Carolyn DeMarra, MS, LPC, CBIS

Hello and welcome! I know how difficult and scary it can be to take that first step towards making positive, lasting changes when life feels overwhelming or hopeless. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk beside you on that journey. Are you looking to improve your relationships, experiencing a stressful event, or need some guidance with making important life choices? I am here to provide support and work with you as a collaborative partner.

I received my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Millersville University and am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I am also a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) and have over 8 years of experience working with adults who have sustained physical and cognitive changes as a result of car accidents, falls, and other traumatic events. In addition, I have also worked with both adults and adolescents to address a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, gender related issues, and general life adjustments. While I most commonly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I also emphasize the importance of mindfulness and self-care throughout the therapeutic process.

I look forward to hearing from you and sharing in your experience of growth and self-discovery!

Ruth O’Gara, LCSW

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am glad that you are taking the first step towards finding support – sometimes that can be the hardest part.

I earned my Masters of Social Work from the University of Denver in Colorado and have provided outpatient therapy in a variety of settings. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges and family conflict. I am comfortable working with individuals from childhood through adulthood, as well as families.

I will work with you to create an authentic and down to earth space where you feel comfortable sharing about your past and your present and beginning to move towards change. I will be your partner in considering new perspectives, learning new tools for coping, and uncovering the solutions that you already possess. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and strategic family therapy. I also integrate art and play into sessions when appropriate. My goal is that you leave each session feeling empowered and optimistic about your journey.

I wish you all the best  and hope we have a chance to connect.
