Find a therapist in Bethlehem, PA — covered by insurance

Hello! I’m Shel (he/she/they), a white genderfluid therapist working in a systemic lens of individual therapy. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and people of the global majority. I have training in CPTSD-focused mindful psychodynamic therapy, IFS and working with people who use substances. My degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy, so I bring a relational perspective to individual therapy. I use compassion, warmth, and humor to create a non-judgmental and open space for healing. I believe through healing past trauma and building a connection to one’s intuition/wise mind and community, we can withstand hardship in the path of liberation and empowerment of all people.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist specializing in maternal mental health. Perhaps you had your first baby and find yourself overwhelmed with the transition of taking care of a newborn. Or maybe you are a mom of 3 and find yourself feeling depressed and anxious. From my clinical experience spanning over a decade, as well as my personal experience as a mom, I can help you gain tools to manage your emotions and get stronger as a mom.

I began my company, "Color of Change: Healing and Hope Counseling," because let's face it, today, the world is moving at a rapid pace, often leaving individuals spinning with less time to breathe or practice self-care and self-reflection, or addressing their personal, family, marital, and spiritual needs. You can be provided with direction and clarity to slow life's experiences, allowing you to focus on your individual needs and those within your support system or sphere of influence. The world is unrecognizable and unsettling to many, and adjusting has become challenging to navigate and adapt to the fast, complicated, and radical internal and external changes. The role of a therapist is to help you find yourself and your strengths amid life's emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual, and physical challenges. As you partner with your therapist, you embark on a path to thrive in the face of changes and difficulties.

Therefore, this therapist/clinician (Dr. Myria) needs to meet all clients where they are. Dr. Myria works intensely to provide a safe place where clients can openly share and speak the truth. Each person deserves support in navigating personal and environmental stressors. She strives to create a non-judgmental and non-critical atmosphere, enabling individuals, families, couples, and groups at various stages of growth and healing to relate to and receive services effectively.

What is your approach to therapy?

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative partnership tailored to your unique story. My style is warm, holistic, and integrative. Because I am trained in both Clinical Social Work and Christian Theology (Masters of Divinity), I view health through a wide lens—considering not just your thoughts and behaviors, but also your values, your community, and the physical way your body carries stress.

My goal is to help you move from a place of "just getting by" to a place where you feel grounded, resilient, and authentically yourself.

Welcome! My name is Victoria, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating life transitions, stress, grief, and anxiety. (give me a chance, seniors. I'm older than I look and someone once called me wise!) I also specialize in trauma and understand how painful experiences can affect us emotionally, behaviorally, and relationally over time. Through graduate training and ongoing continuing education, I help clients process the past, better understand their patterns, and move toward healing and change.

I am open to new ideas and problem solving, through listening and exploring options. I welcome in depth conversations and always learn from my clients. Creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect is a primary goal. Setting attainable realistic goals for life. I have experience in business, schools (k-12 and higher education) and the Family Court System

My experiences include extensive training for diverse populations: Community Oriented Police, School Police officers, First Responders and Hospital security.

I have also taught coparenting classes and work with hundreds of couples in creating and implementing parenting plans. I have instructed and supervised counselors in training at both the University level and have been a hands on field instructor.

In the area of leadership, I have been president of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, president od the board of both Circle Group Homes and the William Gladden Foundation. I have served on many community boards and current chair the scholarship committee for The Greater Allegheny Education Foundation.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania, but residing in Florida since 2023. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals suffering from mental health and substance use disorders. I also specialize in trauma and offer a very warm, caring approach. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, know that you don't have to carry this alone. I offer a warm, nurturing space where your journey—mind, body, and spirit—is held with compassion. Instead of just focusing on the past, we’ll work together to find your inner resources and create small, tangible steps toward a life that feels lighter and more aligned with your values.

Hi, I’m Natalye—though you’re welcome to call me Nat, whichever feels more comfortable for you.

My clinical experience includes in-home services, inpatient hospitalization, residential care, and outpatient treatment.

With an empathic approach and dynamic disposition, I’m deeply committed to building strong, trusting, and positive relationships with my clients and their support systems. I believe that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces—and I’m proud to walk alongside my clients in that journey.
