Cynthia Galliher, LCSW
Education: B.A., Sociology/Psychology, Clarion University of Pennsylvania; Master’s in Social Work, Marywood University
Experience: For over 14 years I have worked in outpatient therapy settings for both mental health and addictions. My clinical experience and training has been focused on trauma, mood disorders, life transitions and addictions. I also have a special interest in working with people who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction. I work primarily with adults but I have also worked with children under the age of 12 for the last 9 years. I have experience working with first responders (i.e. police officers, EMTs) and impaired professionals.
I am a compassionate and empathetic therapist, but I also challenge my clients to embrace the idea that change is possible. My clients discover that, with some hard work, honesty, and determination, they have always had the ability to change their lives. They just didn’t know it! My role as your therapist will be encouraging you to determine what is keeping you from living the life you want and deserve. My approach will be to challenge you when you want to give up, celebrate your victories, and most importantly, provide you with the tools to maintain the change you worked so hard to achieve.
Mary Diskerud, LCSW
Education: B.S. in psychology from Towson State University; Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from University of Maryland at Baltimore
I have years of experience working with many of the challenges life brings to us. I believe it is important to explore the parts of our life and the present challenges that have led to depression, anxiety and the many repetitive unhealthy and often exhausting patterns of behavior that impact our personal growth. I have an eclectic approach with an emphasis utilizing various therapeutic approaches based on the needs of the individual. The client's comfort and needs are most important in my work with others. I hope to serve as a healing guide to an individual's own journey to peace and health. I also help individuals work at their own pace to achieve the goals they have set for themselves as they discover their strengths and develop practical strategies for managing life's challenges.
