I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). My education includes a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University, a Master of Education in School Counseling from West Chester University, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Trauma and Resilience from Wilmington University. I have clinical experience ranging from field experience working with children and adolescents within a school setting to 7 years of experience working with adults in substance use treatment programs and their family members. My current role as a psychotherapist working with adults on a primarily individual basis to cope with life’s challenges is where I find tremendous fulfillment and compatibility. These diverse experiences have allowed me to develop a passion for working with people to improve their ability to cope with life’s many challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, substance use, codependency, and family or relationship struggles. I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Relapse Prevention, Solution-Focused Therapy and Psychoeducation to develop an approach that is individualized for every client.

Hi! People of all walks of life often go through tough times ... and I am here to help. Since 1991, I have worked with individuals across outpatient and inpatient settings, in homes and schools, and now through telehealth. I have assisted people with a variety of challenges--whether related to depression, anxiety and stress, trauma, behavioral control, self-esteem, substance use, life transition, and other issues. I believe in "possibilities thinking", goal setting, active strategizing, and frequent accounting of progress. As a long-term counselor and college psychology professor, I am well acquainted with many therapeutic approaches; however, I am somewhat partial to cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation and mindfulness, and solution-focused treatment. I am also formally EMDR-trained and DBT-Certified, both of which are helpful for emotional regulation. There are many therapy options and providers--whomever you select, I wish you the best. Remember--it’s your life, your journey … make the most of it! Sincerely, Rick NOTE: At the current time, my availability will typically be from 9-11 am on M/W/F, from 7-9 pm on some weekday evenings; and from 8 am-3 pm on most Saturdays and Sundays.

NOTE: I do not engage in any court-ordered treatment. NOTE: I am interested in conducting therapy, not doing work-mandated, IEP, or other (e.g., Disability, Drug & Alcohol, or Mental Competency) evaluations.

McKees Rocks, PA - Accepting clients in PA

My name is MaryAnn Emmerling and I have been a therapist for many years, working with adults who have a variety of emotional issues. My experience includes helping people with trauma, anxiety and panic, depression, relationship issues and childhood abuse. I also have experience with family issues, work stress and relationship conflicts. I have a master’s degree in counseling, am licensed and I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor. I also authored a self-help book on anxiety and panic. Taking care of your emotional health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Sometimes there is a barrier when someone considers therapy because they feel self conscious or fearful about what it means to be in therapy, so they suffer unnecessarily. Taking that first step is not easy. But clients have told me that the healing process began when they took that first step in seeking help and support for their emotional issues. The type of therapy I offer depends on your own individual needs. Often called Eclectic or Integrative, this type of therapy is tailored to your specific issues. Let's work together to find the answers you need to live a better life!
