Amy Marshall, Owner of Counseling & Life Coaching, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, CPCS, LPC
Adolescents face a host of issues that can cause parents to seek help for them. You are taking a brave step in getting help for your adolescent. I have over a decade of experience to assist your adolescent in improving their lives through Person-Centered approaches, Expressive Arts, and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. Family therapy for mom or dad is also integrated to assist with improving communication and parenting strategies if or when needed.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
Child and Adolescent Issues often present differently than adults. With this in mind, it is important to work at a child or adolescent's developmental level. I work with these special clients to meet them where they are, and to address their specific areas of need, including friendships, relationships, bullying, and academics. Suicidal ideation is also a rising concern among this population.
As a Licensed Psychologist and School Psychologist in PA, I am able to provide both therapy and evaluations for your child or adolescent.

We work with children and their parents across the lifespan. In our experience, we find that a combination of working both with child and parents leads to the most effective and lasting results.
