Family Systems Therapists in Bradford, PA

Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

Welcome. My name in Nick and it's a pleasure to meet you. I have my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My practice is located in Erie, Pennsylvania. An area I’ve called home for 20+ years. I have been in the mental health field since 2005 and obtained my LPC in 2016. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, men’s issues, LGBTQ+, self-understanding, and more.

I often see people who struggle with symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety and center interventions with a mind-body approach. I provide a unique combination of treatment modalities such as EMDR, IFS, ESFT, and DBT. I approach mental health with a holistic lens, weaving many factors in treatment to enhance wellness. I believe the growth experienced during our most difficult times helps to transform and define the moments within our lives, and I am honored to help people grow after facing hardship, tragedy, and trauma.

My counseling experiences over the years have been incredibly enriching and meaningful. I am continually moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings. Within these programs I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors.

“I just want a change that will work!” That’s a phrase that I have heard many times over my 10+ years in this field. If you desire real change and want help through this process I offer laughter filled, person-centered, evidence based interventions and guidance.

Everyone is on a journey, but not every journey is the same. My approach to therapy begins with meeting you where you are at in your journey and allowing you to create a space to share your story, supporting you as you address mental health issues you feel are creating challenges in your day-to-day life and creating the changes you desire. Together we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and more so you can begin to thrive in your journey through life.

Being heard is a universal human need. We all have a story or perspective that impacts our behaviors and decisions. Whether you have trauma in your past, experienced ongoing depression and anxiety, or are feeling confused in a life transition, having a qualified professional genuinely hear your perspective can be empowering! I strongly believe in validating the human experience and treating you with compassion and respect. I have worked with clients from many walks of life and have been honored to be part of their healing progress.

Welcoming new clients! You deserve a safe space to feel comfortable to enough to share your hurts, longings, goals, and things that are keeping you from being content and happy. It is possible to feel like yourself again, it is possible to let go of the past, it is possible to stop worrying about the future, and it is absolutely possible to live in the present. I want to be a passenger on your boat and help you shine a light on the stuck places that are weighing you down. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and LGBTQI+ issues, to name a few. Contact me, let's get you feeling some hope again.

I work with adults who are struggling with aging issues and caregivers of older adults experiencing caregiver stress and burnout with a focus on depression and anxiety, employment stress, relationship issues, anticipatory grief, as complicated grief with regard to loss of family or pets. I have years of experience working with the elderly on aging issues, illness, loss of ability, and difficulty adjusting to end of life issues – experienced by not only the elderly but for the family as well. I have extensive work history with geriatric and adult mental illness, hospice, and geriatric health.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. In that time, I have worked with individuals of many types, including children ages 2 1/2 to 18 and adults to age 70+. The families have ranged from those with small children to those with teenagers and have been coping with a wide range of family systems problems. My experience has covered many areas, from stressors related to school/work, to those coping with mental illnesses of depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, OCD, bipolar depression, mild to moderate autism spectrum disorder, and many other illnesses.

I offer counseling and psychotherapy to individuals and families. I have worked with a wide range of issues and people in a variety of settings. My therapeutic approach may differ somewhat with each client depending on their personality and what is agreed upon in our initial setting. I lean toward the client centered approach which allows the client to pace the sessions with what they are most comfortable dealing with first. Depending on the needs of the client I often focus on interpersonal interactions, cognitive change and behavioral techniques. The approach is a collaborative decision discussed during the initial session.

Having a compassionate counselor on your side during stressful times can be a great comfort. Whether you’re facing general stress, anxiety or depression Mana Life Counseling is here for you. Together, you’ll break down obstacles in your life and build a personal toolbox of coping strategies. Compassion and understanding are both key strategies in our approach, and through them, you’ll learn how to forge your way forward.
