Our Team

Amanda Merola, LCSW

I specialize in adults struggling with everyday stressors that may result in anxiety or even depression. I have experience in women's health such as infertility and maternity. No matter the topic, I understand clients want to have a safe space to work through their conflict. I am here as a resource and guide to ease symptoms they may be experiencing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years experience in the field. I have a bachelors and masters in Social Work. I help clients explore their emotions, life events and goals in a supportive and collaborative environment. I strive to empower my clients to take an active role in their treatment. I use a CBT focused approach.

My main priority with clients is to create a safe space that is free from judgment or criticism. I pride myself in ensuring clients have something tangible to take away from a session whether it be a coping mechanism to practice or some thoughts to reflect upon. I want to make sure that working on yourself does not stop after the session is over.

Catherine Polinski, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience addressing a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I utilize therapeutic techniques that are well-researched and found to be empirically valid and effective. 

I believe that therapy can be a useful tool to help develop more self-awareness, reduce stress and find life more meaningful. Our work together may include processing life experiences, identify current emotional responses, and engaging in skill building work to improve coping. Together, we can work through the current challenges you may be facing and identify positive paths toward change and healing. 

Kaitlyn DeBona, LSW

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges and feel more connected, confident, and understood. I earned my Master of Social Work from California University of PA in 2012, and I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings since.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I support clients dealing with things like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship issues. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, DBT,  mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and other evidenced-based techniques to meet each person where they are and find what works best for them.

In sessions, I aim to create a warm, safe space where you can be yourself—no judgment, just support. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to help you build insight, feel empowered, and take meaningful steps toward positive change.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking new recipes, being outdoors, and restoring furniture.
