Jen Adams LPC
CEO/Director
(814) 807-0861

I am a licensed counselor with over 20 years of experience providing mental health services to youth, adults, and families across home-, school-, and office-based settings in Crawford County.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Allegheny College and my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations in a wide range of clinical roles within the mental health field.

Before joining Parkside, I provided eco-systemic structural family therapy, case management, and crisis intervention services to children and their families. I also supported students through individual and group interventions as part of a school-based behavioral health program. Early in my career, I discovered that my passion lies in working with the systems surrounding youth—an approach that continues to guide both my clinical work and my leadership.

I joined Parkside in 2016 as an outpatient therapist specializing in traumafocused treatment for children, adolescents, and adults in both office and school settings. In 2021, I stepped into clinical leadership, first serving as Director of School Programs and later as Assistant Director, where I provided clinical oversight and supervision to clinicians and school based interventionists while continuing my specialized trauma therapy work. In 2025, I became CEO/Director of Parkside Psychological Associates, where I now blend my dedication to trauma informed care with strategic, compassionate organizational leadership to support our practice’s mission and growth.

I am a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) therapist with advanced training in TFCBT for complex trauma, Seeking Safety, Real Life Heroes, Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), and EMDR, for which I completed EMDR Basic Training through an EMDRIA approved trainer. I have also completed specialized training in clinical supervision and trauma informed supervision.

Michele A. Tome LPC
Assistant Director/Director of School Programs
(814) 807-0861

I am a licensed, nationally certified counselor with over 25 years of professional experience working with children, adults, and families in home, community/school, residential, and office-based settings in Erie and Crawford counties.

I began my education as an Art Therapy graduate of Mercyhurst University, and I continued my training at Penn West-Edinboro University where I focused on family therapy and attachment in their Community Counseling master’s degree program.

I have my certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with advanced TF-CBT training for complex trauma. I am also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), and Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) trauma treatment as well as training in trauma informed supervision and the Multiple Perspective Model for ethical decision-making.

As a lifetime learner for healing centered therapies, I started my career as a Therapeutic Support Staff helping children and families navigate challenging behaviors, and from that work I shifted my focus to family therapy with a specialization in attachment and trauma. After obtaining my master’s degree, I continued to work with children and families as a therapist in home and community/school settings with a specific focus of children experiencing delinquent and/or problem sexual behaviors.

I received my initial clinical experiences in complex trauma and ecosystemic family therapy from Nora Kreider and Audrey Smith through Parkside while in the Specialized Family Based Mental Health program in 2010, and I brought that expertise into my future professional roles working in residential, home, and community/school settings while utilizing art, play, and physical movement techniques alongside specialized trauma therapy models. I was excited to join the Parkside team as a trauma therapist in our Erie office in 2020 and in 2024 I began the transition to my current role of Assistant Director and the Director of School Programs for Parkside with a part-time caseload to maintain my clinical expertise in specialized trauma therapy.
