Hi! My name is Drew Krantz and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the Harrisburg, PA area, and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in "helping the helpers"- those experiencing secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and work-related stress. My goal is to help "restore joy" to why they got into the helping field!
My approach
My therapeutic approach is based on evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I also incorporate leading research in the areas of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, empathic strain, and burnout.
My focus
I work with those in the "helping professions" such as those in the healthcare fields, social services, education, first responders, last responders, etc. who are struggling with secondary traumatic stress and burnout. I help clients "restore joy" and help them feel more hopeful and optimistic about their future working careers.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, compassionate, and restorative. I aim to create a safe and judgment-free zone to help clients process their work-related stress.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been in the helping field for over twenty years, always specializing in addressing trauma in children and adults. I have my MA in Counseling from West Virginia University and obtained my doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership from Walden University in 2023. I have personally experienced secondary traumatic stress and have observed many leave the fields they are passionate about and invested in due to exposure to trauma. I aim to help "restore joy" and work with clients to be able to sustain a career in the helping professions!
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is working as a team to identify concerns and create strategies to "restore joy" to their work. Initially, the goal is to build rapport and a positive and open working relationship. We will track your progress over time and highlight the positive changes you have made.
My first session with you
Our first session together would focus on creating an initial connection and beginning to develop a working relationship. I would spend time getting to know you and some of your past and discuss what we could work on to "restore joy" in your career.
