Hi there, I’m Aileen Beaver!
I’m a Licensed Social Worker who provides individual therapy to teens and adults dealing with various mental health concerns such as stress, depression and anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, family struggles, trauma, and PTSD.
I believe in people’s ability to process and transform their pain to live fuller and freer lives. I think that starts with having a safe and supportive therapeutic connection. In therapy, I strive to provide an atmosphere where you can express your thoughts and feelings free of judgment and recognize patterns that no longer serve you.
Each of us deserves to live an authentic and satisfying life. It is an honor to walk alongside you in this process toward meaningful change.
I am a graduate of the Boston University School of Social Work. My approach to therapy is collaborative, integrative, and strength-based. Every person is unique, and having flexibility allows therapy to be tailored to your needs.
I use a person-centered, relational psychodynamic approach while incorporating CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills. Each of these modalities is through a trauma-informed lens. This approach gives you the coping skills necessary to manage life’s stress and can get to the root cause of your suffering.
When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, drinking coffee, reading books, running/hiking/biking, working out, and spending time with people I love. I look forward to working with you!
Aileen sees clients online across PA and in person at the Hershey, PA, therapy office.

Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Struggling with infertility can be so difficult, especially if no one around you has experienced something similar. It can feel like an isolating journey and people find they often need support to navigate the emotional aspects of the process. Our therapists have specialized training to help you.
Move Forward Counseling is an inclusive practice where we want the LGBTQIA+ community to feel welcome and supported. Whether you are unsure how to embrace your identity, are having relationship issues, or need extra support from a non-judgmental person, we have therapists who can help.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating for many who experience it. Recovery from trauma is possible and we have therapists who can help.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
