Anthony Locascio, MA, LPC, LBS, CAADC.
Anthony Locascio has been practicing therapy since 2014. Therapy is a collaborative experience where we work together on the reasons why you came to therapy. Through the growth and the development of the therapeutic relationship the reasons why you come to therapy can be explored in a safe and friendly environment so that you can become the person that you want to be.
I seek to further my understanding of the human condition which has lead to a deeper understanding of psychology and increased insight into human behavior. I have experience with substance abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, vocational counseling, relationship counseling as well as alcohol counseling.
I look forward to building a warm, friendly and professional relationship with you as a client. I encourage you to reach out to see if it is a good fit.
I am currently licensed as a licensed professional counselor in the states of PA, WV and AZ.

Carl Heffermehl, MA, LPC.
I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with individuals to help them with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, relationships, and interpersonal issues across their life. I mainly work with individuals, one-on-one, but have worked with couples and families, and troubled populations like youth on probation. My goal is to help individuals find a balance in their life where they are able to reduce their mental health stress/impact, and their overall life stress, by establishing and implementing healthy balance, coping skills, and boundaries in their life to improve not only their life, but their sense of self.
I have the most experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse and interpersonal relationships, I also have experience with ADHD, paranoia, bi-polar, and schizophrenia. I use modality’s such as CBT, person-centered, solution-focused, interpersonal, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help individuals identify/challenge negative behaviors and patterns in their life.
My approach to therapy is just being myself, a welcoming, humorous, and empathetic person who loves to help others as a whole. I do this to help build a great, deep, and real relationship with my clients, and establish trust and help us work together to challenge/break down the struggles they are facing, and build themselves back up to who they want to be now.
Nicholas Chasler , MS, LPC.
– Nicole LePera
This idea is at the heart of how I see people. Many who come to therapy carry quiet shame about the ways they cope or the parts of themselves that feel confusing or hard to live with. Often, those parts developed out of necessity. In our work together, we take time to understand them with care and patience, rather than trying to push them away. I often work with people who feel overwhelmed by their inner world or disconnected from themselves. Some are living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, dissociation, or questions about identity and belonging. Many are neurodivergent or have spent years masking in order to fit in. Therapy becomes a place where you do not have to hide or explain yourself, and where your experiences are taken seriously. My approach is flexible and shaped by IFS informed work, Somatic Experiencing practices, attachment focused therapy, CBT, and DBT. More than any specific method, I focus on building a relationship that feels steady and respectful. I believe change happens when you feel safe enough to slow down and listen to yourself in a new way. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Millersville University and have worked in inpatient and outpatient care, community mental health, corrections, and child focused settings. These experiences have taught me how important it is to meet people where they are and to move at a pace that feels manageable. In sessions, I aim to offer a space that feels calm and genuine. You do not need to have the right words or know where to start.
Outside of therapy, I am a fiction writer with a long standing interest in identity and change. That same curiosity and care carries into my work as a therapist, supporting people as they find their own understanding of who they are and who they are becoming.
