A little weekend reminder 🤍

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to feel “better” yet. Sometimes the most healing thing is just knowing someone is there, that you’re not carrying everything alone.

This song is a reminder that connection matters, that support changes us, and that even small moments of being seen can make a big difference.

If this week was heavy, I hope this gives you a tiny bit of softness as you head into the weekend. You deserve that.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Eileen Kelly, LCSW

We are so excited to shine the spotlight on Eileen Kelly, LCSW, who has quickly become an essential part of our Northern Light Counseling team.

Eileen was hired as a full-time school-based therapist in the Wallenpaupack School District, and it didn’t take long for her leadership, clinical insight, and steady presence to stand out. Very quickly, we recognized her strong supervisory skills and ability to support others, and she is now helping me manage and support all of our school-based therapy teams.

Eileen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, bringing a collaborative, supportive, and thoughtful approach to her work. She has specialized training in DBT, TF-CBT, and Complicated Grief Counseling, and brings valuable experience from school, home, and community-based settings.

We are incredibly grateful to have Eileen on our team and appreciate the leadership, reliability, and heart she brings to Northern Light Counseling. We can’t wait to see all that is in store for you, Eileen!

✨ We are SO happy to welcome Kristin Martelli, LMT, CPMT to the Northern Light family! ✨

Kristin is one of those people who has felt like part of our space long before this became official. She hosted a pop-up with us in the past that was an absolute hit, and she’s someone who consistently shows up, supports our events, and pours genuine care into our community. She brings such a calm, grounded, heart-centered presence — and we couldn’t be more excited to now have her offering sessions here at NLC.

For now, Kristin will be with us one day a week due to some space limitations (fingers crossed 🤞 this changes soon, because we would love to have her here more often as we grow!).

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Kristin blends evidence-based therapeutic massage with intuitive, trauma-informed somatic bodywork. Every session is completely personalized and guided by what your body needs in that moment — no cookie-cutter sessions here. Her work may include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), neuromuscular therapy (NMT), Thai yoga massage techniques, energy therapy, and somatic bodywork.

We’re already dreaming up beautiful events, retreats, and community collaborations together — this is just the beginning, and it’s going to be so much fun. ✨

💫 Sessions are $150 for 60 minutes

This animation provides a clear overview of the working memory theory underlying EMDR.

It explains how engaging working memory during bilateral stimulation can reduce the vividness and emotional intensity of distressing memories. A helpful visual for understanding one of the key mechanisms behind EMDR’s effectiveness.

“The greatest tragedy is not that we are wounded, but that we become disconnected from ourselves.”
— Gabor Maté

Authenticity vs. attachment is something many of us are still untangling in adulthood.

This clip is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about coming home to who you were before you had to adapt.
