At VCC, we want therapy to be positive and up-beat and we love helping people. And when you come for therapy with us, you’ll see and feel it.
At our offices in Mechanicsburg, PA, VCC specializes in providing counseling and therapy for children, teens, young adults, adults, and families for all of central Pennsylvania, including Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry, and York Counties. We believe that the foundation for a great experience in therapy is based on the relationship between therapist and client, so our team is comprised of therapists with diverse backgrounds and specialties. When you contact us, the VCC staff will spend time to ask you what is bringing you in for therapy and what you are looking for in a therapist. This allows us to best match you with a therapist that can meet your needs and specializes in your concerns.
We know that taking the first step into therapy can be intimidating, so we work hard to make that first step a comfortable and easy one. If you're ready to get started, call us at 717-790-1700, email us at info@valleycounselingcenter.com, or click below.
What’s Therapy Like?
It’s important when beginning the counseling process, either individually or as a family, for you and your therapist to get to know each other and identify your goals. No two people are the same, so your therapist will tailor the therapeutic experience to be unique to you. The first few sessions will be spent getting to know you, so we can make sure there’s a good fit between therapist and client.
Our therapists then use strength-based therapeutic techniques that will help you to move towards where you want to be. There’s no set time limit or number of sessions for this, and therapy sessions move at your pace. We believe in meeting each client where they are and beginning our work together from there. No matter the challenge you face, whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, school issues, or any other concern, your therapist will help you to begin to explore and understand these issues. They will then focus on your strengths to develop strategies that will empower you to manage these concerns or make changes. At VCC, our approach is collaborative, with the therapist and the client working together!
