Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Harrisburg, PA

I've spent more than two decades helping people find clarity, resilience, and hope. My love for nature and animals reminds me daily of the importance of presence, patience, and kindness, qualities I bring into every session. I strive to create a space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

Sessions with me feel like working with a teammate, not an expert handing down answers. We'll name what's getting in your way, build practical tools for between sessions, and lean on strengths you already have but may not see right now. Progress here looks like steadier days and more room to breathe.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and Colorado. I received my undergraduate degree from West Chester University and my graduate degree from Immaculata University. I have over 6 years of experience in the behavioral health field, working in both outpatient and school-based settings.

My practice provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. I support individuals who want to develop coping skills and techniques to better manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being, while seeking understanding and validation for their experiences and practical guidance on how to navigate their daily lives more effectively. Common goals may include reducing anxiety or depressive symptoms, improving attention and focus, enhancing social skills and relationships, or overcoming past traumas.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania. I specialize in treating trauma, late diagnosed autistics and ADHDers, and the LGBTQ+ community. I use DBT, CBT, MI, and EMDR mainly for my modalities

Wonderful to Meet You!

I'm so glad you are here to prioritize your mental health! As a clinical psychologist, I believe in whole health, including both mind and body and their connection. With over 15 years of experience providing clinical care, I specialize in treating sleep difficulties, depression, anxiety, PTSD, coping with health conditions and empowering individuals to feel their best selves.

I am Victoria Cruse Motter, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of issues, including family conflicts, anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, substance use, chronic stress, trauma and PTSD, and women’s issues. My background includes providing counseling in various settings, such as schools, autism centers, pre-schools, juvenile justice programs, and residential group homes for youth in CYS custody. I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling from Pennsylvania State University.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin? You do not have to figure it all out alone. I create a space where you can feel safe, understood, and genuinely heard. I support clients navigating relational trauma, ADHD, communication, boundaries, life transitions, first generation experiences, cultural concerns, addiction, reproductive mental health, and neurodivergence. I also work with couples and provide support for BIPOC and Latinx clients navigating the unique challenges of identity and culture.

Above all, I offer a space where you can show up fully without judgment, and without pressure. I bring warmth, honesty, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. If you're looking for therapy that honors your story and supports real inner work, I’d be happy to walk alongside you.

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.

I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
