Meet Our Clinicians
"A great team of clinicians is the heart of exceptional care—combining expertise, compassion, and dedication to transform lives every day."
Hailey Towe (Cornacchia)
MA, LAPC, Associate Licensed Counselor
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and empowering them to cultivate a stronger sense of self. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and adaptable, tailored to each person’s unique needs and experiences. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I have worked with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relational challenges, chronic stress, and major life transitions (such as college, career, parenthood/postpartum, personal growth, and LGBTQ+ identity exploration). I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults, guiding them in developing the skills and strategies needed to improve their well-being and quality of life. In therapy, I bring a warm, authentic, and supportive presence, and I believe in the power of humor and curiosity to create a safe, open space for exploration. I see the answers to life’s most pressing questions as already within you, and together, we’ll work to uncover them while resolving the conflicts that stand in your way. I earned my Master of Arts in Applied Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Outside of work, I love reading fantasy, romance, and psychological thrillers, spending time with my two cats, trying new recipes, and watching comfort movies.

It takes courage to reach out and try something new! It also takes courage to push beyond hopelessness and shame. The good news is there is hope beyond struggles, past the hurts, habits, and hang-ups of everyday life. With over 10 years of experience supporting individuals overcoming substance misuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, I empower individuals to shift their perspective, refocus pain, habits, and hang-ups into becoming their optimal self. I hold a doctorate in Christian Counseling & Psychology. I obtained my master’s in human services and addictions from Regent University, and a bachelor’s in Corporate Communications from Central Penn. Yes, I am a Board-Certified Christian Counselor, International Christian Chaplain, and Therapist. I hold designations in the treatment of anger management, grief and loss, and trauma, more specifically I specialize in working with women and men who have experienced trauma. I am also a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator, which affords me the ability to offer both pre and post marriage counseling. Working with Couples and families is an honor. I utilize an integrative strength-based approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a plethora of other therapy modalities to promote health and wellness on multiple levels. It is time to experience a life that offers you the experience of healing, restoration, and lasting change. If you are ready, I am here!
Whitney Lehman
MA, NCC, Counselor
I come from a background in education and am committed to the well-being of each individual I work with. I find it incredibly important that clients feel understood, safe, and respected. I believe that the success of the therapeutic process is contingent upon the client-counselor relationship and feel my person-centered approach helps me connect with clients and appreciate them for who they are. Recognizing that everyone has a unique story and life experiences, I use a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual's needs. I commonly draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Parts Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts, boost awareness of how emotions impact our functioning and provide healing to unresolved trauma. I hold a master’s degree from Messiah University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program and am certified to teach both regular and special education. Before moving into the mental health field, I spent eight years as an elementary special education teacher, supporting students with various disabilities. In my counseling practice, I love working with adolescents and emerging adults, helping them with self-discovery and identity development., however, I am honored to support individuals of all ages on their counseling journey. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, listening to podcasts, and reading.

MA, NCC, Counselor
I consider it a tremendous privilege to come along side and work with client in whatever season of life they are in. Aspiring to empathetically meet clients where they are, I offer a sincere and authentic counseling environment. I do not subscribe to one particular theory of counseling as I believe a more blended use of theories is beneficial in order to best suit the client’s needs. These evidence-based modalities are coupled with a therapeutic style that is specific to each person’s needs for a holistic approach. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Winebrenner Theological Seminary. In the counseling setting, I enjoy working with people in various stages of life. The counseling seeing has allowed me to gain experience working with youth, young adults, and adults in various seasons of life. Using evidence-based modalities, I work with a variety of issues including life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief, relational issues, including couples, ADHD (both children and adults), and complex trauma. In my time outside of the counseling setting, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and exploring new places. I also enjoy traveling with my family, but I also love spending time with family and friends at home too. Yoga and a good book next to a fire are my two favorite ways to unwind.
Cecilia Peters
MA, LPC (Telehealth Only)
I aim to engage with clients both empathically and holistically in my work within sessions. Being present with authentic listening and positive regard are two powerful aspects I use for building a healing relationship with each client. I believe therapy is a space for safety, honesty, and finding a connection with your deeper self. Together, we will create an environment for positive growth in your therapeutic process. Using a combination of evidence-based, therapeutic modalities, I will tailor treatment to fit your individual needs. Approaches I may use include Cognitive Behavioral, Strengths-Based, Play Therapy, and Person-Centered. ​ In conjunction with counseling work, I am entering a Doctoral program to become a Clinical Psychologist, Fall 2022. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State University. My experience in the mental health field has extended over the last five years. In that time, I have gained areas of specialty working with individuals facing challenges with ASD. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, meeting various challenges or stressors. I work with those of all ages dealing with anxiety, lowered self-esteem, depression, anger, life transitions, grief, etc. Outside of professional work, you can find me spending time with my dog and loved ones, traveling, hiking, painting, or baking.
Debra Belack
MA, LPC, NCC
I believe that maintaining and focusing on our mental health should be as normal as attending to our physical health, and just as important. Therapy is a way to work through the challenges of life, understand ourselves more fully, and work towards a place of wellness unique to each person. Therefore, I use multiple evidence-based modalities, coupled with a therapeutic style that is impartial, non-judgmental, and encouraging, specific to each person’s needs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a certification in the treatment of trauma. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bloomsburg University, with a concentration in Family, Children, and Youth, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As a therapist, I’ve supported individuals with addictions, life stressors/transitions, and multiple diagnoses such as depression and anxiety disorders in outpatient, inpatient, residential, school, and community settings. More specifically, I specialize in working with women, children, and people who have experienced trauma. In the past 15 years I have worked with over 2,000 children (infancy through adolescents) and their caregivers, as well individuals who have experienced trauma (i.e. sexual abuse, domestic violence, car accident, etc). I look forward to beginning a journey of healing with you!
