On the eastern banks of the Susquehanna River and the southern banks of the Lackawanna River, you will find the small town of Pittston, Pennsylvania. The town was founded in 1770 and named after the British statesman William Pitt, the first Earl of Chatham. Pittston was a popular coal mining town until several mining disasters that killed more than 70 miners put the mining industry of Pennsylvania out of business.

When disasters such as these happen, many people need to seek counseling to help with their feelings and emotions. In fact, even when there have been no disasters in your life, you may need to get counseling for things that are going on in your life. Talk to one of the many fantastic counselors in the Pittston area today about getting some help.

My name is Amy and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been in the mental health field for nearly 15 years in a variety of settings. This has given me the opportunity to assist a diverse group of people in addressing both acute and chronic mental health issues while also striving to achieve an improved satisfaction with life. While I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, a person’s needs and preferences ultimately determine what will drive the collaboration. I am extensively trained in relationship issues, post traumatic stress disorder, and women’s health issues including pregnancy emotions, postpartum depression and perinatal loss. In addition to that, I also have a significant amount of experience with anxiety, depression, bipolar, grief /loss, and adjustment issues. It can be overwhelming to experience negative emotions. Some of us only experience them for a short amount of time after a specific event occurs, while others experience their interference in life satisfaction for many years. It is my hope that I can assist you in assessing and managing the negative thoughts and emotions you might be experiencing. I believe those that I have worked with in the past would describe me as easy to talk to, having a love for humor, and liking to keep things “real.” I value creating a warm and genuine environment that you can feel comfortable in discussing some of the most difficult topics. Making this initial decision to establish a relationship with a counselor can leave you feeling vulnerable when getting ready to talk with a complete stranger. It is my goal to immediately create a comfortable working relationship. I look forward to meeting you!
