Existential
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
My initial interest in psychotherapy was sparked by studies in history, music, visual art, and the major world religions. These seemingly disparate interests helped me understand individual narratives in the context of our larger collective history. We all have a sense of who we are and how the world works based on years of lived experience. By deepening the understanding of our personal narrative we prepare the way for a sense of meaning and purpose that can impact our lives and those around us in profound ways.

Elaine Flockerzi
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Navigating life at any age can be tough, and it’s important to remember that some struggles are too challenging to face on your own. I believe that everyone has strengths and the ability to grow, overcome challenges, and heal. That’s why I intend to support you on your journey by helping you get the most out of therapy and life. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to discover, use, and expand your strengths. I also use evidence-based approaches suited to your specific needs, goals, personality, and learning style.
With 15 years of experience in community mental health and residential treatment, I use evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, identity exploration, education/career transitions, and LGBTQIA+ issues.
Don't let doubts stop you from reaching your goals. You deserve happiness and fulfillment in every part of your life. If my profile resonates with you, I would be honored to join you on your journey. I look forward to being someone you can trust, depend on, and work with to achieve the meaningful change you seek.

Therapy is not only about overcoming difficulties such as past traumas or current anxiety or depression - it's also about discovering your strengths, building your resilience, and creating a fulfilling life. Reaching out for support is a courageous step and I'd be honored to walk with you on your journey of healing and growth. I believe in equipping my clients with practical tools and a deeper understanding of self to empower them to be the best version of themselves. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.
