LGBT therapists in Pennsylvania

Life comes at us fast. It seems as if things can be flipped upside down in seconds. That is where I come in.

I am Amy Wieder, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with around 20 years of experience in mental health, from crisis intervention and inpatient behavioral health to private outpatient practice. I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

I work primarily with women — especially those navigating mid-life — and teenagers 15 and up. I have a special place in my heart for those working through grief. I bring education, professional experience, and real-life experience to every session.

I can guarantee that at some point I will make you laugh :o)

Welcome. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing high-quality, evidence-based care in outpatient settings. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.

With over 10 years of experience in community health, trauma and crisis management, I have developed a strong ability to meet clients where they are, delivering real-time feedback and interventions tailored to their unique circumstances. I have worked with individuals ranging from age 3 to 75, bringing a lifespan perspective to my practice. My experience as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst has positively impacted my use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with solution-focused strategies to empower clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked with a diversity of clients. I am here to listen, validate, challenge, support and work with you on your therapeutic goals.

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.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical & Counseling Psychology and experience working with individuals, couples, teens, and families. I specialize in anxiety, mood-related challenges, communication issues, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, grounded space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
