I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 1 year of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion for helping others began in teaching and caregiving before I discovered my calling in counseling. I work with clients ages 12+ from diverse backgrounds to address trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can take root.

I earned a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University. My approach integrates compassion, collaboration, and perspective-building to foster personal growth. I help clients reframe challenges, explore new insights, and strengthen their sense of security and resilience through open dialogue and mutual understanding.

You deserve a therapist who truly sees and accepts you without judgment. I will meet you with honesty, empathy, and respect, creating a safe space where you can do more than survive. My goal is to empower you to build the life you desire, one rooted in growth, peace, and authenticity.

My name is Ilyssa Carsia, CRNP, PMHNP-BC. I have worked as an inpatient nurse in medical-surgical settings, and I have also worked as an outpatient nurse in rehabilitation and behavioral health settings. I am passionate about my chosen profession as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and I love learning about and connecting with others. In particular, I enjoy helping others navigate major life transitions. I understand how past experiences shape current mental health challenges, and I help patients process difficult experiences and build resilience. I have expertise in treating anxiety and mood disorders with a holistic approach.

I like to take a person-centered approach, helping people work towards their ideal self. I have a deep understanding of how early childhood experiences and familial relationships can affect and shape development and personality. I am skilled at helping people recognize unconscious beliefs, emotions, and relational patterns.

Whatever you may be going through, I am here to be an ongoing source of support, guidance, and encouragement. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your unique story, challenges, and treatment goals!
