Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Canonsburg, PA

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I have supported children, teens, and adults through a wide range of challenges, including depression, trauma and PTSD, family issues, anger and stress management and chronic conditions including various health disabilities. My approach is compassionate, honest, and personalized. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and help you identify practical steps toward healing and meaningful change. As a spiritual and active person with diverse life experiences, I bring empathy, perspective, and genuine support to every session.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 35 years in social services, the last 9 as a licensed clinician. My background spans direct practice, public health, domestic violence services, and end-of-life care. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health. My clinical work draws from Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. I also do end-of-life doula work.

My practice, Empowered Transitions Therapy, is built around the belief that transitions don't just require coping strategies. They require honest reflection, real support, and sometimes a complete rethinking of what you want your life to look like going forward.

I work with adults and couples navigating grief and loss, caregiver burnout, life transitions, domestic violence recovery, and relational conflict. I specialize in complicated grief and work with clients whose losses have been layered, unacknowledged, or unresolved for years. Much of my work centers on women who are in the middle of reinventing themselves and aren't sure yet what that looks like.

I'm direct without being cold. I ask hard questions and I sit with you in the answers. If you've been managing everything on your own and you're tired of it, this might be the right place.

Welcome! I'm here to offer you a safe space to work through past or current trauma, anxiety, or depression.

I have over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and consider myself a lifelong learner. As a therapist who has been in therapy, I have seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.

I received my bachelor’s of arts degree in psychology from West Chester University and my Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania, but residing in Florida since 2023. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals suffering from mental health and substance use disorders. I also specialize in trauma and offer a very warm, caring approach. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, know that you don't have to carry this alone. I offer a warm, nurturing space where your journey—mind, body, and spirit—is held with compassion. Instead of just focusing on the past, we’ll work together to find your inner resources and create small, tangible steps toward a life that feels lighter and more aligned with your values.

Welcome? Glad we found each other. A bit about me for you: I received my B.S in Psychology from Penn State University in 1989 and my M.A. in Counseling from Arcadia University in 2001 and my LPC in 2006. Over the course of my professional career, I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and IOP settings with adults and adolescents. Currently, I run my private practice while working as a Program Director and faculty for an M.A. in Counseling Psychology program.

Outside of my formal education, I’ve explored – and continue to explore - sexuality, gender, trauma, psychedelic integration, dreamwork, shamanism, spirituality & psycho-spiritual work, meditation, mindfulness, and more recently, ecopsychology and ecotherapy, somatic and polyvagal work. I am also a certified (Holotropic/Transpersonal) Breathworker.

Presently, I work with adult individuals experiencing issues related to trauma, sexuality, depression, anxiety, men’s issues, life transitions, and grief, and who want to thrive instead of just surviving.

I look forward to hearing from you so we can assess our compatibility to work together toward your goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults. I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason.

I’m Aiden, a Licensed Clinical Social worker that is specialize in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA affirming therapy. My clients would say that I am a warm and down-to-earth therapist that affirms and gives space for you to be yourself.

My name is Lynn Johnson, LCSW and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree and extensive experience supporting individuals navigating mental health, addiction recovery and life’s most challenging transitions. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations in both community and clinical settings, helping clients address concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, substance use and recovery, relationship difficulties, life stressors and emotional wellness. My background in addiction recovery and mental health treatment has provided me with a deep understanding of the complex factors that influence healing, resilience and long-term personal growth. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, supportive and empowering experience. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based practices that help clients identify strengths, overcome barriers and develop practical tools for Jason’s change. Whether you are facing a difficult life transitions, working through emotional pain, rebuilding after addiction, or seeking greater balance and fulfillment, I am committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can occur.

I like to tell new and potential clients that I'm a human just like you, the only difference is my education in counseling. I approach all sessions with a genuine curiosity, rational thought process, and the ability to view a situation through multiple lenses. I can tell you all about the alphabet soup (credentials) behind my name, but what I know to be most important is the relationship you build with your therapist, I hope to be that person for you.

I've been told I’m easy to sit with and talk to. I believe that while therapy can be hard work, it can also be a time of funny reflection. Having a positive therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us, and it is my desire that we can sit together and laugh, experience tears, and talk openly about your greatest concerns and pains.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, please feel free to request a complementary 15 minute consultation where we can talk and see if we might be a good fit for each other. I have experience working with adults experiencing grief and loss, addictions, ADHD, and trauma. Even if you’re not sure therapy is right for you, maybe a free consultation.
