With almost 20 years in the mental health field, she has recently rebranded her business, now known as Therapeutic Haven Creator, to incorporate her new certification for Ecotherapy services. She has a vision to step away from traditional office therapy and allow nature and spirituality to guide with the healing journey. Last year she began offering Ecotherapy, grounding with gratitude groups at several locations throughout the Lehigh Valley. These groups can be specifically designed for the needs of family, friends, and businesses. In addition to offering therapy, over the years, she has participated in other ways to offer guidance to the community through her published articles &amp; books on Amazon, YouTube podcast episodes, and meditation on the Insight Timer app. Vicky has also offered in person and virtual group facilitations with local elementary schools and girl scout troops to help them earn their badges, with the purpose to developing a positive mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">To learn more about Vicky Alercia-Casella check out her links below: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapists\/vicky-alercia-casella-easton-pa\/170423?utm_campaign=TD_SHA_1_1&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_source=TDE\">https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Youtube channel\/Podcast<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@therapeutichavencreator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@therapeutichavencreator&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1741990589200000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1pkk8vg1W7sOzd4oDa7HEd\">Therapeutic Haven Creator Counseling &#8211;
