Therapist

Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Pittsburgh

Finding family therapists in Pittsburgh starts with naming what your family wants support with. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication across generations, or relationship strain between partners and parents. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, parent-teen support, couples counseling for parents, or other concerns that match your situation.

In a mid-sized city like Pittsburgh, you may find family counselors in Pittsburgh, PA with offices near your neighborhood, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Pennsylvania. In-person sessions may fit families who prefer a shared office setting, while virtual care can make it easier for family members in different locations or with different schedules to attend. Session structure can also vary — some sessions may include the full family, while others may include parents, siblings, couples, or one family member. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Family counseling in Pittsburgh, PA can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who focus on family issues, review estimated costs before booking, and see who is accepting new patients. You can compare bios, filter by insurance and appointment type, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
