The Meaning Space | Serena Bye, MS, LPC | Virtual Therapy in PA + WI

When you submit the contact form, I will reach out to you to schedule either a brief 10-minute consultation call or a full intake session. Consult calls are a chance for initial connection and to ask any questions that may help you feel comfortable moving forward.
If we move directly into an intake session, that first appointment will continue that initial conversation more in depth. I’ll ask some questions to better understand what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping for out of your sessions, and we’ll begin discussing what the therapy process might look like for you. If it doesn’t feel like a fit, no obligations at all to continue.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and insight-oriented, with an emphasis on helping you understand patterns, emotions, and the meanings you’ve made of your experiences. I often draw from narrative therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and attachment-based work, and integrate CBT, ACT, and DBT skills when helpful.
We’ll start with your first session and decide together what frequency feels right for you. Most clients begin weekly and then space sessions out over time as things improve.
My fee is $150 per 50-minute session. I am an out-of-network provider, but many clients are able to receive reimbursement through their insurance if their plan offers out-of-network benefits that can compare similarly to coverage provided by insurance. I can provide a superbill and help to support you in this process.
I typically see clients ages 16 and older. Outside of that, feel free to reach out and we can see if it feels like a good fit. I primarily work with young adults and professionals, but I welcome anyone who resonates with my approach and specialties.
Once your session is scheduled, you’ll receive an email with a secure link to join your appointment. You can use that link to access your virtual session at the scheduled time from any private, comfortable space.
I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which means clients must be physically located in either PA or WI at the time of each session, even if their permanent address is in one of those states.
If you travel frequently or split time between states, feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether virtual therapy would still be a good fit for your situation.
That’s completely okay! The first sessions are really about getting to know you and what’s bringing you in. There’s no expectation that you know what to say or that there’s a “right” way to do therapy. We will address your concerns and both learn as we go!
