With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges, I know how difficult the decision to seek help can often be. I have helped clients with issues from day-to-day stressors to the complexities of serious mental illness and addiction. I work with clients 13+ with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, and compulsive behavior, among others.
I specialize in working with Christians who desire to integrate their faith into their treatment. This brings the best in evidence-based practice in line with the essential role of faith in their lives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is queer and autistic/ADHD. I love the arts and spirituality, and enjoy working with kids and young adults the most. The populations I specialize working with include individuals identifying as non-manogomous, neurodivergent, trans/queer, and most other alt/weird/unique/geeky/nerdy folx. Mindfulness is an important aspect of therapy for my practice, as is creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe for marginalized groups.
I have more than 15 years of experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while fostering strong therapeutic relationships with my patients.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from York College of Pennsylvania in 2005, my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Drexel University in 2016, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University in 2025.
In addition to my clinical practice, I currently serve as the Director of the Nurse Practitioner Program at York College of Pennsylvania. In this role, I am dedicated to preparing the next generation of advanced practice nurses while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.
I am passionate about empowering patients through education and shared decision-making. By building meaningful rapport and taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs, I help children, adolescents, and adults explore personalized treatment options and make informed decisions about their mental health care
What is your approach to therapy?
I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative partnership tailored to your unique story. My style is warm, holistic, and integrative. Because I am trained in both Clinical Social Work and Christian Theology (Masters of Divinity), I view health through a wide lens—considering not just your thoughts and behaviors, but also your values, your community, and the physical way your body carries stress.
My goal is to help you move from a place of "just getting by" to a place where you feel grounded, resilient, and authentically yourself.
Hi there! My name is Alyssa Pratt, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) located in Carlisle, PA. I studied at Messiah University and earned a master's degree in Couple, Marriage & Family Therapy. I work primarily with children, youth, young adults, & families, and I specialize in trauma. It is an honor to help clients process the past in order to find healing for the future.
My name is Leilani and I’m a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe feeling heard is just as important as any treatment plan. My background in both primary care and mental health, along with my experience as a military veteran and spouse, helps me understand how stress, health, and life experiences are often deeply intertwined. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life transitions, and I take time to listen before offering guidance. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where we can talk things through together and move forward in a way that feels manageable and right for you.
Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.
As a professional, mother, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting emotional wellness.
I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I have completed the Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) training through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This advanced training has expanded my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, gut health, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that can complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated into care and are intended to support—not replace—evidence-based psychiatric treatment, including medication management, psychotherapy, and collaborative care.
Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who takes a whole-person approach to mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.
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.
