Person-Centered Therapists in Hershey, PA

It takes a great deal of strength to wake up each day and face life head on. I believe that there are times in our lives that present challenges to the person you are or want to be. Whether you are dealing with stress, worry, depression, or are not getting out of life what you want or deserve, talking to someone may be helpful. With over 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I value the person you are and the person you want to be. I believe you have the ability and right to get out of life all that you want.

Finding a connection, a support, and someone you can trust, is the most important element of therapeutic success. My goal is to create an environment where you feel free to express your thoughts and feelings in an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard and in confidence.

Picture it: you walk into the therapy office or sit in your favorite comfy chair to start your Telehealth session. You're identifing your triggers, building coping skills, and decreasing thought patterns that cause you to feel overwhelmed, less-than, and stuck. You're building healthy communication skills, creating and enforcing boundaries, and building trusting, secure attachments. You're overcoming life's challenges with greater ease and feeling more confident. You're learning to be your most authentic self. All of these things can be possible through therapy and I'd love to support you through the process.

Welcome to Set Sail Counseling, a group practice located in Hershey, PA. We are excited that you’re here and considering “setting sail” on your journey toward healing! We currently have two LPCs: Stacy Dove and Stachia Lippy (telehealth only). Stachia utilizes CBT and/or DBT and is a gender-affirming therapist operating from a trauma-informed lens.

I value and appreciate the courage it takes to open up and talk about stress in your life, relationship difficulties, and regrets. It's important to be able to talk to someone who is nonjudgmental.

I have over two decades of experience working within various community mental health settings helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health needs. I create a goal-oriented treatment for those experiencing, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, intrapersonal conflict, relationship and communication issues, childhood trauma, stressful events, life transitions, and parenting needs.

My experiences include working in mental health outpatient and inpatient facilities addressing mental health and substance use disorders. I am most experienced in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD and trauma.

Change can be difficult. At times, not changing can be harder. Deciding to explore therapy is a wonderful first step. I can help you set and accomplish goals to determine how to move from that difficult place, to where you want to be.

Stress can be psychologically toxic, even for helpers. Loss, trauma, injury/Illness anger, shame & fatigue can lead to anxiety and depression as well as relationship and behavior problems. Therapeutic relationships improve health by assisting with psychological detoxification and with the establishment of healthy emotional, interpersonal/social, mental, and physical habits to help inoculate against these "toxins." Sometimes natural healthy defenses against toxic stress break down and fail to protect us against painful or maladaptive feelings, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Having worked in the field of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency and treatment for over 35 years, I lived through the disease of addiction myself. Today, helping individuals and families from all walks of life to be able to receive the help they need I believe that experiencing the horrors of the illness first hand far better prepared me to help those in need than the years of professional training that have followed. Today, fortunate to have lived the past 40 + years in my own recovery, I remain forever grateful to those who cared enough to help me at a time when I could not help myself.

You who are highly sensitive and feel more deeply, welcome! You'll explore more deeply with me than in traditional talk therapy. You’ve likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to really “get” people from many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body and emotions, and gently access the root of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University, and previously earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Elizabethtown College. I have experience working with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, phobias, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), LGBTQIA+, and those experiencing housing or financial insecurity, low self-esteem, and bullying.

Navigating our way through life can be challenging, confusing, and unexplainable. Are you tired of feeling like you "should be" at some point in your life that you're not? Have you hesitated to seek help due to the stigma and judgement of mental illness? Being a human in this world can feel so hard, and we are not always meant to be on this journey alone. Therapy should be a safe space where we can work together to foster your growth, connection, and strength. You are deserving of support through life transitions, trauma, self-discovery, and self-esteem/trust building. This shit is hard, but together we can do hard things!

Do you find yourself wanting to live life more authentically and be true to yourself, but sometimes feel the need to put on a mask for others and act like everything's okay?
