Hello! My name is Mariah Cooney and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Supervisor at Makin Wellness. I utilize a Person-Centered and Solution-Focused approach to support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship conflicts and life transitions. Through use of Reality and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions, clients are empowered to achieve the personal and professional goals they set for themselves.

My therapy approach is client-centered care that utilizes solution-based and strength-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Therapy. My therapeutic process begins with finding the root cause of the issues and identifying the unhelpful beliefs and behaviors attached to those issues. We will work together in finding new supportive, healthful, and practical behaviors and thought patterns to help you achieve a happier and more peaceful life.

Do you feel depressed or overwhelmed by life? Do you feel like you need to make a change but don’t know how? You’re not alone; these feelings and situations are common things that we all experience at times. Life can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it on your own. Whether or not you’ve been to therapy before, acknowledging that you want help in your journey towards a happier and healthier life is an important step. Therapy can help you become more self-aware and develop a better understanding of who you are and what you need. My goal is to support you in this process and help you find the tools that work for you.

I am a clinical psychologist who practices psychodynamic psychotherapy with older adolescents, young adults, and adults.

My ideal client is working with women who are struggling with their self-esteem, experience anxiety symptoms and are interested in identifying healthy coping tools to manage life stressors. In addition, I enjoy working with individuals who are active participants in the therapeutic process.

I work with women who struggle with blended high/low self esteem . To the outside world, we are successful and have our shit together. Except we are masters at hiding pain. Inside, we have a black hole filled with guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy. We feel stress managing family, life, career, relationships, and don't feel good enough. We carry trauma in our bodies and it shows up in our daily life. From a young age, we learned self betrayal was pivotal to be worthy of love and to feel good enough. We didn't have a voice. My focus is repairing the damage due to past experiences and how it’s created a critical view to our own self.

My ideal client is prepared to initiate changes in their life to promote wellness. They are prepared to process internal and external contributors to their mood, discuss options for improvement, and practice healthier skills that will assist in achieving their personal goals. My ideal client is internally motivated and desires emotional balance from concerns such as anxiety, depression, impaired self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. They arrive to treatment with goals in mind, and will actively work to experience relief of distressing symptoms.

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

Making the decision to pursue therapy is a huge step. It’s easy to push things down or avoid them, but making the choice to reach out shows strength. Maybe you’ve never had a safe space to share your true thoughts and feelings, or felt truly heard and understood. Let’s build that together here. My interests include assisting individuals in developing self-esteem and self-concept, as well as healthy and effective relationships with family, friends or partners. I also have experience working with those with anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I do not work with families or couples.

Asking for help or support can be scary. Making that step to get therapy takes a great deal of strength. Therapy gives people the opportunity to develop effective and healthy responses to life's stressors. I work to create a safe holding environment to allow you to feel comfortable being yourself. I work with clients to help them develop awareness over their behaviors, thoughts, patterns, and feelings. I like to get to the source rather than just focus on the symptoms.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth DeLullo and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over 10 years experience working with people from age 4 to 89. One of the best things about coming to therapy is the amount of courage it took for you to get here. You know what you want out of life and you know when you are not getting it. There is nothing I dislike more than to see human suffering. I have gone through my own and was determined to not let it ruin my life. Sometimes all it takes if for you to feel heard, understood, and feel validated.

"Life is a journey and only you hold the map," however you don't have to navigate alone. I truly believe in the healing power of human connection and will walk beside you as we work together to develop a healthier, happier you. Therapy is a collaborative process during which I will listen to, respect, and support you. I am eclectic in my approach and will tailor your treatment to an approach that is the best fit for you and your needs.
