Getting to know Carl Heffermehl
I do not prescribe medication, and I do not accept Medicare or Geisinger Family Plan. I am a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s in Counseling from The Pennsylvania State University. I have experience working with individuals to help them with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationships, and interpersonal issues across their life. I mainly work one-on-one with individuals but have also worked with couples, families, and troubled populations such as youth on probation. My goal is to help individuals find a balance in their life where they can reduce their mental health stress and overall life stress by establishing and implementing healthy balance, coping skills, and boundaries. This approach aims to improve not only their life but also their sense of self.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have the most experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and interpersonal relationships, I also have experience with ADHD, paranoia, bi-polar, and schizophrenia. I use modality's such as CBT, person-centered, solution-focused, interpersonal, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help individuals identify/challenge negative behaviors and patterns in their life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach to therapy is just being myself, a welcoming, humorous, and empathetic person who loves to help others as a whole. I do this to help build a great, deep, and real relationship with my clients, and establish trust and help us work together to challenge/break down the struggles they are facing, and build themselves back up to who they want to be now.

Mr. Heffermehl is a kind and thoughtful person. He respected my boundaries while encouraging me towards a brighter outlook given my trauma. I appreciated that he was informal in our conversation. He presents as an approachable person - like a caring, longtime friend. I appreciated that he followed along with my rambling, and that he asked follow-up questions going back to parts of the conversation that I had glossed over in my head. Even when I wasn’t listening to myself, Carl was there and helped me back on track. My mind tends to assume that most anyone can understand what I’m talking about when I speak on my experiences, and Carl helped by asking clarifying questions and giving advice when it is needed. I eagerly look forward to our next meeting, and I highly recommend his work.

I've had an incredibly positive experience working with Carl! From the very first session, I felt heard and supported in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. Carl creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I can truly open up and explore my feelings. The tools and strategies they’ve shared have already made a significant difference in how I manage stress and navigate my daily life. I’m seeing real progress in my emotional well-being, and I feel more confident about my ability to cope with challenges. I’m very grateful for the care and insight I’ve received and would highly recommend Carl to anyone seeking support
