Carla Mitchell

PTA
Physical Therapy Assistant

Carla is a licensed physical therapist assistant who loves working with patients from all different backgrounds but is especially fond of working with the geriatric population. She received her degree from Lackawanna College in 2022. Becoming a PTA has been very fulfilling to her as Carla is able to combine her love of movement and fitness with her passion for helping others. In 2017, Carla completed the 2,190 mile trek on the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in a 6 month journey that she considers to be life-changing. Carla pursued a certification as a Wilderness First Responder through the National Outdoor Leadership school in 2018 to further her knowledge and skills in the backcountry. Carla likes to stay active outside doing activities such as hiking, trail running, cycling, and will dabble in just about any form of exercise. On weekends, you can most likely find her at Lackawanna State Park with her beloved German Shorthair Pointer puppy, Sawyer and her fiance, Zack.
