About Me

Mary Ellen Pichiarello, M.S., LPC, CRC

Hello, thank you for taking the first step in your counseling journey. I’m excited to guide you through your next major life transition or coach you toward achieving your personal goals.

I offer my clients a perspective cultivated from a diverse range of experiences, spanning professional and career-oriented achievements. I earned a B.A. in Health Services Administration from Marywood College and an M.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Scranton. I have been a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) since 2006 and am now a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania.

For over 20 years, I have worked in higher education, where I have helped students achieve success by aiding them in building skills and becoming independent learners in the face of adversity. This involves assessing the unique needs of each student and providing them with the necessary tools to enhance their overall educational experience. I work one-on-one with students to identify their learning styles, improve organizational and time management skills, and increase motivation to achieve their academic goals. Through these methods, I have coached students facing academic or personal barriers to achieve success. This position has given me experience working with employers, school districts, and government agencies, and I bring that expertise to my clients.

Areas of Clinical Focus:

Disability (Learning Disabilities, Mental Health, Physical, etc.)
High-School & College Transition
Anxiety
Mood Disorders
Relationship Concerns
ADD/ADHD
Stress Management
Time Management
Career Development & Exploration
Caregiver Support
Chronic Illness and Women's Issues

While I specialize in working with individuals with disabilities, I strive to create individualized plans that allow clients to progress at their own pace based on their unique needs. I recognize the importance of establishing a relationship with each client to meet them where they are in their journey. Don’t hesitate to reach out because I promise to serve as both your coach and advocate in the pursuit of your therapeutic goals.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Ready for a change but not sure where to start? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Whether you're battling anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, relationship issues, or navigating a major life transition, I’m here to help you find real solutions—not just talk in circles. I aim to help you develop the tools to cope and thrive more independently.

In addition to those listed areas, I want to highlight that I have a special passion for working with first responders and military personnel—the ones who see the worst of the worst and are expected to carry it all without breaking. The weight of that responsibility is heavy, yet society often tells you to bottle it up and move on. But here’s the truth: first responders need an outlet too. And that outlet shouldn’t come with judgment or unrealistic expectations.

I’m here to challenge the stigma and help you find a way to process, heal, and move forward—on your terms.

I take a direct, solution-focused, no-nonsense approach while keeping things supportive and collaborative. That means we won’t just rehash the past—we’ll identify what’s working, ditch what’s not, and build a path forward that makes sense for you.

Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. It’s a place to be real, be challenged, and build the skills you need to move forward. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s get to work. I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.

Areas of clinical focus include but are not limited to:

First Responders
Trauma
Major Life Transitions
Anxiety
Depression & Mood Disorders
Grief & Loss
Stress Management
Substance Use
Women's Issues
Self-Esteem

The change you want starts with you. But you don’t have to go through it alone, and that is where our work together can begin, positively impacting your future. Dealing with relational issues, family conflicts, anxiety, depression? – Let’s take them head-on and work on crafting your skills so you can better manage these stressors.

I have a background in behavioral work with children, as well as systemic family therapy. This work has allowed me to gain knowledge of the generational trauma and patterns that can occur in the family system. It has provided me with a unique lens and treatment framework that allows me to further understand the impact of such patterns on the person and how to begin work to change them.

My approach is direct, but non-judgmental. I am here to co-discover with you how you can reach your goals, find mental wealth, and take the most out of each day. Together, we can discover new skills and sharpen the ones you already have to handle whatever life throws your way.

Everyone’s journey through life is different—I'm here to walk with you as you grow, heal, and thrive.

Areas of Clinical Focus:

Anxiety
Depression
Intellectual Disabilities
Behavioral Health (ODD, ADHD, ADD)

Parental/Caregiver Support
Stress Management
