Who We Are

At Pennsylvania Counseling Services, we believe in the value of every person. That belief is what drives us to help children, adults, and families discover their greatness—one conversation at a time.

Helping People Heal with Compassion and Creativity

Pennsylvania Counseling Services (PCS) provides mental health and addiction treatment for children, adolescents, and adults across South Central Pennsylvania. With over 40 years of experience and a multidisciplinary team, we approach therapy as an art—honoring the unique journey of every individual we serve.

We’re here to walk alongside people through life’s challenges, with services tailored to meet their needs and their stories.

From a Living Room to 26 Locations—and Still Growing

PCS was founded in 1983 in the home of Roy and Jan Smith, guided by a simple but powerful belief: people are valuable. What began as a small private practice has grown into a network of 26 clinics across 11 counties in South Central PA.

While much has changed, our mission has not. We continue to grow through the dedication of our creative and passionate team members who bring hope, connection, and healing into every interaction.
