Couples therapists in Erie, PA

I am a compassionate, approachable, and nonjudgmental therapist who strives to create a safe and supportive environment for every client. During our first session, I make it a priority to emphasize that therapy is a space free from judgment and blame. As human beings, we all experience challenges, setbacks, and mistakes throughout our lives, and I believe these experiences are a natural part of personal growth.

While I serve in the role of therapist, I do not view myself as superior to those I work with. Instead, I value collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful progress occurs when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment.

Honesty and transparency are central to my practice. Together, we will develop individualized goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and aspirations rather than pursuing a predetermined or "easy" path. I recognize that no one has all the answers, and I am committed to being honest when I do not know something. In those instances, I will make every effort to seek out accurate information and resources to best support your growth and well-being.

My goal is to work alongside you as a partner in your journey, helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

Taking the step to begin therapy takes courage, and I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation of meaningful change. I'm Dr. Kimberlee Kaercher, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and founder of Lumax Counseling Services, LLC. I hold a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology and a master's degree in counseling, and I have supported children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across school and clinical settings. I provide a professional, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel genuinely understood. My background is somewhat unique and informs everything I do. Years of experience as an educator and special education teacher, along with my training in forensic psychology, have given me a deep understanding of behavior, development, trauma, and the many factors that shape a person's life. I bring that perspective into the therapy room with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for the people I serve.

Whether you are working to strengthen your relationship, healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, facing the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. I would be glad to answer any questions you may have and to talk with you about how we might work together. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on the path toward healing and growth.

I’m Aiden, a Licensed Clinical Social worker that is specialize in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA affirming therapy. My clients would say that I am a warm and down-to-earth therapist that affirms and gives space for you to be yourself.

I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. If you're a couple, college student, industry leader, entrepreneur, or athlete, schedule a session with with me today!

Each day, I provide mental health services with a holistic approach, general wellness (elevated blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes management, weight management, GLP-1 prescriptions, stress management, and nutrition), psychotherapy, talk therapy, medication management (per request), and strong advocacy for FMLA (continuous time off from work or reduced work schedule).

You bring your goals and strengths and I’ll bring a fresh perspective and tools that empower. Integrating mindfulness, creative arts, or your spiritual practices enhances my pragmatic, behavioral approach. Bonus: Free weekly women’s virtual group forming.

I'm Jennifer, and I know that deciding to reach out takes real courage.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and built around what you specifically need. I'd love to be part of your story.
