Grief counselors and therapists in Pennsylvania

Hi there! My name is Kalie, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in PA. I graduated from Edinboro University with a Masters of Social Work, and have worked in the mental health and insurance fields for 10+years. I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults both in community and in direct outpatient therapy environments.

Create and live the meaning of your life, whether by improving relationships, thriving within your career, enduring struggle, or saying goodbye. We can help you overcome limiting beliefs or patterns. We can help you embrace new perspectives and solve the problems that need solving. We can help you transcend any setbacks you have experienced, and determine how you can best serve others. Therapy does not have to be rigid; humor is encouraged. We can have fun while applying the best techniques psychology has produced.

I am August Irving, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), and the owner of Life Lessons Counseling, LLC. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of clients, I have a special interest in supporting women through midlife and perinatal challenges. My approach is collaborative and practical, focused on building resilience, clarity, and sustainable change. I offer therapy in person in Clinton, Mississippi, and virtually throughout Mississippi and Pennsylvania.

Elisabetta Ambron is licensed psychologist who completed her PhD in psychology and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh. Her knowledge in cognitive neuroscience has equipped her with a unique understanding of the relationship between body and brain.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

I’ve been providing counseling since the 1990s. I hold a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I’m also a tenured psychology professor. My clients tend to share certain worries and concerns that might best be summed up as feeling a sense of meaninglessness, being unproductive, and not relating well with others. I work with both individuals and couples. Among my clients are young adults trying to sort things out, medically compromised patients, adults waylaid by life and relationship transitions, and people struggling with anxiety and depression.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or adjusting to a new chapter, I aim to create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, with much of my career dedicated to working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I specialize in helping people understand how trauma and other life experiences can affect their emotions, relationships, behaviors, and the way they see themselves. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-based approaches. I am also a Certified Yoga Instructor and Reiki Master, which has deepened my appreciation for mindfulness and the connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
