Patricia LaMana, LCSW

Great to meet you!

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA with over 15 years of experience working with wonderful people from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast. I love to partner with clients to assist with anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, grief and anything else holding you back from your best life. I provide evidenced based therapies so you can find support, gain coping skills, develop new resilience to stress and increase the joy in your life.

​

A bit about my approach to therapy:

​

I see therapy as a partnership. Building trust is essential to allowing oneself to be open to the hard work of change. Each client’s experience is unique, and it is my job to find the intervention/tools that best suit the individuals needs and that will provide for the best outcomes within the therapeutic alliance. Some of the approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, Solution Focused, and psychodynamic training and skills to achieve these outcomes.

​

What you can expect from our first session:

​

We start where you want to start. If there is an immediate need to be addressed let’s get to it. However, if it is a longer term issue then lets take time to understand how it got to where it is today. Getting your full history will be an essential step to develop a treatment plan - a road map to where you want to be - within our first few sessions.
