Brianna Wagner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Lehighton, PA


My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence into the therapy room, with the understanding that healing often begins in feeling seen, understood, and not alone.

Stacie Searle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Bethlehem, PA


I believe every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their life. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to slow down, feel understood, and find our way forward. My goal is to create that space—a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment, and where you can feel supported as you begin to understand yourself in new ways.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from age 5 through 90, and I believe every stage of life brings its own challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing what is “wrong” with you. It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, recognizing the strengths you already carry, and creating space for something different. I work collaboratively with each person I meet, tailoring our work to their needs, goals, and lived experience. My hope is that, together, we can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more confident in your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.

I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!
