Dr. Dianne Marino-Surovcik
Psychologist, PhD
Hellertown, PA 18055
As a Counseling Psychologist I am searching to find health or “ego strength“ in a person. People are capable of having internal positive and negative aspects in play at all times. Working from a psychodynamic model to see the whole clinical picture, I believe insight is crucial but it doesn’t guarantee behavior change. To that end I work from a cognitive and behavioral model to build strength.

Denise L Mikuta
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC, CPC
Hellertown, PA 18055
Many of the people I work with are caregivers and leaders who carry significant responsibility for others—healthcare professionals, therapists, clergy, educators, administrators, and others in helping roles. While they appear steady and capable externally, they often feel the quiet weight of holding so much for others. They are thoughtful individuals who value reflection and are seeking renewal, resilience, and deeper integration between their inner lives and outward responsibilities.

You may have been told, "That happened a long time ago. You should be over it by now." But your mind and body don't always work that way. If painful childhood experiences still affect your relationships, confidence, emotions, or the way you respond to stress, you're not alone. Many people find themselves reacting to situations in ways that don't make sense. Maybe you become overwhelmed by criticism, struggle to trust others, constantly feel on edge, or find yourself replaying memories you wish you could forget. Even though you know those experiences are in the past, they still feel very present.

Feeling the struggle - both personally and with the weight of the world today? It might feel like the stress is too just much. This sadness and anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating, and we might even feel grief. We can grieve the loss of a person, a relationship, a community, a job, or an identity. Grief is a natural response to all kinds of loss - changing relationships, losing a job, moving to a new city, experiencing decreased physical or mental functioning, confronting our own mortality, or becoming disillusioned about the state of the world. We can also grieve the loss of a vision or expectation for the future.

East Stroudsburg, PA 18301
My approach brings 36 years of professional experience, often a stylish hat, and two sometimes noisy corgis to the therapy relationship. I am interested in working with people who seek guidance in finding personal meaning and maximizing their quality of life. I operate from a strengths-based perspective that views my client as a unique person with the capacity for change rather than some "ism" or diagnosis. I prefer not to dwell with people who are "stuck in a victim role" and see themselves as powerless. No conversations are too difficult nor off limits. My perspective is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and existentialism.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
