Hailey Towe, MA, PreLicensed Counselor
I aim to help individuals adjust to life's many challenges and gently take steps towards developing an empowered sense of self. My therapeutic approach is a collaborative process creatively tailored to your unique needs and experiences. Using evidence-based practices, I have worked with a wide array of issues including depression and anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relational issues, chronic stress, and life transitions (grief, college, and LGBTQ+). Throughout my experience as a counselor I have found that I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults in developing the skills necessary to improve their quality of life.
I bring a warm, authentic, and directive approach to therapy welcoming the use of humor and encouraging curiosity. I have found that the questions people wrestle with reside already inside themselves. Together we will create a safe space to explore and discover those answers by helping you resolve conflicts that get in the way.
I recently graduated with my Master of Arts in Applied Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. In my free time you will often find me reading fantasy, romance, or psychological thrillers. I also enjoy hanging out with my two cats, learning to cook new foods, and watching comfort movies.
Shonyah Hawkins-Cottman, MA, BCCC, CTP, PreLicensed Counselor
I am a current Doctoral Candidate and Instructor at Dominion Theological Seminary pursuing my doctorates in Christian Counseling & Psychology. I obtained my master’s in human services and addictions from Regent University, my bachelor’s in Corporate Communications from Central Penn.
Yes, I am a Christian Counselor, Chaplain, and Therapist who utilizes an integrative strength-based approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a plethora of other therapy modalities to promote health and wellness on multiple levels. 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.
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. It is time to experience a life that is full where you experience healing, restoration, and lasting change. If you are ready, I am here!
Whitney Lehman, BS, Counseling Intern
I come from a background in education and am passionate about the well-being of all people. I find great importance in clients feeling understood, safe, and respected. I believe that the success of the therapeutic process is dependent on the client-counselor relationship. My person-centered approach allows me to build a connectedness with clients and appreciate them for who they are. I may also use techniques from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EBT) to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and promote awareness of how feelings influence our functioning.
I am currently a graduate student in Messiah University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program and will complete my master’s degree this upcoming fall. I also hold a bachelor’s degree and am dually certified to teach both regular and special education. Prior to entering the mental health field, I taught as an elementary special education teacher for 8 years where I supported the needs of students with various disabilities. In the counseling setting, I love working with older children and young adults, but am honored to walk alongside individuals of all ages through their counseling journey. Outside of my internship and coursework, I love spending time with family, listening to podcasts, and reading.
Christopher Brown, MDIV, BSW, PreLicensed Counselor
“I believe in the dignity and worth of all people and am especially passionate about men finding their passion and voice to strengthen and heal others. I have been blessed by spending time with some wonderful people from different cultures and walks of life that have walked with me on life's journey. Learning from these men and women in different countries and socio-economic backgrounds has shaped me and helped me be able to see people for who they are.”
Chris’s experience includes working with mental health in a variety of ways and believes in both the journey and the client’s need to experience success early on in reaching their goals for confidence and hope. Chris specializes in recovery treatment, general mental health, trauma discovery and healing, and spirituality development.
Chris and his family spent 7 years in East Africa and are grateful that their work is continuing there in the form of a football (soccer) club, spiritual training of community leaders and small groups, and various outreaches led by our national partners. Chris is fluent in Swahili. In his free time, Chris values family time and enjoys spending time with them on the weekends participating in sporting events, finding adventures, enjoying food and deep discussions.

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.

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!

My preferred client is anywhere between 13 years old all the way up through older adults. I enjoy working with people as they journey through the many transitions of life.
My undergraduate degree is in Christian Ministries which allows me to be able to integrate faith and spirituality issues into sessions if the client desires this.
