Hello! My name is Emily Cyburt, and I have been an outpatient mental health therapist since 2013, and have been licensed since 2019 in the state of Pennsylvania as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Master of Science degree in Community Counseling. I am a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD) with training to treat individuals with personality disorders, as well as help those being affected by someone in their life with a personality disorder. I am also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP) trained in evidence based holistic approaches
to prevent and treat common mental health problems. Additionally, I am recognized as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with the National Board of Certified Counselors since 2018, a voluntary national certification, and the largest national counselor certification in the world, that identifies counselors who have met national standards set by the profession.
I prefer to work with teens, young adults, and middle aged persons. I am most comfortable and competent in treating those with anxiety, depression, stress, low self esteem/self confidence, relationship/marital problems, and family problems. The areas in which I have the least, or minimal experience in treating are trauma-focused, grief and loss, and post-partum issues/depression.
My counseling style is non-Christian based, truthful and honest. I believe change can only occur through dedication to the process, hard work outside of session, honest reflection, and working together as a team. My approach combines Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Psychoeducational, and Rational-Emotive counseling. But what does all that mean?
Person-centered therapy is talk therapy wherein you, the client, does most of the talking. I will not judge or try to interpret what you say, but may restate your words in an attempt to fully understand your thoughts and feelings.
CBT places an emphasis on changing thinking patterns. Through exercises in the session, as well as “homework” exercises outside of sessions, clients are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.
Psychoeducation helps people better understand (and become accustomed to living with) mental health conditions. It is generally known that those who have a thorough understanding of the challenges they are facing as well as knowledge of personal coping ability, internal and external resources, and their own areas of strength are often better able to address difficulties, feel more in control of the condition(s), and have a greater internal capacity to work toward mental and emotional well-being.
REBT is an action-oriented approach that’s focused on helping people deal with irrational beliefs and learn how to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a healthier, more realistic way.
Using these approaches, we will work together to create a plan and goals to help you achieve success.
It takes courage to seek help and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Talking to Emily is like talking to a new friend I know I can completely trust. I feel safe and comfortable sharing so much with her. She's given me good material to understand some of my behaviors and thoughts and she's so accommodating and thoughtful with session scheduling.

This was my first experience with therapy and I was very nervous. Emily made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I've only had two sessions and I am already feeling a lot better.
