Welcome,

As your counselor, I want to empower you to discover what motivates you. I’m deeply committed to helping individuals live more fulfilling and satisfying lives. I believe each person holds unique strengths, talents, and abilities as well as personal resiliency—my goal is to help you uncover these qualities so you can build a life of purpose and meaning.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions—whether you're experiencing a career shift, marriage or divorce, relocation, educational changes, parenting challenges, or grief and loss.

Together, we’ll work to find clarity, confidence, and joy on your journey through this thing we call life!

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Specialist. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University. Over the past 17+ years, I’ve worked in a range of therapeutic settings, including family-based therapy, outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health and substance use programs, residential treatment, and private practice trauma therapy.

Outside the Office

I enjoy being active and being outdoors—walking, hiking, and and spending time with loved ones. I raise and train service dogs, attend dirt track races, meditate, and love cooking and baking. Family and friendship are at the heart of my life, and I find joy in making meaningful memories every step of the way.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.

I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.

Hi there, I'm Darcie! I'm a licensed professional counselor at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC specializing in trauma and PTSD management. I've provided care for over 11 years supporting, teens and adults through grief, substance use, Autism, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and stress management, and depression.

Through personal grief, I understand that loss is not something you just get over. It changes you. Healing begins with support, time, and space to actively grieve and nurture your wellbeing.

I understand how complicated life can become where one day we stop, look around, and think what happened, how did I get here. Together we can untangle those knots.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, extreme mood changes, or issues with focus? Are you plagued by addictions? Is this all affecting your work, physical health, and relationships?

Hi, my name is Marjorie and I'm a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. If you're ready to begin your journey to mental wellness, I can help you navigate the path to living your best life. I believe in the mind-body connection and use a holistic approach to care. While I primarily prescribe psychiatric medication, I will partner with you to identify and treat areas in your life such as nutrition, environment, and physical issues, that may be affecting your mental health. We will work together to formulate a plan that will best meet your needs.

You deserve a safe place to be heard and to heal. Imagine feeling a sense of mental peace and balance. Imagine having freedom from addiction. Let's get you on the path to healing today!

My greatest passion in life is helping others to live life to the fullest. For the last 11 years, it has been my privilege to do this in the counseling field. Whether it's helping people find freedom from eating disorders and addictions, the ravaging effects of trauma, or depression and anxiety, my goal is to help others step into the healthiest versions of themselves.
