Outpatient
The outpatient therapy program is by far the largest operated by the RCC, with therapists in Oil City, Franklin, three school districts home and community, serving over 2,000 people in 2018.  
Many of the therapists are Licensed professionals who work closely with the agency psychiatrists.  While medications help, it is our belief that in most cases good clinical work with trained therapists is the key to recovery and emotional well-being.    


Between them our Mental Health therapists have expertise in a wide variety of techniques and methods to work with a full spectrum of diagnoses including but not limited to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder and Bi-Polar Disorder. 

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. — Confucius

Jaime Riddle MS, NBCC, LPC

Outpatient Counselor & IOP Director

Jaime is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and adults navigating trauma, stress, and the complexities of being human. As both an outpatient therapist and the Director of the Intensive Outpatient Program, she utilizes EMDR informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to support individuals in building insight, resilience, and emotional regulation.

Known for a style that is both direct and supportive, Jaime believes therapy works best when it's rooted in honesty and genuine human connection. People can expect a space free from performance—just real, grounded work in a setting where it’s okay not to have everything figured out.

Outside the therapy room, Jaime loves to read, garden, drink tea, and dive into Western European history. She finds peace in the company of her animals—cats, dogs, and chickens—and remains ever hopeful that one day, she’ll successfully tame a wild creature. When not working, she enjoys being a bit of a hermit—spending time at home with her family, hiking through quiet trails, and avoiding small talk whenever possible. She’s also entering what appears to be a middle-age birdwatching phase—and she’s (mostly) at peace with that.

Liz Guerin BS, CPRP

 MPR Program Director

“Liz is a therapist at Regional Counseling Center and currently serve as the Program Director for Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation. I began my journey in mental health in 2018 within mobile psych rehab, where I discovered a strong passion for helping individuals build independence and confidence. In 2025, I transitioned into outpatient therapy, where I continue to provide person-centered, compassionate care.

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work through PennWest, building on my Bachelor’s degree and CPRP (Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner) certification. I’m especially passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community. As a lesbian therapist who uses she/her pronouns, I strive to offer a safe, affirming space where all clients feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Outside of work, I enjoy simple moments that bring peace and connection—sitting on the porch, spending time with my daughter, being with friends, and listening to music. These everyday joys help keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of presence and balance in life.”

She also facilitates Guided Acute Care (GAC) group—structured, supportive environments that follow the DBT model to help individuals maintain stabilization and avoid rehospitalization post-discharge.


When not in session, Nicole can be found antiquing or breathing new life into forgotten treasures—because sometimes, with a little care and creativity, old things can find new purpose. Just like people.
