Welcome to the website for the psychological practice of Malec, Herring & Krause. We are located in Mars, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Most of our clients come from the North Hills of Pittsburgh or southern Butler County (communities such as Adams, Township, Cranberry Township and Treesdale) in Butler County.
We are a woman-owned psychological practice providing the community with psychological services for the individual, couple and family, in a comfortable, home-like atmosphere for more than 12 years. We believe that to assist individuals, couples and families in achieving the best life possible, the focus must be on the integration of the mind, body and spirit.
Without this integration, the stresses of everyday life create an imbalance which affects the person and his or her important relationships. Helping individuals maintain a healthy balance is the best defense against the pressures in this fast-paced world.
This philosophy is why we offer traditional psychotherapies complemented by special programs that encourage wellness and holistic, balanced living. Complementary services include stress reduction with yoga, massage therapy and a diet liberation program.
Please explore our site to learn more about our psychologists and how we can help you reduce stress, improve your relationships, and achieve wellness and balance in your life. Contact us if you would like more information about anything. The partners include Elaine A. Malec, PhD, Jaclyn Herring, PhD, and Elizabeth Krause, PhD. Each psychologist brings her own clinical experience and areas of expertise to the practice. Additional services are provided by adjunct professionals and include therapeutic massage, yoga, mindful meditation, hypnotherapy and group therapy.
