Shannon Neal BS CPRP Executive Director 

Shannon Neal, BS, CPRP, Executive Director. I have worked at the Regional Counseling Center since 1998. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and I am a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner. My first job at RCC was in the adult Partial Program doing group, individual and family therapy. I did this for 9 years before changing positions and working in the Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program, where I am the Program Director. This is a community-based program that assists individuals with learning new skills and building supports so they can be successful in the environments of their choice, living, learning, working, and socialization. I helped develop the Hoarding Recovery and Maintenance Program (HRMP) where I worked as a Hoarding Specialist. In February 2019 I became the Assistant Director of the agency and most recently, January 1, 2023 became the Executive Director. I believe the Regional Counseling Center has been an asset to Venango County and neighboring communities. I have enjoyed my many years here and plan on enjoying many more.

Lindsay Carter Assistant Director LPC

I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, minoring in child development and family relations, sociology, with a concentration in sexual education and gender studies. I then went on to complete my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2020 and obtained my LPC in 2022. I joined the Intensive Transitions Team in May 2009 as the first Transitional Specialist. In September 2018 my position transitioned into mental health clinician as well as program director. We are a team-delivered intervention which is one of the best parts of my job. I really enjoy working with my teammates and finding support and growth within each of them. We are a passionate group of professionals that do intense work with transition-aged youth to help create lasting change in their lives. I have trained under the ESFT model since 2009, and was recently certified in DBT. I also sit on the Venango County Social Determinants of Health board.
