Therapists in York, PA

Everyone deserves to slow down, connect, and grow. I believe therapy helps us do that. If you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, depression or intense emotions, change is possible. I specialize in working with Anxiety and Mood Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and impulse control disorders including the overuse of technology when it interferes with your daily life. My goal is to help you gain insights into patterns and behaviors you want to change, live a life in line with your values, and be present for what matters most.

A person centered, strengths based approach to helping you discover a healthier emotional life is what guides my practice. A variety of hurts, traumas, relationships and experiences shape who you become. Sometimes you need someone to help process how to break free from the negative experiences and find a new path. I recognize that people benefit from being heard and validated. This becomes the basis of a supportive therapeutic relationship allowing for gentle, supportive challenges to change. This may include EMDR. I want to be able to meet you where you're at, helping you change your life in the way you feel would benefit you.

I am dedicated to my clients and the work we do together. I work with children as young as 2 years old through the well seasoned adult years.

Sibling detachment is a program in which I work with siblings that have detached, or never attached to one another. The focus of this program is to facilitate and support of a healthy bond.

I believe that every client is an individual with their own story, their own unique needs, and their own inherent strengths. When I meet with a client, I strive to know them as a person and to create a plan for their treatment that will grow their strengths as they heal and walk the next steps of their journey. Fritz Counseling Services is a an outgrowth of my commitment to reaching into my community to meet individuals who are seeking someone to provide guidance and support as they prepare to face the challenges and changes that will move them towards being their fullest selves.

Hi! I'm Stachia (Stay-sha) and I am a trauma-focused, gender affirming therapist who is passionate about providing high quality therapy services. I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities, allowing me to be flexible in my approach in working with you to help you be your best self.

I integrate expressive arts and evidence-based therapeutic practices. I emphasize change and choice through dance and therapeutic practices, awakening the conscious, exploring the past to bridge client’s experiences to their present self. I aim to help clients reconnect to their authentic self by finding compassion, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom and inner strength. This connection reintegrates the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects into the client’s new narrative.

One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.

I believe that everyone deserves to live their best life. I strive to provide a safe space for healing from earlier wounds, and help reveal the truths that lead to living authentically.

You’ve been feeling like something is “off” for a while now. You constantly feel unmotivated, without direction, sad, anxious and lost. It seems like your friends and everyone around you is happier and more together. Do you ask yourself why life seems so hard for you? You are lonely and feel like no one understands. Maybe you’ve reached out for help before. Therapy wasn’t helpful. You talked to a well-meaning someone who told you to do something: get fit, make more friends, ‘put yourself out there,’ pray more. At this point you don’t want advice, you just want to be heard and seen for who you are.
