Your journey toward emotional healing and transformation starts today.

Individual & Couples Counseling | Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Be Empowered

Find Hope

Experience Change

Arrival is a private counseling practice that focuses on empowering you through authenticity, deep reflection and hope.

The stigma around mental health concerns has kept too many of us from seeking help for too long. Therapy is for everyday people with everyday struggles. At Arrival, we are intent on being real with you about those struggles. We all need a helping hand sometimes.

We created Arrival because we wholeheartedly believe that therapy is one of the best gifts that you can give to yourself or to your relationship. The therapeutic process provides opportunities for meaningful self-discovery and long-term personal and relational growth.

We strive to provide empowerment, hope and emotional healing to everyone that walks through our door. You have arrived, and you are welcome here!

You may be struggling with…

• Loss of your sense of purpose or direction

• Conflict in your marriage or relationship

• Feeling stuck or overwhelmed

• Difficulty controlling worry

• Challenges with focus or motivation

• Trust issues in your relationship

• Processing the loss of a loved one

• Feeling misunderstood or alone

Your pain is unique,
but you are
not broken or defective.

You don’t have to be alone.
Come work with us and see that healing is possible for you!

At Arrival, you can expect:

Our Services

  • Individual therapy is an opportunity to delve deep, one-on-one with your therapist. In these sessions, we can explore what makes you tick, how your life experiences have helped shape who you are, and which obstacles are in your way, to find clearer paths forward out of your painful patterns. We believe that everyone can benefit from the increased self-awareness that individual therapy cultivates.

  • We offer our services to a diverse range of couples, including those who are non-married, engaged, married, separated, or divorced. Every relationship has ups and downs! If you feel like you are stuck in a negative cycle that is amplified by broken trust or difficulty communicating, couples therapy is a great place to start pursuing reconnection. Your therapist can help mediate tough conversations and foster more intimacy in your relationship. We strongly recommend that couples new to Arrival book a two hour initial session. This extended time allows us to deeply explore and understand your relationship dynamics, setting the stage for effective, personalized therapy.

  • Sometimes you need input and support from someone outside the family to help you translate and increase your understanding of each other. In family therapy, you and your loved ones can work toward healthier family dynamics or reconciliation with the help of the therapist’s objective eye and educational background in Family Systems Theory. At Arrival, we can include children as young as 12 years old in family therapy sessions.

  • We also provide both individual and couples counseling online through our secure, confidential teletherapy platform. You can now receive the same high-quality care from the comfort of your home. Caralyne & Derek are both licensed therapists in the states of California and Pennsylvania, allowing us to offer our services virtually to residents of these states. If you have any questions about how teletherapy works, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We are here and happy to help.

The Process

First Step

Reach out

If you’re ready to hit the ground running, you can schedule your first session at any time. If you’d like to talk to us before you book a session or don’t see availability on our schedule, send us an email or give us a call. We would love to consult with you. It is that easy!

Second Step

Establish a therapeutic relationship

It is important that you feel safe, comfortable and seen by your therapist. Like in any other relationship, you will want to find a good fit in order to build trust and a deep connection.

Third Step

Embark on your journey toward healing

Most clients benefit from starting off with weekly sessions to gain some momentum toward meeting their goals. As we begin to make progress together, we will collaborate on finding a schedule that meets your needs.

“Having seen both Caralyne and Derek at different points, I can highly recommend both of them. They create a space that is understanding and peaceful, and each are truly intuitive with their counseling. They ask the right questions at the right time, show deep empathy, and have freed me to become a person that I love to be. I’m very thankful for their expertise and care.”
