Joanne Scarrone, LPC

Joanne Scarrone has long been curious about what makes people tick and why individuals can be so different yet share familiar struggles. She finds meaning in working with a wide range of concerns because each person and their life story offers a unique perspective. Joanne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania, and she approaches her work with a deep respect for each person’s current resources and strengths.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Seton Hill University and a master’s degree from Duquesne University. After completing her graduate studies, she spent eleven years training and working alongside a psychologist, a period that expanded her understanding of the connections between brain physiology and emotional experience. Her practice incorporates modalities that address depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, stress, isolation, and feelings related to abandonment.

Joanne believes people generally do the best they can with the tools available to them in any given moment, and she works collaboratively to build on those strengths. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys gardening and painting, with a particular interest in portraiture where she aims to capture more than a likeness and instead reflect a person’s essence.
