Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Alkanease Garrett

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced a variety of challenges as it relates to mood disorders, emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, work stress, financial stress, ADHD, ODD, LGBTQIA matters, relationship challenges, adjustment to life’s challenges, gender identity, bipolar, etc.

I have a very welcoming and compassionate approach to counseling. My style encompasses the belief that “people can and will change if they use the proper tools.” Another personal view is that “we all would choose a more fulfilling life if we knew how to.” With that said, my goal is to assist you in learning how to be your healthiest self. I will guide you in dissecting the internal processes that have led to unhealthy mental and behavioral patterns.

We work as a team, as I use techniques and approaches to reduce symptoms and increase wellness and health outcomes. I often use theoretical methods: cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, brief strategic therapy, and person-centered, to name a few, and I always practice from a strengths-based perspective. Respect, self-determination, and compassion are always practiced throughout treatment. The road to recovery can seem challenging, but a fulfilling life can be experienced healthier with the will to take the first step in the healing process. You have taken that first step.

I am grateful to work with you along your journey.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Alexis Haines

Let the healing begin! I have been exposed to many different types of therapy and traumas. Still, I have spent the most time working with sexual issues as well as chemical dependency. I enjoy helping clients find the root of their problems,  resolve past trauma, or learn how to cope with difficult life journeys. I take great pride in listening and retaining the most minor details of a client’s story.

I love working with couples and families to help them understand communication and grow a deeper connection. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is a technique I often utilize, along with journaling, narrative therapy, thinking error identification, and role-play scenarios.

If those qualities align with your goals, please schedule a session today!

Licensed Professional Counselor

Charlene Myers

My training to be a counselor began as a young girl living overseas, experiencing different cultures, ethnic groups, values, and norms and learning how those impact people in society. I realized at an early age the importance of mental health and how it contributes to the fullness of your life. My worldview helped me gain knowledge, understanding, and sensitivity to cultural concerns and challenges. As I grew older and experienced more of life, I realized how important it was to provide a place for people of all cultures to come and work through their life issues.

My undergraduate studies prepared me from a social work and D&A perspective. My graduate studies prepared me to use my clinical skills and training to help those seeking counseling in the private and public mental health arenas. I have provided those services in a variety of different settings. Most of my experience has been in the public mental health field: from working as a mental health provider in an FQHC facility to being a therapist in a forensic clinic, to working at an inpatient dual diagnosis/co-occurring treatment facility, to working as a therapist in an EAP program, and working within my own private practice, each setting has equipped, trained, and prepared and helped me for the next.

Within each of those settings, I have been able to use my clinical skills and knowledge, as my language skills in providing counseling in Spanish for those of Spanish-speaking cultures, as well as stretching myself to work with populations such as sex offenders, drug addicts, and more, without judgment. It has been some of the most rewarding and humbling experiences I have had thus far. Through it all, I have maintained integrity, honesty, confidentiality, tenacity, respect for others, empathy, acceptance, and diversity as some of my most treasured practiced core values.

I look forward to continuing to utilize my skills and training to help those seeking counseling services within the private sector.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about working with people and understanding the powerful dynamics between our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. This passion motivated me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Fairfield University and then obtain a master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University.

Michael Michnya

My vision is of a world full of kind, loving, compassionate people who live and work peacefully together to provide abundance for all. My purpose is to help people learn, grow, and make new and better choices to improve their lives and relationships so that they can live as long, healthy, happy, loving, connected, and meaningful lives as possible. My mission is to use my “signature strengths” of creativity, optimism, knowledge, and research-tested methods to encourage and foster the personal, relational, and spiritual growth and change needed to make that change possible.

I specialize in building relationships and emotional development: I help parents get more cooperation and compliance from their children with less energy so they can enjoy each other; I help couples beat the odds to stay happily married; I help all kinds of creative people overcome barriers and roadblocks to express their artistic vision entirely, and I help diverse individuals and families adjust to the inevitable and often tricky transitions we all face in life.

I am dedicated to helping everyone I work with access and use their creativity to find and add the resources they need to their strengths so they can achieve therapeutic goals as quickly as possible. My most successful clients believe that positive change is possible, are hopeful about the future, and are ready for change. They understand that true and lasting change comes from within and requires patience and persistence.

They value our time together and trust our relationship enough to do the work (even when it gets difficult) in and between sessions. As long as you appreciate creativity, risk-taking, and open, honest communication, attend sessions on time, do assigned homework, and are willing to describe what is and isn’t working genuinely, I want to work with and help you. When you’re ready for success, I would be honored to help you find the solutions that work and make the last changes so that you can live your very own ‘happily ever after’!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Marchelle Coleman

My first exposure to the field of social work was working with adults faced with mental health illnesses. I assisted adults by supporting them in their daily living activities, teaching them to organize their work and home lives, and enabling them to live independently and thrive socially in the community. This would not have been possible without individualized support. Becoming familiar with individuals with mental health illness afforded me significant insight into the treatment of individuals with mental illness by society and the frequent misunderstanding regarding mental illness as a whole.

This realization motivated me to advocate for equality and resources for individuals who need support and to increase awareness of the stigma facing those with all types of mental health issues. After several months, I was afforded the opportunity to work with incarcerated youths. I provided academic support, individual and group counseling, and family reunification. I worked in this capacity as a full-time social worker for 3 years before moving on to the public school sector.

I have worked as a School Social Worker in public schools for over 20 years. Working with students with various academic, behavioral, and social issues has been my life’s work. While working as a school social worker, I worked in multiple group homes and youth facilities. I provided many years of private therapy services for youths, adolescents, and adults.

My vision is of a world full of kind, loving, compassionate people who live and work peacefully together to provide abundance for all. My purpose is to help people learn, grow, and make new and better choices to improve their lives and relationships so that they can live as long, healthy, happy, loving, connected, and meaningful lives as possible. My mission is to use my “signature strengths” of creativity, optimism, knowledge, and research-tested methods to encourage and foster the personal, relational, and spiritual growth and change needed to make that change possible.

I specialize in building relationships and emotional development: I help parents get more cooperation and compliance from their children with less energy so they can enjoy each other; I help couples beat the odds to stay happily married; I help all kinds of creative people overcome barriers and roadblocks to express their artistic vision entirely, and I help diverse individuals and families adjust to the inevitable and often tricky transitions we all face in life.

I am dedicated to helping everyone I work with access and use their creativity to find and add the resources they need to their strengths so they can achieve therapeutic goals as quickly as possible. My most successful clients believe that positive change is possible, are hopeful about the future, and are ready for change. They understand that true and lasting change comes from within and requires patience and persistence.

They value our time together and trust our relationship enough to do the work (even when it gets difficult) in and between sessions. As long as you appreciate creativity, risk-taking, and open, honest communication, attend sessions on time, do assigned homework, and are willing to describe what is and isn’t working genuinely, I want to work with and help you. When you’re ready for success, I would be honored to help you find the solutions that work and make the last changes so that you can live your very own ‘happily ever after’!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Marchelle Coleman

My first exposure to the field of social work was working with adults faced with mental health illnesses. I assisted adults by supporting them in their daily living activities, teaching them to organize their work and home lives, and enabling them to live independently and thrive socially in the community. This would not have been possible without individualized support. Becoming familiar with individuals with mental health illness afforded me significant insight into the treatment of individuals with mental illness by society and the frequent misunderstanding regarding mental illness as a whole.

This realization motivated me to advocate for equality and resources for individuals who need support and to increase awareness of the stigma facing those with all types of mental health issues. After several months, I was afforded the opportunity to work with incarcerated youths. I provided academic support, individual and group counseling, and family reunification. I worked in this capacity as a full-time social worker for 3 years before moving on to the public school sector.

I have worked as a School Social Worker in public schools for over 20 years. Working with students with various academic, behavioral, and social issues has been my life’s work. While working as a school social worker, I worked in multiple group homes and youth facilities. I provided many years of private therapy services for youths, adolescents, and adults.

Let me help you bring healing and understanding to life’s difficulties so you can move past them and into a better mind space. I am experienced in all areas of mental health, but I am highly effective in treating stress, anxiety, and depression.
