How can I help?

Therapy is about learning to take better care of yourself, understanding why you make the choices you do, learning to manage your emotions and healing to return joy to your life.

I provide a blend of Humanistic and Evidence-based psychotherapy to adults, college students, medical staff, educators and overwhelmed professionals.

Specialties include:

Anxiety
Trauma and PTSD
Gender and LGBTQUI Issues
Grief / Bereavement
Change of Life
Self-Esteem

Why me?

My name is Tricia Lugger and I own Acceptance Counseling and Therapy. With over 20 years of experience in the field of Information Technologies, I built a successful career grounded in problem-solving, innovation, and adaptability. Over time, my growing passion for human behavior and well-being led me to make a significant career shift into psychology. This transition reflects my deep commitment to helping others on a more personal level. Drawing on both my technical background and a natural ability to listen with empathy and support, I bring a unique perspective to the psychological field—balancing analytical thinking with genuine compassion and understanding for the human experience.

The single most important factor in successful psychotherapy is the relationship between client and therapist; effective therapy starts from the moment you call, text or email. If you feel unsure, please contact me for a free consultation.

Serving All Populations

I am dedicated to providing counseling and psychotherapy to a broad population. I believe mental health treatment is a right, not a privilege, and that all individuals regardless of gender, orientation or race deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
