Individual Counseling
Facing mental health challenges can be overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with them on your own. At our practice, we offer individualized one-on-one therapy with skilled counselors and therapists who provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to share your concerns. Through personalized guidance and evidence-based techniques, we help you manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, impulse control, and other mental health issues.

Marriage & Family Counseling
Our relationships with loved ones can sometimes take a toll on our mental health, especially when conflicts arise. The dynamics between spouses, parents, children, and siblings can lead to misunderstandings, frustration, and anger, making it difficult to communicate effectively. When emotions run high, it can feel challenging to find common ground. At our practice, our therapists and counselors provide guidance on healthier ways to engage with those you care about. By learning new communication strategies, we help you rebuild and strengthen your relationships, fostering a more harmonious connection with the people closest to you.
Children’s Therapy
Children face mental health challenges as well, but their struggles often manifest differently than those of adults. Unlike adults, who can use abstract thinking to process and manage their emotions, children may not yet have the skills to do so. At Dr. John G. Kuna and Associates, we utilize play and art therapies to help children express themselves in a safe, supportive environment. These creative therapies not only allow children to communicate their feelings but also teach them healthy coping strategies and ways to manage their behavior more effectively.
If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or any other mental health challenges, in-person or online therapy with Dr. John G. Kuna and Associates can provide the support you need.
Our team of skilled therapists and psychologists tailors their approach to each individual, ensuring that your unique needs are met. Whether your struggles are big or small, we are here to help you navigate them with confidence and compassion.
Explore below to learn more about the various therapy options we offer in Wilkes-Barre:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns by focusing on the impact of your internal dialogue. In CBT, we help you understand how your thoughts shape your emotions and actions. By developing more rational and constructive thought patterns, you can gain better control over negative emotions and improve your ability to manage life’s challenges with greater ease.
Addiction Therapy
Addiction can deeply affect a person’s behavior, leading them to make choices they wouldn’t typically make. The situation becomes even more challenging when addiction starts to impact both mental and physical well-being. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the recovery process, helping you overcome addiction and work towards lasting healing and a healthier life.
Anger Management
Anger is a normal human emotion, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can lead to significant relationship challenges. Our therapists work with you to reframe how you understand and respond to anger, teaching you effective techniques for managing triggers and handling intense emotions in a healthier way.
How Many Therapy Sessions Will I Need?
The number of therapy sessions you’ll need can vary significantly based on your personal circumstances and goals. Some individuals are able to make progress and resolve their issues with short-term counseling, typically lasting between six to twelve months. However, for others, therapy may be a longer journey that extends over several years, particularly if the challenges are more complex.
The length of your therapy will ultimately depend on how quickly you’re able to address your symptoms, develop coping strategies, and gain the skills needed to manage triggers independently as they arise.
We tailor the process to your needs, ensuring that therapy continues for as long as necessary to help you achieve lasting results.
