Most of us drive to work each day without giving a second thought about what route to take. We are often on auto-pilot in our lives too. We may repeat the same patterns over and over again, but wonder in exasperation how we end up in the same old fight with our spouse, in a mess at work, or with the same feelings of anxiety, depression, or anger. Sometimes we don’t realize our part in the pattern. Other times, we can see the pattern, but do not know how to change it.
Therapy is one avenue to take when ready to consider taking charge of your life, even if it is in a small way at first. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with almost 20 years of experience. I enjoy what I do and look forward to the clients that I meet with each day. I work with older adolescents and adults, in the context of individual, couples, and family therapy. I see clients who are struggling with various symptoms; together, we can get to the heart of the problem and begin the transition toward a healthier emotional life.
I care about my clients and provide to them honest feedback, empathy, guidance, and support. I partner with clients to help them transform how they cope with struggles and discover inner strengths, while enhancing their insight.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in counseling with adults and older adolescents. I have a special interest and expertise in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and have significant experience with Exposure and Response Prevention and Dialectal Behavior Therapy Skills Training. I have worked with individuals who struggle with a variety of behavioral health issues to include but not limited to OCD, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, as well as individuals who have difficulty managing emotions. I have worked with both the OCD IOP and Women’s IOP at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, as well as on the inpatient unit at WPIC. I am a member of the International Obsessive Compulsive Foundation.
I strongly believe that individuals who enter into therapy are doing the best that they can while simultaneously trying to improve day to day life and work toward their goals. Through therapy, I encourage acceptance of life as it is by being mindful of the present moment and increasing ones ability to tolerate painful situations, while also working on developing more effective ways of managing relationships and emotions. I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and from an authentic and genuine place. I look forward to meeting new clients and being part of their journey.
Roberta Weiner, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hollidaysburg Location
Therapy has always been a passion of mine; starting with my encouragement of friends speaking with me about their problems when I was a kid and then receiving the benefits from attending my own therapy. I’ve been in practice since 2000 with a Master’s degree.
I enjoy working with adults and couples on issues such as: depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, domestic violence, work issues, parenting, relationships, and alcohol/drug education. I am a licensed clinical social worker with an active approach; providing feedback and suggesting homework for my clients so that they may achieve their goals more quickly. Therapy should not last forever. The idea is to provide skills, so the client can tackle future problems that arise with greater confidence and success. I do not give clients my opinion as to how to proceed with a problem. Instead, I will provide education, support, and give the client different ways to view situations/thinking styles and behaviors. The rest is up to you!
