I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania, but residing in Florida since 2023. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals suffering from mental health and substance use disorders. I also specialize in trauma and offer a very warm, caring approach. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, know that you don't have to carry this alone. I offer a warm, nurturing space where your journey—mind, body, and spirit—is held with compassion. Instead of just focusing on the past, we’ll work together to find your inner resources and create small, tangible steps toward a life that feels lighter and more aligned with your values.

Dr. Kimberlee Kaercher

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


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.

Debra Bennett

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


After decades in healthcare, including years in hospice and palliative care, I learned something that shapes everything about how I work: the most powerful thing I can offer is simply to be present. Not to fix, not to explain away, and not to pretend I fully understand what you are going through. But to stay with you in whatever you are carrying, without rushing, without judgment, for as long as it takes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. My years in hospice prepared me to hold space for people in the most difficult moments of their lives, and that experience is what I bring to therapy now. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, living with chronic pain, carrying trauma, grieving a loss, or burning out from caregiving, you do not have to make it more manageable for the people around you. You just have to show up.

One small note: I have a chronic pain condition myself, so you may see me reposition during our sessions. I mention it upfront so you can focus on yourself rather than wondering.

Sometimes, the hardest part is admitting that something in your life isn't working anymore. Maybe you're repeating patterns you promised yourself you'd change, feeling overwhelmed by things that used to feel manageable, or struggling to find your footing after a difficult experience. You may know you want something different without knowing how to get there. Therapy gives us the opportunity to look honestly at what's happening, understand what's keeping you stuck, and figure out what moving forward could look like for you.
