If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief or loss it may benefit you to reach out. I can work with you to stabilize your relationships, identify professional goals and navigate life transitions intentionally and with hope.
Amy's information: I view therapy as a collaborative space to explore, grow, and learn together. I strive to provide support, resources, and psycho-education tailored to your individual needs. I specialize in ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, health related concerns, and grief. My therapeutic style is solution-focused and strengths-based. I draw from various therapeutic modalities including values-based and person-centered approaches. I enjoy incorporating humor and hands-on experiences when appropriate. I have over 10 years of experience in the higher education and counseling fields. Some of my previous experiences include accessibility services, disability compliance, vocational rehabilitation, and academic coaching. Seeking support takes courage. I admire your decision to take this step. Let’s get started. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/amy-arnold-allentown-pa/1290696
My clients experience sadness and anxiety and adjustment to leaving home and college. Transitions are difficult and they need coaching and mentoring as well as counseling. Meeting new people roommates and classes are major stressors. Students get overwhelmed. Students who I see also worry about managing the social aspects as well.
I work primarily with college students and young adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and general life stressors. I have many years of experiencing working at different universities in the Pittsburgh area, which is helpful to my work with students as I am particularly knowledgeable about resources, common stressors students at each school experience, and how best to navigate university systems when you are struggling emotionally. I am experienced in supporting international, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ students. I have a warm, conversational style, and am adept at helping students gain skills and discover tools for managing their emotional struggles at the pace that works best for them.
I help people to transform their lives. My favorite part of this work is helping people to find their hidden resources and potential. Having been in practice for 40 years now, I have a lot of tools in my toolbox to help you create the life YOU want.
Throughout the stages of life, we struggle to identify and embrace who we are and act with confidence in the midst of adversity. Sometimes, life is not kind and we need guidance and support to rediscover our strength and find hope and overall life success. If you are experiencing loss, life change, or wondering what is next for you, I can help with high quality, caring, and proven mental health counseling to support you in your journey towards overall mental and emotional wellness. You don’t have to do this alone! Take the next step by making an appointment today!

Struggling from anxiety and/or depression? Having a hard time managing relationships? Can't get past things that have happened in your life? Want to work on problems with family members, partner or children? I know how to help! My approach to therapy begins with establishing the therapeutic relationship because I strongly believe it is the foundation to making change in your life. From there, I will integrate person-centered, trauma-informed, and skills-based approaches to help you achieve your goals. I am also trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help you heal from difficult experiences in order to reduce symptoms, triggers, and stressors. I have experience working with adults, children, couples, and families and bring a eclectic presence to the therapy room to meet the needs of all my clients.
I have an eclectic background of professional experience! I started out working in field of substance abuse, then went into hospital social work, which led me to home hospice work. I did some home-based services with children and families, and then landed in private practice where I feel very grateful for what I get to do as a therapist! I have several years experience counseling at a small liberal arts college with college students with many different presenting issues., such as first gen issues, anxiety, stress, ADHD, over-drinking, family conflicts, relationship struggles, and depression, to name a few. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which has now become my therapeutic intervention of choice! I use a holistic approach considering mind, body, and spirit in all aspects of the treatment approach. I do often offer groups called Processing Pain, a spiritual formation group, as well as a healthy weight loss/self esteem group! I do offer a non-denominational, Christian-based approach to students with whom this is important to.

Hi! I'm Brianna (Bri) Strein & I work with Seasons of Hope and Healing, LLC. Physical offices are located in Camp hill, Pittsburgh and Warren Pennsylvania. However, I have the privilege to accept virtually state wide! I have a deep commitment to fostering mental well-being through a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy. I believe in the power of resilience and growth and will work with you throughout your healing journey. I understand the importance of having a therapist you feel comfortable seeing and talking to weekly. It's especially important to feel heard; I value the time I will have to work collaboratively with you while navigating life's challenges. I hope to offer a virtual safe space that you look forward to logging into.
Making that first call feels like failing. You have "no time for therapy"--you're already spread thin. You've tried everything, but nothing seems to be working. And even when it does, it's only for a moment. You are ready to feel like you are thriving instead of merely surviving. ...It's a little terrifying to think about diving into the things weighing you down though, right? Ask yourself this (and be honest!): "Can I keep going like I am now? And if I do, what will that look like?" Change occurs when--despite the discomfort and not quite knowing how you'll get there--all you know is you can't keep doing what you're doing. I've been told by many clients that I really hear them. I believe in asking YOU what you'd like to gain from therapy and asking YOU about your goals--not just basing them on a diagnosis. I don't talk *at* you--I talk *with* you. I take a "real" and informal approach. Laughter, making faces or noises are all acceptable ways to express emotions! I welcome you to bring coffee (or water or tea!) and sit wherever you feel comfortable in the room. It doesn't matter your age--you can color or draw, or just sit back and drink your coffee while we chat. I have a laid back style and it's important that my therapy room is a comfortable, relaxing environment. Reach out--let's see if we may be a good fit!
