MaryAnn Sutton, LP — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm MaryAnn!

Have you been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or down? I can help you explore what’s contributing to these challenges and support you in making healthy changes. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and past trauma in a safe, supportive space.

My focus

I work best with clients who are open to exploring negative thinking and developing healthier strategies for managing stress. I also help clients gain insight into the origins of their unhelpful coping patterns, so they can move past these challenges and feel more empowered in their lives.

My approach

I will work collaboratively with you using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be contributing to depression or anxiety. Together, we will also develop skills to manage highly distressing situations in healthier, more effective ways.

My communication style

I have a warm and approachable style and prioritize building a positive therapeutic relationship from the start. I use open-ended questions to better understand your perspective and history. As our relationship grows, I will work collaboratively with you to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to becoming a therapist by my desire to help others and my personal experiences with people in my life who needed support. I love the work of therapy and enjoy continuously growing my skills while learning from the feedback of my clients over time.

My goals for you

I help clients achieve their treatment goals by linking the changes they want to make with their personal values, and by creating practical, step-by-step plans to support lasting change.

Our first session

The first session is directed at gathering more information about the nature of your mental health symptoms, your history, and establishing initial goals for how therapy can be most useful to you. This first meeting is a bit more structured than follow-up appointments, because there is a lot to cover.
