Meet MaryAnn Faraci.

"The most important thing a volunteer can do is show up. The second most important thing is to keep showing up." &mdash; Anonymous

Nonprofits don't do rollcall. But if they did, MaryAnn Faraci's answer would always be the same.
&ldquo;Present!&rdquo;
Before retirement, while working full-time at Vanguard and raising her kids, MaryAnn was showing up &mdash; volunteering at PACs, bringing her children, teaching them by example.
Then retirement gave her time. And MaryAnn showed up more.
You'll find her in Ann's Heart's kitchen cutting vegetables or washing ginormous metal bowls, or under Ann's Heart tents handing out fliers, doing whatever needs to be done.
At the Upper Main Line Rotary Club she shows up as the committee chair of Public Relations (admittedly outside her comfort zone) and volunteers at their annual golf tournament fundraiser which netted $150,000 for the community this year.
MaryAnn Faraci?
Present.
As our Unsung Hero for July, MaryAnn will receive a complimentary massage from PressurePerfect Massage &mdash; a small token of appreciation for her tireless work and dedication to making Phoenixville and Berwyn stronger, more vibrant communities.

Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, Depression

Solace Counseling LLC

Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, and Life’s Challenges A supportive space to heal, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. Solace Counseling offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and life’s challenges. I am a licensed clinician and EMDR-certified therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience, providing both in-person and virtual sessions to clients across Pennsylvania. My office is located in Paoli, PA. My work is grounded in whole-body, trauma-informed care that honors the connection between mind, body, and emotional experience. I integrate EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to support meaningful, lasting change—not just symptom relief. Emotional safety, support, and non-judgment are central to my practice, and I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and at ease. I view therapy as a collaborative process. While I bring clinical training and structure, I believe clients hold deep insight into what they need and value. Together, we work to explore patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and move toward greater clarity, resilience, and growth—always at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, healing from past experiences, or support through a difficult transition, therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence.
