Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in York, PA

I’m a therapist who keeps it real. Life gets overwhelming, and you don’t have to pretend with me. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, substance use, relationship stress, or court‐related challenges, I’m here to help you sort through the chaos and find your footing again. I’m supportive, honest, and easy to talk to — and I’ll walk with you as you learn new skills, break old patterns, and build a life that feels more stable and aligned with who you want to be.

More than a decade into this work, I've sat with a lot of different kinds of pain — anxiety that doesn't quiet down, grief that doesn't follow a schedule, depression that dulls everything, and the particular exhaustion of being a woman navigating a world that asks a great deal of you. I became a therapist because I believe you shouldn't have to white-knuckle your way through hard seasons alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Pittsburgh, and I work with adults, teens, and seniors across Pennsylvania via telehealth. I'm direct, I'm warm, and I take this work seriously.

Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm a U.S. Army veteran and Pennsylvania native who returned home to earn my Master of Social Work and pursue my passion for helping others as a therapist. I enjoy creating a space where people can openly discuss life's challenges, including grief, loss, anxiety, and depression. My therapy style is practical and solution-focused, with an emphasis on finding what works for you. I see therapy as a collaborative process of learning, experimenting, and adjusting along the way, helping you build tools and strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. When I'm not working, you'll find me cooking, baking, exercising, or spoiling my cat.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, understood for who you are, and free from judgment. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Philosophy at Duquesne University and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Waynesburg University. I have worked in the mental health field for about five years, including three years in a psychiatric hospital, and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Throughout my career, I've supported clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, identity exploration, and other challenges. I enjoy getting to know each person and understanding the experiences, relationships, and circumstances that have shaped who they are.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize the changes you want to make, and find a way forward that feels meaningful to you. I believe change is possible, even when it isn't always easy, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

Welcome! I'm Kerriann and I became a therapist because I love helping others to become the best version of themselves possible. My clients choose me because I'm warm, gentle, and help them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I'm a licensed therapist (LCSW-C), a board-approved supervisor, and received my MSW from the University of Maryland SSW. I have extensive training in my areas of specialty, which are grief and loss, parenting, and anxiety.
