It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Matthew J. Stefanelli. Matt was a double alumni of our CHS department, with a CHS degree in 2003 and a Master’s in RC in 2005. Matt was fiercely devoted to the counseling profession and helping others as a psychotherapist and mentor. He also was an admired adjunct professor with us for more than 18 years! Matt met his wife Marlee at the University of Scranton and they have 2 beautiful children, Isabella (16) and Matthew (14). Matt and Marlee built a thriving private practice and together have helped so many in our community. Matt’s kindness, humor, knowlege and insight are well known and will continue to impact so many as his connections in NEPA and beyond are vast. Our thoughts and love go out to all feeling this huge loss.
