Welcome to Advanced Counseling Associates

He really gets where I'm coming from and knows exactly what to say to help put my mind at ease.

Dan Costello has been counseling me for a few months now, and it has been great. For my whole life I have been dealing with anxiety and depression, and Mr. Costello has been so helpful. He really gets where I'm coming from and knows exactly what to say to help put my mind at ease. I am so glad I found Advanced Counseling Associates.

Rebecca Tymeck has saved my life.

Rebecca (Becca) Tymeck has saved my life. She is new to this practice and when she was transferring I wasn’t willing to not stay with her. She is sweet and reliable. I’ve been seeing Becca for awhile now and I look forward to speaking with her every week. She helps me with all my issues and is there to listen to me when I just need to talk. I don’t know where i would be without her! She’s the best, I highly recommend her!! A&B C.

Laura Asner was kind and caring

I came to Advanced Counseling with some issues I wasn't able to figure on my own and Laura Asner was kind and caring in re-directing my thoughts and has been a tremendous help with troubling times. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Advanced Counseling Associates. The staff there are caring Professionals. You will feel better after your visits. They have helped me through very challenging times.

Debra, is like an island in the middle of a stormy sea.

I cannot say enough good things about Advanced Counseling. I found them at a point in my life when I was dealing with an almost impossible situation with regard to custody and care of one of my adult special needs kids. My therapist, Debra, is like an island in the middle of a stormy sea. She has given me the tools that I needed to deal with my narcissistic EX. If you are even remotely contemplating the concept of therapy my advice to you would be "do it!". It is amazing how much better you will feel once you have given over the problems that you are dealing with to a therapist who can guide you in the right direction and help you to access the tools that you already possess to deal with the issues that you feel powerless to deal with. Therapy equals empowerment!

I highly recommend Advanced Counseling Associates

My son was a patient of Advanced counseling for over two years. He went in once a week. It was very difficult to find someone to work with my son. He had severe trust issues and high anxiety. That all changed once we found advanced. The office is warm and welcoming and the staff at the desk is so friendly. The counselors were so patient with my son. After three weeks of visits he felt comfortable going, almost excited. They created a safe space he could express himself. He didn't even want me going in with him anymore. That right there showed me they gained his trust. Over the course of his visits his anxiety decreased, his self confidence was being restored. Now two years later he still seeks this safe space but only when he feels it's needed. I am so glad we found advanced. It's been a game changer.

 

Meeting with Lisa Kahn at Advanced Counseling Associates has been wonderful.

I've been experiencing anxiety that was taking over my life. Lisa has created a safe space where I feeling comfortable talking through my feelings. She is a wonderful listener and extremely supportive. I've found great value in her feedback and techniques to shift the mindset. Lisa has helped me be more confident and hopeful overall. I highly recommend Advanced Counseling Associates to anyone looking for guidance and compassion.

I can confidently recommend Elaine Terrana

My boyfriend and I were looking for a couples therapist for months, and our prayers were answered with Elaine (Lanie) Terrana. We wanted someone who would be unbiased, professional, and on our team through our venture in communicating better. Elaine encompasses all of those aspects and more. She is easy to speak to, compassionate, and most importantly on both of our sides. We both feel very comfortable talking to her and have found great value in her feedback. She created a safe space from our first meeting and continues to maintain it through each week. We look forward to continuing our journey with her. I can confidently recommend Elaine Terrana (and Advanced Counseling Associates) to those looking for guidance, compassion, and support.

Out of 5 stars, I give Ryan a 10

I am reaching out because I want to inform you that Ryan Duck is an amazing therapist. I am a Social Worker, I speak to people and their families all day. I have had 2 previous therapist and they never provided me with the mental distressing. Ryan is amazing, he engages, he makes me feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to our therapy session every Tuesday. I pray that there were more people/therapist like Ryan who could actually help people. Out of 5 stars I give him a 10, he Rocks. I'm not an easy case but I always feel great after our sessions.

Laura was very comforting for me

Laura was very comforting for me. I found her very interested in my problems, concerned for my well being and she gave me great advise. I look forward to my next visit with her.

Dan Costello has been an integral part of my healing process and a great friend and teacher along the way.

In a time of unprecedented confusion coupled with the ravaging effects of mental and physical pain, my therapist, Dan Costello has been an integral part of my healing process and a great friend and teacher along the way. I look forward to our weekly sessions that build personal strength to elevate myself higher above the battlefield of our daily strife.

Rebecca Tymeck changed everything for me

I was in a dark place feeling like there was nowhere to turn for help. I never was willing to try therapy, as I viewed it as a sign of weakness, but at this point in my life, I knew I needed help. That’s when I met Rebecca Tymeck, and everything changed for me. She started treating me and I saw that I could emerge from this “dark place” to make the necessary changes in my life to make me a better husband, father, and person. Becca is insightful, caring, and has an extremely positive attitude…all strong qualities you would want in a good therapist! Beyond that, she really takes the time to know and understand her clients on a personal level, and has always been there to support me and help me navigate through these difficult times. In just a few short months, I feel that my mental health has improved exponentially, and although she always gives me the credit for this change saying “you are the one putting the work in and making these changes”, I know simply could not have done it without her by my side. I am forever grateful for everything she has done for me. I highly recommend both Rebecca Tymeck and Advance Counseling to anyone looking to engage in therapy. They are true professionals who can really help you get back on track! MD

He's compassionate, wise, and I feel like I'm in a safe space with him

Ms. McDonough represents the gold standard of excellence

I have had the honor and pleasure of having Jennifer McDonough as my therapist @ Advanced Counseling Associates for a number of months. Although I am a relatively new client, I can say with confidence that Ms. McDonough is awesome. She is impartial, knowledgeable, professional, and most of all truly nonjudgmental. She is a tremendous listener and always provides detailed feedback on my vast array of stressors. In my opinion, there is no middle ground with respect to therapy. Either you're good or you're bad. Ms. McDonough represents the gold standard of excellence. KV
