The majority of my clients come to me with symptoms that respond well to LENS Neurofeedback therapy.

LENS Neurofeedback is also increasingly being used in addictions treatment as it improves motivation and self-esteem.

Are you a member of a neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+ community seeking a therapist who gets it? Are you tired of navigating spaces that don't affirm your identities or align with the way you thrive as a human? Do you need support with school, relationships, life experiences - and solutions that actually work for you?

I'm a licensed therapist with over 10 years in the mental health field. I gained my therapeutic skills as a school counselor, school based mental health clinician, and private practice work. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families on issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, adjustments/transitions, and other mental health concerns. I'm here to help my clients meet their goals by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where they feel respected and accepted.

Our lives can be a beautiful albeit messy adventure. Sometimes, we find ourselves struggling & need to reach out for help. I offer an encompassed approach to counseling, customizing the experience for adults, children, teens, families, & couples. If you are struggling with depression or are dealing with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety or self-esteem problems, we can chart a client specific course to wellness. If at home, you are dealing with issues in your marriage/partnership, Domestic Violence (verbal, physical, financial, or emotional abuse) or have suffered sexual trauma, we can work together to find safe solutions.

With experience as both a school and clinical counselor, I have worked extensively with young children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, growth, future planning, grief, domestic violence, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. My approach is rooted in a trauma-informed and inclusive perspective with a strong emphasis on the importance of creativity and play exercises, explorations, and therapies with younger children. I have run small group counseling experiences for children to help nurture and grow healthy, positive coping mechanisms and to build lifelong skills!

Client's who work best with me are often not the clients who know exactly what they want or need in therapy, though that can be very helpful. Often they are simply people who recognise a need for help and are willing to engage in the process. You can go to any competent clinician and they should be able to support you with basic skills. What I draw out of people is not only what they want and need, but their strengths and special aspects that make them who they are in order to work through to a point where they can make healthy choice and live their "best life."

My ideal client is someone who is ready for new results. I love helping people create what is really important for their life, and I am committed to being someone who can push them to have it. The most successful couples I work with have struggled with infidelity, considered divorce, or lost the fireworks in their marriage. The most successful individuals I work with have struggled with anxiety, addiction, intimacy issues, death/loss, or finding a purpose. All of my clients who succeed are open to exploring new ideas and hungry for change. Our conversations are action-oriented and results driven. Most of our sessions are fun.

My name is Emily Miller, and I have a passion to help other's improve their overall quality of life. I have a vast array of experience from working with youth, people experiencing homelessness and who struggle with addictions and many other mental health/life challenges. I want to meet each individual where they are at, and create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing.

Hello, I am Zach Craddock, a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA). I attended Edinboro University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest Edinboro) and earned a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. As a practicing counselor, I have had the opportunity to help individuals through difficult times in their lives. I pride myself on building an open and safe environment for people to explore and gain the tools to rebuild or strengthen their mental health.

Everyone has a story. Sometimes the story has a happy ending, but often it is a journey filled with ups and downs. You or your child’s story may include depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or family and relationship issues. Therapy is a great place to start processing your unique story. Talking in a confidential, supportive space can provide the perspective needed to heal and to find hope and clarity again.

I am passionate about walking alongside both people in their healing journeys towards transformation and wholeness. I have experience assisting those suffering from trauma, sports injuries, car accidents, recent trauma's, CPTSD and PTSD, anxiety, ADHD and life stressors in their journey toward healing. I enjoy having sessions both outdoors in nature and at the office based off of your individual needs or desires. I would love to come alongside you and assist you in your healing journey.

Everyone has times in their life that they need to talk to someone. Throughout my career, I have worked with a broad range of people-children, individuals, and couples. I understand what it is like to be in search of answers. I recognize that anxiety and stress impact families as well as individuals. My life experiences have taught me to look at each client as an individual with their own needs and strengths. I believe that therapy can help us find specific solutions to our problems- whether those struggles are internal, external, personal, or relationally oriented.

Do you find yourself struggling with frequent worries, anxiety, depression, memories from the past? You want to move forward, live freely, and truly enjoy life, work, and meaningful relationships with others. You have goals you want to achieve and are tired of feeling held back. Through reflection you realize that many of these struggles are tied to the past... perhaps to childhood experiences, unhealthy relationships, trauma, or past difficult situations you went through. Perhaps you can't even quite identify the reason, you just feel a heavy emotional burden and that something is holding you back.

Accepting New Clients! If you're struggling with relationships, parenthood, or emotional dysregulation, welcome :) I enjoy working with people who want to gain a greater understanding of themselves, process generational trauma, understand the difficult dynamics of adult child-parent relationships, or parenting your own children. Where we've come from tells us a lot about what we need, and I love helping people understand their "why".
