I am Vincent L. Carolan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Advanced Addictions Counselor with over 36 years of experience. My background in mental health and substance abuse has allowed me to work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and co-occurring illnesses. I maintain special interest in autism and neurodiverse thought processes, and I am fascinated by working with individuals who are environmentally compromised by personality disorders. There is always a solution if you can see the problem.
I meet clients where they are and initiate therapy with their permission, maintaining dignity and respect in all interactions. I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and age ranges. I utilize evidence-based modalities and skills developed through 36 years of direct service.
My promise to you is that you are my priority during our time in session. If research outside of that time is needed, I will spend that time helping you secure the answers and solutions that inspired your path to therapy. I don't know any other way to do this job. Full commitment to you.

My name is Natalie and I graduated with my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University in 2025, with a certificate in telehealth counseling. I have experience working with clients from ages five to 85, supporting them through grief, loss, life transitions, and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression.

I guide clients in building resilience, finding balance, and fostering hope.
My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to each individual's needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and strengths-based interventions. I also incorporate art therapy to help clients express emotions and process difficult experiences.
My passion for grief counseling is rooted in my own experiences with loss, deepening my understanding of its impact. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. You do not have to face this alone—your healing journey can begin today.

Erin: My go-to approach for helping individuals struggling with PTSD or past trauma is cognitive behavioral therapy with consistent and strong validation for their experiences.
Jami: My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is using a mix of CBT and inner child work. I find this helps clients not only cope with present symptoms of PTSD, but also heal the root cause of those symptoms on a deeper, emotional level.
Erin: In treating PTSD, I help clients face and process their trauma while teaching clients distress tolerance relaxation exercises. In processing their trauma, I help clients identify the beliefs they have generated around their experiences, assess the accuracy of those beliefs, reflect on how those beliefs may be impacting their lives, and modify those beliefs as needed to move forward more effectively from the trauma.
Jami: I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:
Erin: I know that clients are making meaningful progress in a few ways. First, I can usually tell by the way in which clients are talking about their experiences. I can hear when the tools we discuss are being applied in a way that expands their perspective and helps them to manage their symptoms more effectively. Second, clients typically tell me that they are feeling better with a reduction in the severity of their negative symptoms. Third, I see progress through the increase of goal-directed behaviors over time. These signs of progress make this job so incredibly rewarding!
Jami: I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they have a better grasp on the root of their trauma, can successfully use grounding skills, and are open to exploring and talking about their trauma for the goal of healing.
Erin: Individuals can supplement their time in trauma therapy with meditation, physical movement, bibliotherapy, and support groups as needed.
Jami: Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with daily practice of grounding skills, journaling, and engaging in healthy self-care outlets. I also share podcast and book recommendations with my clients that align with what we're learning in session to help supplement therapy and assist between visits.
Erin: No preparation needed! Come as you are.
Jami: To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can take a deep breath and know that we won't jump all in at once. We'll take calculated baby steps with a lot of support to create a safe environment of challenge in small steps toward healing.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events.

The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
