Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Reading, PA

My name is Nick Seyko, I have worked in the mental health field for ten years now. As a mental health professional I have seven years of experience working in residential, clinical, and non profit community mental health settings. I also have three years of experience providing therapy to individuals ages 5 - 60.

I received my undergraduate degree from Thiel college (2016), where I majored in Psychology, Sociology, and Criminal Justice. I then went on to get my Masters degree in Social from Walden University (2021) and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (2026).

I am an aspiring musician who loves movies, music, and love fantasy books. I became a counselor to help myself and others better understand feeelings and to be more present and get more out of life. I believe therapy is most effective when it is connective and personal.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, I'll meet you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical support. With more than 13 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults across diverse settings, helping people navigate trauma, addiction, life transitions, and a wide range of mental health challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself and supported enough to move forward.

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.

A little bit about me—I’m a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs. I offer a variety of ways for us to work together, whether you prefer traditional talk therapy, incorporating creative expression through art, or a combination of both. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings with people from many different backgrounds and stages of life. Those experiences have shaped my approach and reinforced the importance of meeting each person where they are. While I enjoy working with adults across the lifespan, I’ve found that I’m especially passionate about supporting older teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the many uncertainties that can come with this stage of life.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin? You do not have to figure it all out alone. I create a space where you can feel safe, understood, and genuinely heard. I support clients navigating relational trauma, ADHD, communication, boundaries, life transitions, first generation experiences, cultural concerns, addiction, reproductive mental health, and neurodivergence. I also work with couples and provide support for BIPOC and Latinx clients navigating the unique challenges of identity and culture.

You bring your goals and strengths and I’ll bring a fresh perspective and tools that empower. Integrating mindfulness, creative arts, or your spiritual practices enhances my pragmatic, behavioral approach. Bonus: Free weekly women’s virtual group forming.

Starting therapy can give you a place to talk openly and be met with care. I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Pennsylvania, and I offer talk therapy for clients who want support as they make sense of what brings them to care.

I believe that mental health care should begin with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can be open and honest about what you are experiencing.
