Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Newtown, PA

I am a CRNP, fully trained to care for your Mental Health needs. I worked as a Psych Nurse for Nine years. I am a Wilkes University Alumni.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, conflicted, or simply worn down by everything life is asking of you? Maybe you’re dealing with relationship or family conflict, struggling to make sense of a major life change, or carrying emotional pain that you’ve been trying to manage on your own. I’m Susan Katz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. My own professional life has taken many different paths, including education, ministry, corporate leadership, and social work, which has given me a broad perspective on the many ways life can challenge us. I bring that perspective into therapy with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide individualized psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, and other mental health concerns. With extensive experience in psychiatric nursing and diverse clinical settings.

I have been in the field for a little over 7 years. I enjoy helping others meet the goals they have for themselves. I have been licensed in the state of PA for 2 years, I am trained in trauma counseling and drug and alcohol counseling but I have worked with individuals who have day to day stress and those who have mental health disorders.

Helping people heal and grow is my goal.

For me, therapy is not just a profession but a calling – a way to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

As a compassionate therapist, I genuinely care about helping people heal from challenges and experience growth.

I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and PCIT (Parent-Child Interactive Therapy), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work closely with clients to address trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges using proven therapy models.

Welcome to Parts and Patterns Psychotherapy, PLCC. I have spent 5 years working with individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, intimate relationship conflict, complex trauma, life transitions, chronic anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, BPD, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, vocational stress, and more. My experience has taught me that while every person’s story is unique, our need for connection and agency is universal.

​I hold a Master’s in Community Agency Counseling from Hampton University. Beyond my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing training in neurobiology and trauma-informed care. This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I look at how your nervous system is responding to the world around you.

Welcome. Taking the first step toward support is not always easy, and I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and I’ve been working in mental health since 2007. My background includes inpatient and outpatient therapy, drug and alcohol treatment, correctional settings, foster care, and work with children and families. This diverse experience allows me to approach each person with understanding, flexibility, and care.

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.
