Clients often reach out during times of distress when life situations or challenges have become overwhelming.

Here at East Stroudsburg Counseling Associates, we can help steer you towards the path of balancing these stressors and discovering new techniques and tools to manage life challenges. With motivation and support, change and adaptation is possible at any time in life.

Autumn is a caring and enthusiastic clinician with a passion for understanding her clients at a deep interpersonal level and walking with them in their struggles toward healing.

Life can become overwhelming, sometimes we forget it is a work in progress. The last few years have been a wild ride! Detours can happen making it easy to forget that the detours may be necessary to help us move forward. I enjoy having the privilege of helping individuals reach their full potential by helping to recognize their strengths through therapeutic intervention, self care, identifying coping strategies and learning to stay in the moment. The work can be difficult but that does not mean there may not be laughter, tears and progress.

Hi! My name is Yanira Briceno. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 15 years of experience in working with children, adults, and families. As someone who has been confronted with difficult challenges and struggles in life, I understand how overwhelming it could feel to take that first step in seeking help but I want you to know that your challenges and struggles matter and I am here to help. My mission is to create a safe-judgment free environment where you can feel seen, heard, and most importantly learn how to work through your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a manner that will help you live a healthy life.

First off, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. In my time as a counselor/therapist I have found that the process of selecting a therapist is at best awkward, and at worst terrifying. People simply don’t wake-up feeling upset one day and think, “Wow, I feel yucky, I think I will talk to a therapist.” More often than not a therapist is considered as a last resort, or after coming to a conclusion of, “I don’t know what else to do.”

I am a board certified, licensed professional counselor as well as a certified anger management specialist and a certified secondary school counselor. I have worked in the mental health profession for over 10 years. As a therapist I offer individual, couples, and family therapy in the areas of anxiety and mood issues, relationship and conflict resolution, stress and anger management, behavioral disorders, and more. My experience in a school setting offers a unique perspective in working with adolescents and young adults. I have a particular interest working with teenage and adult populations as well as the elderly and the distinctive challenges they face.

This might feel like a difficult first step in getting yourself the help you want and need. It is never easy prioritizing YOU when everything around you seems to be falling apart. I would like to help you on your journey to self-actualization, towards the person you are truly meant to be and towards the person you always knew you were. This therapeutic journey is about discovering and exploring together, as a team, which direction you want to go. As the driver, you will direct the sessions, but as the passenger, I will be there to assist and guide you along the way.

Hello! I am glad you took the first step in your mental health journey! I want to help meet your individual needs. My goal is to support you through therapy to assist you in what your desired outcomes and goals are. I look forward to being a part of your journey! My name is Erica Yerke, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been professionally practicing since 2017. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work at Bloomsburg University and my Master's Degree in Social Work at Marywood University.

In this ever-changing time of "do and be more," we face daily life stressors that challenge our mental wellness. These challenges can negatively impact our significant relationships, our children and our work/school performance. To seek the help of a therapist is a very personal decision. It may be one of the most important decisions you make. It may facilitate first steps towards changing and regaining control of your life. In 2008, I founded Aspire Counseling and Consulting (please view our WEBSITE) with the mission to inspire clients to reach their fullest potential within their communities, relationships, workplaces and schools.

Many of my clients have come to me after being diagnosed fully believing that their lives were over. Mental health issues do not define who you are as a person. They are just a small part of why we react in particular situations, in specific ways. I have a passion to help my clients and their families to discover not only how to overcome their mental health issues, but to thrive despite their mental health issues.
