Allay Mental Health & Wellness is a private group practice located at 811 Market Street, Williamsport, Pennsylvania 17701-3402. The founding member and clinical director is Laura E. Capel, MA, NCC, LPC, CCTP. The broader clinical staff includes licensed professional counselors and licensed clinical social workers.
Services address trauma, anxiety, and depression through a range of evidence-based approaches. Specific therapeutic modalities listed on the site include interpersonal therapy, compassion-focused therapy, faith-based counseling, family and marital therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). The practice also offers clinical supervision provided by licensed supervisors, serving early-career clinicians in the Williamsport region.
Both in-person and telehealth session formats are available. Session fees are disclosed on the site: individual therapy ranges from $95 to $175 per session; family or marital therapy is $120 per session; initial assessments are $175; and clinical supervision is $35 per hour. A cash-pay option is available at $75 per session.
The practice accepts a broad range of insurance plans, including Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, Geisinger Health Plan, Highmark, Humana, Magellan, Medicaid, Medicare, Optum, TRICARE East, United Healthcare, UPMC Health Plan, and Access Behavioral Care. The TRICARE East acceptance indicates the practice serves military-connected clients and their families.
Practical amenities include on-street parking near the office, a bus stop immediately in front of the building at 811 Market Street, and private parking available in the rear. A client portal supports appointment scheduling and online payments. The practice describes its care model as person-centered, meaning treatment is tailored to the individual client’s goals and circumstances rather than following a standardized protocol.
The faith-based counseling option listed among the therapeutic modalities distinguishes Allay from practices that offer only secular approaches, providing an option for clients who wish to integrate spiritual or religious values into their care. Laura Capel’s CCTP credential, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, signals focused training in trauma-specific treatment beyond general counseling licensure. Williamsport, Pennsylvania is located in Lycoming County in northcentral Pennsylvania, and the practice serves clients in that region through both office visits and telehealth.
