Meet Our Interns at A Brighter Tomorrow Wellness Center

Sara Palatnik, MT-BC

My name is Sara Palatnik and I am currently in a Master’s program for Counseling Psychology at Elizabethtown College. I am a board certified music therapist and have spent the past 5 years providing music therapy services in a wide range of settings including a pediatric hospital, long term care facilities, private practice, and in-home therapy. I have experience in providing music therapy services to individuals of all ages with intellectual disabilities. My mission has always been to create a safe environment to foster self-expression, creativity, and to improve an individual's quality of life by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship. I look forward to gaining more clinical experience at A Brighter Tomorrow Wellness Center while incorporating the therapeutic knowledge I have gained so far as a music therapist.

Yanique Mayne, MSSW

My name is Yanique Mayne. I am currently in a Master of Social Work program. I have background in Case Management working with various populations such as Substance abuse, Mental Health, Individuals with developmental disabilities, individuals suffering from Homelessness etc. I helped these clients by providing minor counseling and connecting them to resources that will help them become whole and be able to live a productive life. My passion lies in helping people overcome daily struggles that may impede their life or their mental wellbeing. I want clients to feel like they can talk about any and everything without feeling like they are being judged. My hope after each session is that though problems may not be gone you have a refreshing feeling that can take you throughout the week. I look forward to applying knowledge from my Social Work education, using skills that I have gained from previous jobs and using skills that I will learn at A Brighter Tomorrow Wellness Center to help make a difference in clients' lives.
