Recovery is a journey, and you don't have to walk it alone

Addiction rarely announces itself. For most people it builds gradually, tangled up with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships, or pain, until the substance or behavior that once helped you cope starts costing more than it gives. Reaching out for help isn’t an admission of failure. It’s one of the strongest things a person can do.

Addiction counseling at Mana Life Counseling is led by Heather Dick, LCSW, who is a Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and holds Pennsylvania certification as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). These are advanced credentials that require extensive specialized training and supervised clinical experience in substance use treatment. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Heather has supported adults and families at every stage of recovery.

Who we help

Our recovery counseling supports a wide range of situations:

  • Alcohol and substance use you'd like to understand or change
  • Early recovery and relapse-prevention support after rehab or IOP
  • Long-term recovery maintenance and sober living skills
  • Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma alongside substance use
  • Family members and partners affected by a loved one's addiction
  • Court, employer, or license-related counseling needs, including DOT/SAP evaluations

Our approach to addiction treatment

We begin with a comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation, looking honestly at the biological, psychological, and social factors feeding the cycle. From there, your counselor builds an individualized plan that may draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based relapse prevention, motivational approaches, and psychodynamic work on the deeper roots.

Because addiction so often travels with anxiety, depression, and trauma, our clinicians treat the whole person, not just the substance. And because recovery touches the people around you, we also offer family and couples work when it helps.

Sessions are available in person at our State College office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, or North Carolina. Everything you share is confidential.

Need help right now? The SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

We believe knowing the cost up front is part of feeling at ease. Rates are the same whether you meet in person at our State College office or by secure telehealth. These are self-pay rates: we participate with most commercial insurance companies, so many clients pay only their insurance portion for sessions.

Questions about coverage or what’s right for you? Call 814-933-4622 and we’ll walk you through it. Or see the insurance plans we accept.
