Welcome! I am Dr. Kevin Lally and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Temple University and my Doctorate of Social Work degree from Millersville University. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of social work. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I am particularly drawn to working with men's issues related to mental health and wellness.
I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for trauma-based counseling. I am also a university professor to graduate and undergraduate students who are pursuing their goal of becoming social workers themselves.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you to help you realize your healthiest and most authentic self.
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Dr.Lally has helped me through the hardest days of my entire existence. He crushed all preconceptions i had on therapy and therapists. As soon as i spoke with him on our first video session, i immediately was welcomed with a warmth and a soothing energy that genuinely gave me hope. I immediately felt like i was in a safe space and dint felt once judged. He tells me things like they are and doesnt sugarcoat anything, which i appreciate a lot, but at the same time, knows exactly how to say things without me ever feeling triggered or pressured to talk.
I am very grateful for Dr.Lally; im still fighting against my depression and anxiety, but the difference this time is that im not alone. You cant win every rounds in a fight like this one, some are harder than others, but for the first time, im hopeful and confident i will beat this, because i have a coach in the corner rooting for me day in and day out.
Thats what kevin Lally gave me...the motivation to give life one more chance
