Do you need Saturday hours? I am available most Saturday mornings to help you fit therapy into your busy life! I have 21 years of counseling experience with multiple populations.

All parts are welcome! Do you ever feel like you have different parts of yourself that are struggling with each other and preventing you from moving ahead? Deep down inside of us we have inherent wisdom it is only a matter of tapping into that wisdom as a resource for healing. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been practicing since various clinical settings. My background includes training in addiction, EMDR, psychodrama, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also integrate narrative therapy, art-based interventions, and Internal Family Systems in order to creatively integrate those parts of self that need attention and healing. True healing can accelerate in a relationship that is non-judgmental, accepting and warm and I seek to offer these aspects in my approach. You don’t have to carry the heavy burdens of your life alone- we can walk this road together!

Therapist

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.

Jason Herwick

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Since 2013, I’ve helped clients overcome social anxiety, gaming addiction, and substance abuse—while also developing emotional intelligence and building healthier relationships. I understand firsthand how internet culture, modern relationships, and existential doubt shape our struggles. My approach is direct but empathetic, balancing honesty with actionable solutions to help you take control of your life.

If you're stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, blackpilling, or social withdrawal, I can help you break free. We’ll work on improving emotional communication, navigating online and offline relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is engaging, sometimes humorous, but always focused on real growth. I minimize worksheets and prioritize evidenced-based solutions. I utilize ACT, REBT and CBT to help you identify issues and create lasting change. I also draw from my academic background in existential philosophy and critical theory. I'm a genuine, goofy but direct person, I like having real conversations and I offer free consultations.
