Child and Teen Therapy | Play-Based Therapy
Hi! I’m Angelina.
If your child or teen is struggling—whether it’s big emotions, anxiety, behavior changes, or just feeling “off” — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I work with kids (as young as 4 years old) and teens in a way that feels safe, engaging, and natural to them. With my background in elementary education, I understand how kids think, learn, and express themselves — especially when they don’t have the words yet. Through creativity, play-based therapy, and connection, my goal is to help kids and teens build confidence, process emotions, and feel more like themselves again.
It’s incredibly important to me to help parents feel supported too — because when your child is struggling, it impacts the whole family.
Areas of Focus: Child and teen anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, anger management in teens, and building confidence and self-esteem in kids.
Maura Majcher, MS, LPC
TeleHealth Therapist in PA | Women’s & Maternal Mental Health | Teen Therapy
Hello! I’m Maura.
Life can be absolutely overwhelming. Being in survival mode can get very old. Between the demands of work, school, managing a home, caring for children and being a good partner, it can become too much to handle alone.
I have years of experience working with women and teens where we focus on understanding how every part of your family system plays into how you function and survive.
Are you sick of just surviving? The good news is that therapy works, and you don’t have to do it alone!
Area of Focus: Maternal Mental Health, Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, Women’s Issues, Life Transitions, Anxiety and Teen Mental Health.
Ashley Solt, MA, LPC
Child & Teen Therapist | Play-Based Therapy | Women’s & Postpartum Mental Health
Hi! I’m Ashley.
Life is hard. Our lives are busy. There’s a lot of pressure on women, mothers, and children. Our relationships can suffer from the fast pace that we keep.
In my work as a therapist, I’ve gained valuable experience working with women, moms, teens and little kids. I’ve supported women and moms with self-esteem building, boundary setting, and stress management.
I help with parenting struggles, relationship dynamics and becoming better communicators.
Are you tired of struggling? Do you want to feel better or help your child feel better? I can help.
Area of Focus: Child Anxiety, Emotional and Behavioral Challenges, Parenting Concerns, Maternal Mental Health, Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, Women’s Issues, and Stress Management.
Suzie Ackerman, MA, LAPC
Women’s Therapy | Maternal Mental Health | Christian Counseling
Hello! My name is Suzie. I’m glad you’re here.
Life can be so complicated. We work so hard to earn a living, care for our families and take care of our households. We give so much of ourselves to our children, our employers and our communities. We try our best to be a good partner and friend, but often we find that despite all our hard work, life can take unexpected turns leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, frustrated and hopeless. Relationships can become fractured, children can seem ungrateful, work is unfulfilling, and the thought of cooking one more meal or doing one more load of laundry can seem unbearable.
With over five decades of life experience, I can personally relate to many of the struggles of my clients. I have survived unthinkable things, unimaginable pain, and shocking disappointments in myself and my relationships. Through my own work in therapy, I learned just how beneficial it is to have a non-biased professional to talk to.
Are you struggling? Are you ready for something to change? I can help.
Area of Focus: Women’s Issues, Motherhood Challenges, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, and Faith-Based Support.
Ann Marie Hefferan, MA, LPC
Founder and Therapist
Hello! My name is Ann Marie Hefferan. I’m glad you are here!
I’m a therapist and founder of In The Now Counseling.
After working for several years as a solo practitioner where I focused on helping women, I decided to form a group practice in order to support men and children, as well.
My passion comes from my own experience as a mother, wife and caregiver. In my role as group practice owner, I continue to see clients while also mentoring our therapists, using both my clinical expertise and life experience to ensure every person who walks through our doors receives compassionate, high-quality care.
If you’re tired of struggling and wondering if things can feel different, they can. You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. I’d be honored to help you find a path toward feeling more like yourself again.
