Marianne Bartos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with over 15 years of experience providing therapeutic care to adults seeking help with depression, anxiety, trauma, difficult life transitions, and many other challenges.

I believe effective mental health care begins with listening carefully and understanding the whole person, not simply identifying symptoms. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, cultural background, personal values, and treatment goals so we can develop a plan that feels both clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar challenges, psychosis, trauma, mood-related challenges, and substance use. Depending on each patient’s needs, treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and practical coping skills. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult experiences. When spirituality is important to a patient, I welcome incorporating it into treatment. My goal is to help each person better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen their ability to manage challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater stability and well-being.

I provide psychotherapy for adults, children, and individuals with special needs, trauma, and autism (ASD), with a specialty working with children experiencing challenges to their mental health, such as adoption, divorce, and grief. My unique approach utilizes both verbal and creative imaging techniques. This combination is particularly effective with both adults and children of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, socialization, focus, and concentration.

This opens the door to modeling appropriate interpersonal communication skills, which can then be utilized in the larger environment of everyday life.

Equally import, is finding and strengthening what you already enjoy in your life and is working well. Using this strength based vantage point, we detemine what needs to change and the best tools to use to making these changes for you, or a family member.

Working with people as they become more free to choose what to do, where to go and who to be with is enormously gratifying. I also really enjoy working with people who have difficulties fully tapping into their innate talents to create satisfying relationships and academic successes, because of executive functioning differences such as ADHD. Individual's who are on the spectrum have different ways of experiencing the world, and I can help them translate their experiences to better mesh with those around them.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past, and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard, and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life.
