COUNSELING SERVICES

We provide individual, family, group, and marital counseling to those in need, with the goals of reducing stress and tension, improving communication, and providing the client with proven tools with which to address their concerns.  Our services are provided by skilled, professional staff, many of who have master's degrees in counseling or social work and are licensed or certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other professional organizations.
