Ashley McAndrew

Life is not always black and white. I am here to help provide you with the tools to be the driving force behind creating your own narrative. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, going through a life change or just feeling stuck, no concern is too small to take the leap and begin your therapeutic journey.

Through my person-centered approach, I can utilize a combination of talk and art therapy to help engage individuals in a nontraditional way. I have helped children, adolescents, and adults by giving them the necessary tools to openly communicate their struggles in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

It is important that every individual feels heard and seen in order to create a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe change and growth occur after a strong relational foundation is built. I strongly believe that together we can work to begin taking control of your own life back and strive toward creating the best version of yourself.

Luxaida J. Hernandez-Hierro

You may be at a moment where life feels so heavy that you’ve lost your way and everything seems to have lost meaning. When the exhaustion runs deep and you no longer recognize yourself in your relationships, in your work, or even within yourself.

If this is how you’re feeling today, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I’m speaking to you, who has carried this weight for far too long and feels it has slowly dimmed you, stealing your clarity, your energy, and your ability to be yourself in the spaces you once inhabited with ease.

My heart is set on offering warm, close, and client-centered support, integrating evidence-based approaches. I deeply believe that every person carries within them a story that deserves to be explored with respect and care.

From a place of empathy, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity, I have accompanied people from diverse backgrounds in processing past experiences and reconnecting with their inner strength.

My intention is to offer you a safe space where you can be yourself, without masks or judgment. Together, we will find the roots of the lack of confidence, the lost emotional balance, the damaged relationships, and the anxiety that today feels unmanageable.

Español:

Hay momentos en los que la vida se vuelve tan pesada que te pierdes. El cansancio se profundiza y ya no te reconoces en tus relaciones, en tu trabajo, ni en ti mismo/a. Si hoy te sientes así, quiero que sepas que no tienes que cargarlo solo/a

Te hablo a ti, que has sostenido este peso por demasiado tiempo y sientes que te ha ido apagando, robándote la claridad, la energía y la capacidad de ser tú en los espacios que antes habitabas con facilidad.

Mi corazón está puesto en ofrecer un acompañamiento cálido, cercano y centrado en ti, integrando enfoques basados en evidencia. Creo profundamente que cada persona lleva dentro una historia que merece ser explorada con respeto y cuidado.

Desde un lugar de empatía, autenticidad y sensibilidad cultural, he acompañado a personas de diversos trasfondos a procesar experiencias pasadas y a reconectar con su fortaleza interna.

Mi intención es ofrecerte un espacio seguro donde puedas ser tú, sin caretas ni juicios. Juntas/os encontraremos las raíces de la falta de confianza, del equilibrio emocional perdido, de las relaciones deterioradas y de la ansiedad que hoy se siente inmanejable.

Christina Busch

With over 21 years of experience in behavioral health settings, Christine (she/her) has cultivated a deep understanding of the complexities that shape our mental and emotional well-being. She is passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported during the therapeutic process.

Christine believes that the challenges we face are often intertwined with larger societal issues. That's why she integrates the Liberation Health Model into her practice—helping clients explore how their personal struggles may be connected to broader social, cultural, and systemic factors. This perspective empowers individuals to gain deeper insight into their experiences and take control of their healing in a shame-reducing manner.

In therapy, she utilizes a combination of evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), parts work, narrative therapy and somatic interventions. These modalities are customized depending on the client's needs, allowing you to address trauma, internal conflicts, and emotional wounds in ways that foster healing and integration. She enjoys working with people of all ages that have experienced trauma, and those with alternative lifestyles. All parts of you and all types of people are welcome here!

Ultimately, she views therapy as a journey of self-discovery—a process in which you are the expert of your own life. Her role is to support you in navigating that journey, empowering you to reconnect with your true self, develop resilience, and create lasting change.

In her free time she loves reading, making art, travel, gardening, going to see live music, completing DIY projects, spending time with her two teens, and engaging in a wide variety of self-care activities.

Danielle Dow

Danielle believes that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and empowerment. Specializing in healthier relationships for children, teens, and adults, Danielle tailors her approach to address unique needs such as anxiety, grief, and self-esteem. By integrating creative and evidence-based techniques, she fosters meaningful change in a supportive environment.

In her sessions, clients feel inspired to celebrate their strengths and confront challenges with courage. With Danielle’s guidance, they embrace their stories and step into the empowered lives they deserve. Together, they embark on a transformative journey toward resilience and self-discovery.

Passionate about planting seeds of resilience, Danielle is committed to helping clients realize how their story can become their strength. Danielle's approach integrates a person-centered, holistic perspective anchored in the mind-body connection.

With certifications in trauma, eating disorder treatment, and self-compassion, she integrates trauma-informed principles into her therapeutic work, ensuring that clients feel safe, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey. Her modality aims to help clients find balance with mindful movement and intuitive eating, overcome body fears, and establish the link between their emotional and physical symptoms.

Bridging the mind-body connection spans beyond ED treatment, and is one of many tools Danielle integrates in sessions. Whether clients struggle with grief, mood disorders, self-esteem, or trauma, her background in motivational interviewing, usage of dialectical behavioral tools, narrative therapeutic approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques enhances her ability to foster client engagement and facilitate meaningful change.

Outside of her clinical work, Danielle loves painting, reading fantasy fiction novels, joyful movement, and cuddling with her dog, Joy.

Nicholas Coleman

Nick believes that the therapeutic process is a journey that begins with meeting the client exactly where they are in their healing process. By working collaboratively, Nick helps clients identify patterns and cycles that keep them feeling stuck. While the desire to eliminate unwanted thoughts and emotions may seem tempting, such attempts often lead to avoidant behaviors that feel beyond the client’s control. Instead, Nick encourages clients to accept that deeper emotions are valid responses to certain situations. This acceptance can foster inner peace, empowering clients to commit to meaningful changes in their lives.

Nick's approach focuses on helping clients regain a sense of agency, enabling them to take the driver's seat in their own lives while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to remain as passengers, rather than the ones in control. He believes that a meaningful life is one that aligns with the client’s unique values. By identifying and clarifying those values, Nick guides clients in using them as a compass for navigating life’s challenges. The ultimate goal is to shift from decision-making driven by avoidance to making choices that create a life worth living.

Nick utilizes an eclectic approach, with an emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to support clients in this transformative process.

Outside of work, Nick enjoys spending quality time with his partner and family. He often takes weekend trips that range from hiking, concerts and beach outings to exploring different amusement parks. At home, he likes to unwind with a good book or relax while watching a wide variety of TV shows and movies.

Shania Kelly

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here!

Beginning therapy takes courage, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth and compassion, offering tools, perspective, and a non-judgmental space to explore what matters most to you.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and groups, with a special focus on supporting women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. Many of my clients seek support around anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, workplace burnout, identity development, family conflict, and navigating the impact of cultural, racial, or health-related stress.

My approach is person-centered, holistic, and mindfulness-based. I integrate trauma-informed and strength-focused practices that honor the whole person.. mind, body, and environment. In our work together, we’ll explore your story with curiosity and care, build resilience, and develop strategies that fit your unique needs.

Whether you are seeking short-term support or long-term growth, my hope is that you leave our sessions feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself. Therapy with me isn’t about being told who to be.. it’s about rediscovering your strengths, honoring your journey, and creating space for healing and balance.

Kiley Rogan

You deserve a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I offer a safe, compassionate, welcoming environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences through both talk therapy and art therapy. I believe everyone has unique strengths, and that healing often happens when we’re met with understanding, a listening ear, and meaningful ways to express ourselves — whether through conversation, creativity, or a combination of both.

I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions, with a focus on self-expression, insight, and growth. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and supported as they move toward greater balance and well-being.

Remy

Our practice mascot - Remy!

Remy was found by a good samaritan at a bus stop in Texas. He was being taken care of in an overcrowded facility when Michelle Zapotoski came across his profile online. Michelle was able to adopt him and the rescue organization transported him all the way to PA. It was love at first treat!

In a therapy session, you can expect to be greeted by Remy when you get here. After that he typically will lay on his bed. He is also sensitive to crying and will take it upon himself to be a canine tissue for you if you would like! If not, Remy can be kept on a leash with Michelle for the session. He has been through a lot in his short life and we are so grateful to have him with us everyday!
