With over a decade of clinical experience, Breesha Comish has worked in a variety of therapeutic counseling centers, research centers, and universities.  Her therapeutic training began rooted from a systemic approach, while studying at Thomas Jefferson University program run by the Council for Relationships. There she trained in medical family therapy, couples counseling, as well as, worked in a community school where she collaborated with elementary and middle schoolers, along with their families.  Inspired by working with families, she continued providing intensive family based counseling: focusing on helping families maintain healthy and thriving relationships.  As Breesha’s commitment to providing evidence-based care grew, she earned a position as a Research Assistant at Drexel University where she discovered her passion for attachment based family therapy.  Most recently, Breesha provided integrated behavioral health counseling at UPenn LGHealth where she was dedicated to collaborating with providers in order to provide premier clinical care for her clients.

        People reach out to Ms. Comish for both small bumps in the road in their relationship, along with seeking out therapy to address deeper traumas or couples crisis situations: such as affairs or difficulty discussing sexual issues.  Areas of focus include: prenatal and postpartum mental health, young adults and life transitions, trauma, LGBTQ issues, desire mismatch, sexual struggles, and communication and relationship counseling, including those in non-traditional relationships.  Additionally, Breesha has extensive training in working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and sexual dysfunction diagnoses.  With advanced doctoral-level couples training, Breesha recognizes many patterns that couples can easily fall into.  With her compassionate and proactive approach, she quickly is able to label and provide tools to help partners turn towards one another in times of challenges. 

        Breesha can relate to how difficult it can be to reach out for help and is honored to see the clients she’s worked with who have fought and won their battles with depression.  Growing up with severe depression, Breesha has empathy for how taking the first step on your journey can be difficult.  As a child, Breesha was fortunate to be connected with a therapist named Dr. Noah who provided her a safe and validating space to find herself again and come out of the dark. Her therapist’s compassion, empathy, as well as, his supportive feedback helped her to find her  way and helped her uncover her desire to help others.  Regardless of your mental health diagnosis, Breesha prioritizes continuity of care with any of your providers and is dedicated to helping you understand how you can live a thriving life without being defined by your diagnosis. 

        Breesha is proud to join individuals and couples on their therapy journey by highlighting their strengths, while also noticing patterns and relational dynamics that may be preventing her clients from the lives they want to lead.  She intervenes quickly with trauma-informed tools including EMDR trauma therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy Communication Tools, and Sensate Focus Sexual Therapy exercises.  She is personally supervised by Dr. Chris Fariello as she completes her hours as a Certified Sex Therapist. Breesha remains dedicated to making clinical services accessible to the Lancaster community through her dual roles as a Clinical Supervisor and Primary Therapist. 

Breesha recharges on the weekends by throwing and hand building pottery, sewing and reading. You can also find her riding horses or getting her hands dirty with cathartic physical labor, including mucking stalls & fixing fences - skills that are second nature to her, since she grew up on a farm. Her clients are often surprised to learn that she also enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with her friends.
