Northeast Counseling Services – Wilkes Barre (100 Wilkes Barre Boulevard)

Working with George has been a meaningful experience in my life. From our first meeting to the most recent, I have always felt heard and understood. He has created a safe space that you can tell he pours into. I have… been able to grow through my grief and life changes while working with George. What I appreciate most is how personal the experience feels, he truly remembers who I am as an individual and reminds me frequently of the growth I have been making.

Seeing George for a little under a year has been a life changing experience. I was very reserved on going to therapy at first but I couldn’t be happier that I did. I have learned how to enjoy life for what it is and… take life as it comes. He has given me a better quality of life and I couldn’t be more thankful. Highly recommend!!

When I came to see George back in August I entered his office a broken human being. I had been to see 5 different therapist before meeting George. I was a mess I had been working to heal from my past , its riddle with… childhood trauma and failed relationships with family and partners. I was desperate to get the help I needed and turn my life around. Can’t say enough about the support George has given me, through his work I was able to process my experiences reframe my thoughts and emotions. I am grateful for his work and am learning to thrive one day at a time. Highly recommend George as a resource if you’re dealing with difficult times.

I have been working with George for some time now. He has been such an asset to me. I look forward to our meetings, ALWAYS. I fully respect his professionalism and points of view. I always find something he has said… from our sessions that really hits home and relates to what we've discussed, and use them in my everyday life. He truly is a GREAT listener and provides the upmost advise for me. I know that if i didn't have him to HEAR me, I wouldn't be feeling like I'm taking strides to be the person I want to be. Thank you, George!

It can be challenging to find the right fit when choosing a therapist but I was immediately comfortable and at ease with George. He has provided me with a safe space to be authentic which is invaluable! He provides… active listening and feedback, asks clarifying questions, is skilled at providing non judgmental feedback that challenges me and has helped me identify and work on numerous goals while in session. I feel he is always engaged and remembers details from previous sessions which has not always been the case with past therapists. He encourages me to put the work in and it’s been so productive and healing for me (and my family). So grateful!

I was struggling with my mental health and my confidence for quite some time. For the first time in my therapy journey, I felt heard. That my problems were not only being heard, but I was also given feedback and… solutions to these problems that I was having. To anyone who may be questioning if therapy is for you or not - rest assured, that if you choose this place for a peace of mind - you will get that and then some. Thanks for giving me the tools necessary to navigate this thing we call life.

George has been extremely helpful in working with me. His ability to provide useful insight, empathy, and compassion has allowed me to grow and view different perspectives. I am also grateful for his patience and… kindness towards me.

George truly cares about his clients. He's always providing excellent care and provides great feedback to get you through the challenges in life. His level of empathy and professionalism always makes you feel… comfortable throughout your session!

I have been with Merc Counseling since the very beginning. I HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone that might need counseling. I went through multiple counseling programs and this is by far the most comfortable and… effective therapy I have ever experienced. If you feel like you’re not fully connecting with your current therapist like I have felt in the past, this is the one for you. The realest in the game!

This service is amazing. George always listens, has great feedback, and never fails to make you laugh. I have been seeing him for over 2 years and would recommend him to anyone looking to feel better about yourself or… your situations. Help is here!!!

The difference with George is that he's been there. His life experiences coupled with his advanced education make him understanding of his patients' struggles and capable of addressing them through experience, academia,… and empathy. It's a unique combination that makes him endearing as a counselor and able to offer assistance through multiple avenues. Since beginning my sessions, therapy has become not only something beneficial to navigating life's ups and downs, but something I look forward to and have benefited from immensely.

I have been seeing George for years. Very helpful and insightful. Has helped me immensely.
