About

We listen and support growth to empower you to make desired changes.

Ahava means LOVE in Hebrew. Love is the foundation for connection, self love is the bedrock of growth. As a sex therapist, a couples counselor, and a self proclaimed "love story junkie", I knew Ahava was the best name for my new private practice. Without love for ourselves, we cannot create passion, interest, determination, self-regulation or emotional boundaries. Knowing how to love ourselves is the best path we can take for our families and our communities at large. Here at Ahava, we facilitate this learning and witness real change. Erica Hesselson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, the only AASECT certified Sex Therapist in Berks County, and a leader in the therapeutic industry for over 15 years. She specializes in marriage and couples counseling and assists families and individuals across Pennsylvania to facilitate change in their lives.
