Seeking deeper connection, balance, or clarity in your relationships or personal life? I’m here to help you move through anxiety, relational stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. I specialize in working with women and couples navigating communication challenges, boundary setting, and emotional overwhelm.

Whether you’re managing the stress of daily life, rebuilding after a breakup, or hoping to reconnect as a couple, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your story and find meaningful, lasting change. My approach blends CBT, Gestalt therapy, and mind-body techniques to help you feel more empowered and in tune with yourself and others.

I offer both individual and couples counseling, and I welcome all stages of partnership—from premarital and parenting to separation support. I also include partnered sessions for individuals when helpful, to practice communication skills and relational healing.

Sessions are available online or in person in either Gettysburg or at my serene Aspers farm office in Adams County, PA.

Dr. Pamela Kennebrew

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

Amanda Mackanos

Amanda Mackanos

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Somerset, PA


I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.

I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.

Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Erie

Finding the right therapist in Erie, PA starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Erie County has providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to couples counseling and family therapy — so consider what matters most to you, whether that's a specific specialty, virtual or in-person sessions, or a provider located near your neighborhood in Millcreek, Harborcreek, or downtown Erie.

Therapy in Erie can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options are available when you use your in-network insurance benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

Once you've identified a few providers, reading their bios can help you understand their style and approach before committing. Many therapists on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can see if the fit feels right — with no charge unless you decide to continue care.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
