About Us | Premier Counseling

Our Story

Premier Counseling & Consulting was founded in 2024 with a clear mission: to provide high-quality, evidence-based outpatient therapy to individuals in our local community and throughout Pennsylvania. After spending over a decade working in the mental health field across various settings, our founder recognized the need for accessible, compassionate, and effective mental health services tailored to the unique needs of each person.

What began as a private practice focused on outpatient therapy quickly evolved. Our deep-rooted passion for working with youth and vulnerable populations inspired us to expand our services. Today, Premier Counseling & Consulting is proud to offer a range of therapeutic supports designed to meet clients where they are—whether they’re navigating life transitions, coping with mental health challenges, or seeking tools for long-term growth and resilience.

At Premier, we believe in the power of connection, clinical excellence, and community. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where healing and hope can thrive.
