Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


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.

Luke Hayslip

Luke Hayslip

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


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.
