Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Canonsburg, PA

I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, or just unsure of what you’re supposed to be doing with your life, you don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I frequently work with teens and young adults ages 14–23, and I understand that these years can come with a lot of pressure—school, work, friendships, family, relationships, figuring out who you are, and trying to understand where you fit in the world. I’ve worked with people in a variety of mental health settings and have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, mood concerns, substance use, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. More than anything, I want you to feel like you can be yourself with me. I’m a huge fan of movies, comics, and pop culture, and I enjoy finding those shared interests and experiences that can make it easier to connect and talk about what’s really going on. I love exploring how the stories that shape us reflect the times we live in, and I often draw on those shared cultural moments to connect with you in meaningful ways.

Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.

As a professional, mother, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting emotional wellness.

I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I have completed the Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) training through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This advanced training has expanded my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, gut health, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that can complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated into care and are intended to support—not replace—evidence-based psychiatric treatment, including medication management, psychotherapy, and collaborative care.

Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who takes a whole-person approach to mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.

My name is Leilani and I’m a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe feeling heard is just as important as any treatment plan.
