety of life challenges are no stranger to me. I absolutely love what I do and find it a privilege to partner with individuals on their therapeutic journey. As you consider your next steps, please feel free to contact me with any questions about my approach, my experience, or how I can help.

I began working in the mental health field in 2017 at an inpatient unit at a local hospital that helped those suffering with mental health emergencies as well as those detoxing from substances. Following this I moved to the outpatient world focusing on working with pre-marital, marital/couples, athletes needing a focus with sports psychology, and individuals with a wide variety of needs.

At the heart of making positive changes in our life is examining our thought processes and beliefs about ourselves, our relationships and the world around us in general. Whether you are seeking individual or couples counseling, navigating current challenges, struggling with past trauma or difficult emotions, your mental fitness is foundational to your success.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, or grief? Is your marriage falling apart? Does your child have behavioral problems? Do you just need someone to talk to?

As a seasoned professional I have experience working with all age groups. I specialize in the treatment of children and adolescents and their families. I also have advanced training in and experience with providing Marriage and Family therapy. I offer group therapy as the need arises within a specific population. I offer daytime and evening appointments and I am flexible with scheduling to meet your individual needs. I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (an evidenced based treatment for chronic pain). I am licensed to work with clients in Florida and Pennsylvania.

There comes a day when we find ourselves in a place we never, ever expected to be. We face some painful realities and make very difficult decisions and choices. Later, we look back on our decisions and realize we could have done things better, or differently. What is important is what we do with what we have learned from those mistakes and how to deal with the guilt and shame that goes with it. Successful therapy involves a commitment to heal and become strong, stable and able to put our wounds where they might be appropriately placed. Not as defense shields to distort realities, but instead, to live the life we all desire.
