Our Team
Meet Nyc
Nyc Harter, MS, LAPC
Outpatient Therapist
Life has a way of handing us moments that leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next. Maybe you are in the middle of a big transition, dealing with anxiety or depression, or simply trying to make sense of where you are right now. Whatever brings you here, I am glad you found your way to this page, and I would be honored to support you. I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor at Bluebird Counseling Center in Lititz, Pennsylvania. I work with children, teens, and adults ages 8 and up, along with their families, across Lancaster County and the surrounding communities. I believe every person has an inherent capacity for growth and change. My work is person-centered, which simply means your goals, your pace, and your experience guide where we go together. I tend to be warm, easygoing, and accepting of all people, exactly as they are. There is no judgment in my office. You do not have to have it all figured out, and you do not have to show up as anything other than yourself. In our work, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches within a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework. In everyday terms, that means we work on changing your relationship with difficult emotions and stressors so they have less of a grip on you. Instead of fighting or running from what you feel, you build the skills to cope when those feelings show up. From there, you can start making choices that move you toward the life you want, even when things feel hard. I also bring in mindfulness and somatic practices, because healing does not only happen in our thoughts. It lives in the body and nervous system too. I find real meaning in this work. I practice the same skills I teach, using mindfulness and nervous system regulation in my own life so I can be fully present with the people I work with. I am always growing, personally and professionally, and I bring that same openness and curiosity into every session. Taking the first step toward support takes courage. When you are ready, I am here, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.
Meet Samantha
Samantha Fulton, M.Ed., LPC, NCC
Outpatient Child & Adolescent Therapist
I am here to help your child feel heard, understood, and supported. Maybe your child is struggling to manage big emotions, acting impulsively, or having a hard time thinking through consequences. Maybe they feel overwhelmed by “what ifs,” or they find it tough to express sadness, frustration, or anger in healthy ways. Maybe focusing on tasks they do not enjoy is a daily battle, or friendships feel confusing and stressful. These challenges can be hard for kids, teens, and parents alike. You are not alone, and neither are they. I would love to help your family work through them together. I have worked in the mental health field since 2004, supporting children, adolescents, and families through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation for Mental and Behavioral Disabilities from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree in Elementary Guidance Counseling from West Chester University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and certified in Trauma-Informed Practices. Over the years, I have worked in many different settings, from behavioral health programs and community mental health to schools and homes. I have served as a Behavioral Specialist, Mobile Therapist, and School-Based Outpatient Therapist. Each of these roles shaped my approach and taught me how to meet kids and teens right where they are. In therapy, I focus on helping young people build emotional awareness, learn healthy coping strategies, and strengthen decision-making and social skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and traditional talk therapy, always tailored to your child’s developmental needs and personality. While I do not offer traditional play therapy, I do use games and coloring as tools in the therapeutic process. These activities can help your child feel at ease and build trust with me, and they give us a natural way to practice and connect with the skills we are working on in sessions. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, because growth and healing happen best when the whole family feels supported. I live in Lititz, PA, and I love being part of this community. Outside of work, I enjoy running, biking, and spending time with my husband and son. Family is everything to me. If you are looking for someone who will listen without judgment, help your child feel safe and understood, and work with your family to build lasting emotional resilience, I would be honored to be part of your journey.
Meet Jodi
Jodi Spiegel, MA, ATR-BC, LAPC
Board-Certified Creative Arts Therapist
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when it means talking about the parts of life that feel heavy or hard to put into words. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood, and where you can look at your challenges with compassion and curiosity. I am a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC), and I believe therapy is a chance to feel truly seen and heard. I often use creative and artistic approaches to support the therapeutic process, because they give us another way to express emotions that sometimes live beyond words. Art therapy is always an option, but you never have to do it. If it is not the right fit for you, that is completely okay. Even when we are not doing art therapy specifically, I still bring a creative component into our work in ways that feel comfortable for you. You do not need to be an artist. Creativity is simply a tool that helps you reflect, process, and grow in kindness toward yourself. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depressed mood, neurodivergence, grief, life transitions, stress management, and more. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic principles, and mindfulness practices, including training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Meditation is a regular part of my own life, and I bring that sense of calm and presence into every session. I care about creating an experience that is compassionate, collaborative, and empowering, which fits well with the values of Bluebird Counseling Center in Lititz, PA. Whether I am working with children, teens, or adults, my goal is to help you build resilience, process your emotions, and rediscover your inner strength. Outside of therapy, I am a proud mom of two teen boys who share my love of music. I am also an avid knitter, and I find joy in creative practices that encourage patience and mindfulness. Those values show up in my work every day. If you are ready to explore your story through creativity and conversation, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
Meet Brittany
Brittany Beers, MS, LPC
Outpatient Therapist and Founder
I want you to know that you are not alone. Maybe your mind will not stop racing, or you replay conversations long after they have ended, or you are carrying a heaviness that feels impossible to put down. I see you. Maybe you are grieving someone or something deeply important to you, or maybe you are just trying to make it through the day without feeling like everything is too much. Whatever you are holding right now, I want to help you carry it. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Bluebird Counseling Center in Lititz, Pennsylvania. My work is rooted in compassion, and my goal is to create a space where you can breathe and where you do not have to pretend everything is okay. Together, we will explore what has been weighing on you and gently begin to untangle the thoughts and emotions that feel overwhelming. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, grief, and loss. My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation, not a clinical interrogation. You set the pace, and I walk alongside you. I draw from a variety of therapeutic tools, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Compassionate Bereavement Therapy, Animal-Assisted Therapy, and mindfulness practices, so we can find what works best for you. Whether you need help calming your nervous system, processing painful memories, or simply finding a moment of peace, we will tailor our work to meet your needs. Outside of the therapy room, I am a mom, a wife, and a lover of nature and photography. You might meet my dog Sadie at the office. She is part of the healing team too.
Meet Katie
Our Virtual Administrative Assistant
I have always been a firm believer in the power of therapy and the importance of self-growth and self-worth. I love supporting therapists with the administrative side of their practices so they have more time and energy to devote to you. I am from the Philadelphia area and a mom of three boys. In my earlier years I worked in the food service industry, which I credit for my love of interacting with people. I would consider myself a true “people’s person”. The food industry taught me a lot about maintaining a friendly and positive attitude when interacting with patrons as well as responding quickly and affirmatively to their needs. In my free time you will find me at all my sons' multiple sporting events, volunteering at their school, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. My true love, besides my family, is being at the beach in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, every summer. I have been going there since my childhood and it gives me a true sense of peace and happiness.
Meet Sadie
Our Therapy Dog
Hi there! I would like to introduce you to Sadie, our beloved therapy dog at Bluebird Counseling Center. We adopted Sadie from a rescue in June 2020, when she was just 4 months old. Her birthday is in February 2020. At the time, I never imagined she could become a therapy dog because of her high energy and her excitement for life. Shortly before I returned to in-person sessions after COVID restrictions were lifted, I noticed that Sadie had started to recognize my emotions and instinctively try to comfort me. Many clients were still using telehealth as I moved back into the office, so I decided to give Sadie a chance to join us. To my delight, she thrived! Sadie has her own special way of supporting clients. She loves to snuggle next to them on the couch, and sometimes she thinks she is a 60-pound weighted blanket, settling onto laps to offer warmth and comfort. Other times she enjoys some quiet time in her crate, but even then she stays tuned in to the feelings in the room. If a client becomes emotional, Sadie will often hop up on the couch to offer her presence and support. If you have any concerns about Sadie, please ask. She is happy to be closed in her crate during your session if that would make you more comfortable. For the comfort of all our clients, Sadie does not sit on any furniture in the waiting room, since we want to be considerate of anyone with allergies. We keep our office clean and use air purifiers so that everyone feels welcome. Sadie usually joins me, Brittany Beers, in sessions, though she may also sit in with other therapists if it fits a client’s needs. We are so glad to have her on our team, offering warmth and comfort to the people who come to see us.
