Counseling Services at Embrace Counseling Center

Welcome! I'm Alyssa Ziegler, M.A., BCBA, LBS, LPC

My therapeutic process at Embrace Counseling Center focuses on understanding how your belief systems, attachment style, and emotional wounds have developed from your childhood experiences, shaped over the years by various environments and relationships. We will explore both current and past events, thoughts, emotions, habits, and interactional patterns that influence your life. To facilitate healing and change, I will promote positive health habits—psychological, physical, nutritional, and spiritual—as we navigate this journey together. 


My passion lies in uncovering who you are on a deeper level and identifying the motivators that drive you toward becoming your ideal self. This will help us design and achieve a life that fulfills you and foster relationships that sustain you.


I firmly believe that we were created for connection and to live a purpose-driven life. My goal is to walk alongside my clients, providing the mental health support they need while we progress steadily through counseling sessions.


I earned my B.A. in Applied Psychology at Penn State University and my M.A. in Clinical Counseling with a certification in Applied Behavior Analysis at Eastern University.


I look forward to journeying with you through our therapy services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Alyssa@EmbraceCounseling.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The cost per session at Embrace Counseling Center is $120 for individual format and $140 for couple and family sessions.

At this time, we do not work with insurance. Please call your insurance company to ask the following questions:

  1. Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health therapy?
  2. What is my out-of-pocket max?
  3. Is partial reimbursement provided for the following sessions: 90834 (individual) and/or 90847 (couple/family)
  4. Can my self-paid fees be put toward my deductible? 


We will email you a superbill at the end of each month to submit to your insurance.  

Absolutely. Please share your availability including all days, times, and the session frequency of which you could commit. This will inform us asap if we have matching ongoing availability. We prefer to secure our clients with regular weekly or bi-monthly times that can become part of their routine to promote consistency. We will do our best to reschedule for a different day/time if either therapist or client needs to make a schedule adjustment.

Great question. The range of time that clients attend counseling varies depending on their current living situations, health of significant relationships, types of goals, and the willingness and courage to honor themselves through commitment and openness to change. 


Your current situation and background will be discussed during the intake session and evaluated by your therapist with a goal to develop and discuss a treatment plan together within the first 2-3 sessions. As you reach your goals, we will fade session frequency to monthly or as needed maintenance sessions.

Seek immediate medical attention if these thoughts become uncontrollable, more frequent/intense, and are accompanied by intrusive images, and result in feelings of intense fear and/or relief.


Please call/text 988, which is a 24/7 service. Text HOME to 741741 to reach a trained Crisis Counselor through Crisis Text line, a 24-hour service that is free of charge. 


We will examine these intrusive thoughts and/or images during our session. HIPPA will be broken in order to inform appropriate emergency services and your emergency contacts listed in order to protect your life.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.
