Austin Pritchard: Founder of Homestead Family Therapy
Austin Is A PA State Licensed Marriage And Family Therapist (MF001363).
I chose to focus my training in marriage and family therapy because I believe that a breakdown in relationships can disrupt the four pillars of a healthy individual. I work to help you write the story you want to have unfold in your life. I spent 12-years in the U.S. Air Force where I focused on leading teams, providing support to deployed team members, and oversaw tactical training. I received an Associate’s Degree in Electronics from the University of the Air Force. In 2016, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Liberty University and received my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University in 2019.
Samantha Hardy: Counseling Intern
Samantha is under the clinical supervision of Austin Pritchard (License: MF001363)
I am a Master’s-level intern beginning my clinical training with Homestead Family Therapy. I was drawn to this field due to my belief that people do not exist in isolation. Our relationships shape who we are, and understanding these dynamics can be a powerful tool for personal and relational growth.
My background as a student-athlete has given me firsthand experience in the value of collaboration, communication, and navigating interpersonal challenges. Additionally, my work as a camp counselor over the past three years allowed me to support children in developing essential social skills such as teamwork and emotional awareness.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Chatham University in December 2024 and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology there.
