Hello! I am Amber Romanyshyn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Moravian College and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Marywood University. I believe that everyone can benefit from participating in therapy. Whether you are going through a difficult time or trying to focus on self-improvement, I feel that therapy can be a way to help us all gain awareness of our underlying thoughts, feelings, or issues that may be influencing our worlds. I have been providing counseling for over nine years in a variety of environments, including inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings. I have worked with children, teens, and adults, and I have delivered therapy in individual, group, and family contexts. Much of my experience has been helping people to work on issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family difficulties, and traumas they have experienced. I take pride in the work that I do and am always trying to learn more about how to help people, whether it is through reading updated information about treatment methods or attending trainings to learn more about current treatment strategies. During sessions, I allow clients to tell me their stories and remain non-judgmental about what they are going through. My relationship with the client is a high priority, and I feel that it is one of the most important aspects of the therapy experience. I prefer for clients to be in control of the therapy sessions but am absolutely willing to provide direction or guidance for treatment as needed. My goal is to help clients with whatever their identified goals are, and I like to check in regularly to make sure that I am on the same page as them. I often will ask for some background information, as this allow me to better understand clients' experiences and help with identifying their strengths and ways they have been resilient in the past. I use a strengths-based approach and typically start by using cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions, as I believe that helping people better understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior can assist them in making changes more quickly in their lives. However, if other approaches seem more appropriate, I will suggest those strategies instead and try to remain flexible throughout the therapy experience. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and help you to achieve your goals!

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. In addition, I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I have 16 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues, and other mental health issues. I also helped people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I consider myself an eclectic counselor. I believe that no one individual is the same as another, therefore treatment should be personalized. Based on where the individual is at and their goals for life and goals for counseling will determine what technique I will use. Techniques may change from session to session. Some techniques I use include, but not limited to, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. People seek counseling for a variety of reasons and seek counseling at different stages in their lives. My counseling approach begins with meeting the individual where he/she is currently. Each person and their situation are unique which is why I am a strong believer that person centered is the best approach as counseling is not one size fits all. I value developing a therapeutic relationship with each individual that I counsel. My goal is to allow the individual to feel comfortable in each session as a result of me offering respect and empathy, being able to accept, and being genuine and authentic. In return I ask that each person is committed to the process and honest throughout. Taking the steps to seek counseling is the first step to seeking change. If you’re ready to take that step, I am here to guide and support you. I look forward to working with you!

I have alway been interested in what makes people tick. Why are we so different and yet so much the same? I love my work because people and their issues are always unique no matter what age or gender. My name is Joanne Scarrone and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I earned my Bachelors of Arts Degree from Seton Hill University and my Masters Degree from Duquesne University. After graduation, I trained/worked with a psychologist for 11 years. This opportunity deepened my understanding of how our minds and bodies are interconnected by teaching me the physiology of the brain and body. My practice includes modalities that treat depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, stress, isolation, abandonment. I believe that people are always doing the best that they can given their current resources. When I am not counseling, I love to garden and paint. My favorite artistic endeavor is portraiture because I strive not just for a likeness but for a person's essence.

I am open minded and do not judge people for their actions, believing respect for everyone is very important no matter what their background or current circumstances. I also believe in the safety of the therapeutic relationship, allowing people to experience their feelings without judgments or fear of ridicule. Grief and loss are common issues, along with depression, anxiety, vocational issues, stress and especially relationship issues( which can cause distress). I also try to motivate people to be healthy, reach out to people and feel better about themselves. I have some experience with addictions and how they get in the way of people reaching their goals.
