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.

Counseling is an opportunity to explore concerns in your life in a safe and accepting environment. Sometimes internal struggles can weigh us down and interfere with enjoying life as we should. My passion to help people comes not only from my education and work experience, but also my life experiences. Having an alliance with your therapist has been shown to improve outcomes in numerous studies throughout the years. This is something I believe in and I have been able to make a natural connection with most clients who enter treatment. Through a collaborative relationship, we can explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This will provide insight into how negative thought patterns play a role in your current problems and help us develop the best strategies to combat them. The mind is a powerful thing, and through a process of developing and understanding yourself, you can learn to control it.

Through various experiences working with teens, adults, and seniors I was able to utilize integrative practice methods, including spirituality, CBT, and life experience to best help another individual redevelop hisher idea of life's journey.

People are unique and have varied life experiences that often are the templates for future interactions with others. Using a variety of interventions, specific to the individual, couple, or family, a collaborative interaction helps one to reach goals. Trained in many theoretical orientations I use what works best for the unique individual. From the difficult to treat child and adolescent, to the adult facing divorce, occupational crisis, or life re-evaluation, our work together is goal oriented.

Every conversation makes a difference. The differences may be subtle or they can be life-changing. I work in a direct and warm manner, creating an environment that is dynamic and safe. The therapeutic relationship is a very important one and can provide the basis for navigating through difficult life transitions, improving communication skills, healing from a loss, or exploring possibilities for enhancing one's life.
