Adults Therapists in Scranton, PA

I have worked to create an integrated, evidence-based, and holistic group practice where my vision of the ideal environment for growth can unfold. The associates in the practice have diverse backgrounds, interests, and training. No matter what problem or difficulty with which you present, someone in our group can assist you. We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.

Our associates believe that clients are the experts on their lives and we are guides to help them get to their ideal selves. We use cognitive-behavioral, insight oriented therapy as well as other modalities to help clients achieve their goals. While we are nurturing and kind as therapists, we also believe in keeping clients accountable to work toward their initial purpose for entering therapy. We are qualified to work with most issues that a client may present with, with the exception of sexual offenders.

I am a 'think outside of the box' generalist psychologist that strives to aid individuals in achieving their goals and an overall sense of mental wellness. I am devoted to delivering evidence-based treatments, which are well-researched treatments, demonstrated to be effective in treating specific conditions. I primarily practice cognitive-behavior therapy, which focuses on making active changes to the thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors that contribute to individual struggles. It is my goal as a professional to 'meet you where you are at' and tailor treatment to best address your needs.

Dr. Refice has been in practice for more than 30 years, earning a well respected reputation in the community. He has a number of licensed and experienced professionals associated with his practice. Their approach to therapy is a practical and interactive, providing support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems. With sensitivity and compassion, clients are encouraged to find solutions to a wide range of life changes and psychological issues.

As a psychologist I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, and other concerns using psychotherapy. This means that I will meet with you regularly and use empirically supported methods to help you with your concerns. My primary focus is the treatment of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, relationship distress, academic or occupational stress, and issues of adjustment. I also have experience helping people cope with and adjust to living with various medical conditions.

As a Licenced Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor with advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I specialize in working with couples and children. I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with families to help them cope with a range of emotional, developmental, or situational issues.

I am a license professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I graduated from The University of Scranton where I received a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, oncology and resilience counseling, grief counseling, addictions counseling, co-occurring disorders and other severe mental health disorders, as well as personality disorders, couples therapy, and group therapy. My method of therapy mainly involves psychoanalytic theory.

I enjoy working with a variety of people from all walks of life. Each person comes with their own set of strengths, accomplishments, challenges, mistakes, goals, ideas, and questions. I have worked with people who have dealt with anxiety, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, relationship issues, stress, low self esteem, families with children on the autism spectrum, college struggles, chronic mental health issues,and Asperger's syndrome among others. I see my role as counselor as someone who will listen and help the client brainstorm different ways of reacting to the world, while exploring ways to ultimately accept and become the person one strives to be.

Welcome! The therapists at MMG Counseling understand that taking the leap to talk to a therapist can be a nerve wracking experience in itself. However, once you do decide to take the leap, our hope is that you will feel it is a strength, and you've made a healthy step towards better self-care. From our first session on, you will be treated with kindness and respect. You will feel validated and safe to explore all of your feelings, thoughts and emotions, and as a result, you will have the opportunity to gain insights to make healthy changes in your life.

I am dedicated to helping each of my clients based on their own individual needs. Everyone experiences stress, grief, anxiety, depression etc, differently and therefore needs to be treated according to what will work best for them. There are many myths about therapy and I am focused on debunking those. I DO NOT think you are crazy and I cannot read your mind. Therapy is hard work, but worth it. I want to see you get better and live the life you want and deserve.

My orientation is to help a person grow beyond his or her legacy and to resolve underlying issues and conflicts, in order to assist one in becoming a healthier human being. Successful treatment helps someone work through particular difficulties to a [significant] enough degree so that he or she is not doomed to repeat mistakes, symptoms, and less healthy ways of engaging with the world. The potential personal growth can lead to [meaningfully] improved interpersonal relationships, overall adaptation, and contributions to and enjoyment of life. This psychotherapy takes place in a concerned, supportive, nonjudgmental, safe environment with the utmost confidentiality.

I have been working with children and families for over 13 years. My belief is an individual needs to make the decision for the changes in their life. I hope to assist those in need to build the appropriate skills necessary to achieve their goals. I have experience in the following areas: relationship counseling, consistent parenting, couples therapy, impulse control, appropriate coping skills, positive peer and sibling interaction, anger management, anxiety, trauma, etc.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over forty years of experience. My approach is humanistic, in that I believe in the inherent goodness and strength of each individual, and will provide you with compassion, empowerment, support, and an environment that is safe and nonjudgmental. My approach is also cognitive-behavioral, in that when appropriate, I will help you challenge and overcome self-defeating thoughts (i.e. inner critic) and behaviors (i.e. non-assertiveness or avoidance). In their place, you will be able to learn healthier coping strategies and more positive and realistic thinking.

Welcome to Sweeney Counseling! I understand that counseling can be a big step, but I am here to meet you where you are at in life's difficult times.

Stress, anxiety and unhappiness create chaos that inhibits living our most authentic life, and stop us from fulfilling the potential we know we have inside. Are you tired of living in exhaustion and fear; do you seek to manifest all you know life has to offer? If so, and you are ready to make changes, then I am honored to walk with you. I have worked for over 20 years in both private and educational settings, helping my clients understand the root causes of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My approach to assessment and therapy is anchored in attachment theory and is client-centered, and strength-based.

Are you searching for a warm and safe place, a safe person with whom you can share your story? In my practice, my goal is to create that space for you, to hold that space for you in each session so that you can bring all that has been weighing you down and together we can lift the burden. I am more than happy to help you find that space in person or over video therapy if that is more comfortable for you. I offer warmth, caring, and clinical expertise gained through extensive training from my grad program at Columbia University and postgraduate training at the Center for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of NJ.
