Agnes Lepicka MA LCPC (Agnieszka Lepicka). I am a Polish and English speaking Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have extensive experience in providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adults, adolescents, and children. My approach is supportive, authentic, and evidence-based. I have extensive experience treating adolescents, ADHD, learning differences, parent-child conflict, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, social training, trauma and life transitions.

Do you identify as neuordivergent? Do you struggle with working with neurotypical providers? Well, I am a neuro-diversity affirming therapist and I know that the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health just does not work- this is why I offer a variety of personalized therapeutic services. I have a particular affinity working with neurodivergents. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults who are struggling with acceptance, social anxiety, developing friendships, motivation, executive functioning, boundaries, and the list goes on.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over ten years of experience working with individuals, couples, families and children, contending with a wide range of issues, from mild adjustment difficulties to more chronic issues. I believe that a successful therapy experience occurs within a unique therapist-client relationship that is safe,collaborative, empowering and person focused. I draw from a range of treatment approaches to tailor treatment based on the presenting problem, current research, and the specific life circumstances and personal attributes that are unique to my clients.

My counseling philosophy is based on the idea that connection is the most important factor in healing. Getting to know a patient in therapy is an adventure. It’s a journey that often starts at the time of the initial phone conversation. The road takes us through peaks and valleys neither side predicted. I use my personality, mind, and spirit to understand the needs of my clients. These instruments encourage building a relationship in which we can collaborate to reach goals.

I understand that seeking counseling can be intimidating and may create many fears. This is why it is important to me to provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment. I appreciate client's efforts and attempts to help themselves and I'm proud to be part of that process. I invite each client to be involved in the process of goal setting and treatment planning, which is specifically designed to each individual, based on their symptoms, needs and past experiences. Therapy is a process during which I address not only your symptoms but also any additional life stressors and challenges.

Congratulations! You are looking into therapy and contemplating making changes in your life. Effective counseling not only can change the mind but can change the brain as well. Counseling can support the building of new neuron connections! Researchers discovered that the human brain has the ability to change throughout an individual’s life. That process is called “neuroplasticity,” Neuroplasticity can be affected by life experiences, genes, and by behavior as well as thought patterns. I can assist you in exploring what led you here and how to make changes to feel better.

We deserve lives that are free of constant emotional turmoil, and therapy can be a way to process unwanted memories, emotions, and thoughts.

Being able to discuss our current challenges calls for a supportive conversation. Often these challenges contribute to depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflicts if not addressed. I work with individuals from all walks of life whether you are looking for individual, couples, or group counseling; I will ensure that your voice is heard.

I help individuals overcome obstacles and difficulties that keep them from reaching their desired goals and living lives that are marked by peace, meaning, and freedom. I try to do this in a collaborative and respectful manner—in the context of a therapeutic relationship. In this relationship, I seek to explore, process, and resolve challenging and often painful life experiences that have contributed to the development of unhelpful psychological dynamics (e.g., thinking patterns, emotional responses, and interpersonal habits) that cause distress and that negatively impact various parts daily life.

Sometimes we get stuck in life. We can feel lonely and may not fully determine where our pain is coming from. Through non-judgmental and objective listening, I will help you define the issues you might be facing, that prevent you from living to your fullest. Through a trusting relationship with you, I will guide and empower you by creatively solving your problems and achieving your goals. I will offer you the tools that will help you deal with the current problems that you may be facing, as well as problems that might arise in the future.
