Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Greensburg, PA

Hello ! My name is Brittany Kowalski. I am an LCSW. I attended Bloomsburg University for completion of my undergraduate degree where I majored in Social Work with a minor in American Sign Language. I completed my master’s degrees at Temple University in Clinical Social Work. Since graduating I have worked with clients of all ages including families and couples to help them meet their goals as a team.

Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with extensive experience in addiction recovery and mental health counseling. I combine evidence-based practices with a compassionate approach to help clients achieve lasting personal growth.

One of my greatest assets is, I Recognize Un-Nurtured Pain. I have 17 years of experience as a clinical counselor. I deem myself an energetic, empathetic, resourceful, and compassionate counseling professional with proven ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I fully grasp the emotional and residual effects of how unresolved childhood issues, chemical substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD impact one’s daily life. Moreover, the low self-esteem, decreased self-worth, powerlessness, and hopelessness those issues incite.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who has been practicing in psychiatry & social work for over 15 years. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Scranton & my MSW from Temple University. I enjoy helping adults navigate life's transitions, anxiety, depression & addiction. As a therapist, I bring a wealth of experience in helping individuals identify their stressors & planning together. I've worked with diverse populations facing a range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and life transitions. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and strengths. I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, empowering you to develop coping mechanisms, build resilience, and achieve your personal goals. I am passionate about fostering healing and growth, and I am dedicated to helping you live a more fulfilling life.

I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.
