Amy D. Gulino, Psy.D. is a licensed psychologist specializing in individual therapy with adolescents and adults. When working with adolescents she emphasizes the need to actively involve parents in the treatment process through the use of family therapy.

Throughout that process, she assists clients in developing a clearer understanding of their interactions with others. In exploring these areas, clients are then able to identify and modify previous patterns of behavior in order to achieve their full potential personally, academically, and/or vocationally.

Dr. Gulino previously worked at a substance abuse treatment facility where she served as the coordinator for an adolescent substance abuse program. Through that work she became very comfortable working with individuals struggling with the emotional impact of past substance abuse as well as the difficulties surrounding maintaining one's recovery.

One brave chick is a company committed to empowering women and the people in their lives who celebrate their courage and life-stories. How? Through a Web-based community and merchandise, for starters. But these are just vehicles because one brave chick is really in the business of inspiration.

Our company began as a simple conversation around a crowded kitchen table; we five friends decided to do more than just talk about the daily acts of courage we were witnessing in each other's lives. We decided to give a name to this courage, form a company founded on this courage, and call it "one brave chick".

We help physician practices improve profitability through higher collection rates, reduced days in accounts receivable, decreased rate of lost and denied claims, increased staff productivity, and implementation of an EMR. Many practices tell us that their operating costs are rising faster than their revenues. They also report that if they don't already have an EMR in place, they're seriously considering one. If that's the case with your practice, please contact me to discuss how Cubit could provide solutions.

Why choose Cubit? So you can take control of: 
... your Cash Flow… I don't need to tell you that coding changes are constant and many. Mistakes are costly… not just from lost revenue but also from Medicare/Medicaid CMS RAC audit penalties! Our expert billing staff codes for accuracy and to maximize profits.
... your Revenue… Increase gross billings and shorten accounts receivable cycle. Transition from direct operational oversight to outcomes-based monitoring and contract compliance.

One thing everyone seems to be short of these days is time. The time it takes to decide on a menu, look up the recipes, make a shopping list, drive to the store, walk round the aisles gathering ingredients and desperately trying to remember what was on the list that you carefully wrote down then left on the kitchen counter, wait in line to pay for it, drive home (and maybe back to the store to get what you forgot!), unpack the car, prepare the ingredients, cook the meal and wash up the pots and pans, can be counted in hours. A Personal Chef does it all for you and gives you back those hours. Hours when you could be playing nine holes, enjoying a game of tennis, watching your favorite team or, if you really must, working an extra few hours.

Wineries
Penns Woods Winery:
610-459-0808   Email   Website

Penns Woods Winery is the result of Gino Razzi's lifetime of experience in the world of wine. A respected importer and distributor of wine, Gino is an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo in southern Italy who settled in the Delaware County area in 1962, where he was fostered by the area's Italian-American community. Gino's pursuit of perfection turned to his own back yard. In 2002 he began to craft some wines from Pennsylvania – grown grapes. To his surprise, he found that some great wines can be made in Pennsylvania. After a thorough search for an ideal vineyard site, in 2004 he opted to purchase the Smithbridge Winery to take advantage of its 25 year old vines. Gino is convinced that Pennsylvania has the capability to produce world-class wines, and hopes to contribute to the legacy of hard work and artistry of his predecessors. As a symbol of these aspirations, one dollar from the sale of each bottle of Penns Woods wines is donated to the Pennsylvania State College of Agriculture for viticulture research. The Penns Woods Winery's story is just beginning. Taste, enjoy, and cellar our wines, and be a part of history in the making.
