Having the opportunity to work in the Cumberland county office of PCS has truly been a gift. The continuous guidance, encouragement and support has allowed for me to begin finding myself as a therapist.
Children’s Services
I want to be a therapist because representation matters. Communities deserve to have therapist who are representative of the population they serve.
During my internship PCS has taught me that working in an environment that embraces individuality and ESFT is critical in becoming a confident and competent therapist.
The best thing about working for PCS is having the opportunity to receive guidance/ supervision from my program director and clinical consultant.

Ice cream, Genuine connections and conversations
Working at PCS has been a true joy. I get to wake up and come to work every day, knowing that I am making a difference in individual’s lives and providing a desperately needed mental health service.
I interned in Schuylkill County as a Family Based Therapist from Jan 2022-May 2023 and now am happily a full-time MHP in family based in the county.
I want to be a therapist to increase access to mental health services. I want to create a space to discuss mental health issues, and help client in co-discovering appropriate treatment goals.
PCS has taught me to appreciate the littlest things in life more and to never stop learning new ways to help others.
The best thing about working at PCS has been the ability to grow as an emerging professional in the mental health field. I loved the ability to have group and team direct supervision weekly. I also have constant support from my supervisors and other family based teams.

A fun fact about me is that am a dog lover and have two Labrador Retriever puppies of my own named Sunny & Maple.
I can’t live without sunshine. Even on tough days, feeling the sun on your face can be very helpful.
