Perry J Hazeltine, PhD Therapy and Psychological Services

Perry J Hazeltine, PhD Therapy and Psychological Services Transitions: Therapy, Grief Work and Career Counseling I arrived in Lancaster with my young family 24 years ago as I finished my doctorate.

I’ve had a private therapy practice in downtown Lancaster for 10 years and live within walking distance of my office. I came to begin a new phase of my career by becoming the Clinical Director of the Samaritan Counseling Center. In fact, I worked with Samaritan’s TeenHope program up until this spring. TeenHope is a school-based mental health awareness program, and I served as the coordinator of r

esearch and development. In my personal life, I know of peace and progress, as well as periods of anxiety and lethargy. I know the joys and disappointments of love in family life, and the blessings and curses of extended family. I believe in community engagement, with its camaraderie and frustrations. I believe in a healthy lifestyle but know what it’s like to eat junk food and to have trouble getting off the couch. I have a hopelessly wandering mind, yet I benefit from meditating daily. Being a therapist is good for me, despite its challenges, because every hour with a client is an hour where I am in the present moment and focused. I can listen to a fellow human and get out of my own head. Feeling empathy for another is healing to me, even as it is very difficult, at times, to feel the raw pain of another. It is a constant reminder to me that we are not alone in the world.
