Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you're already taking a powerful first step toward growth and healing. As someone in long-term recovery, I understand the power of rebuilding from inside out. My recovery journey has taught me resilience, mindfulness, and the importance of holistic healing—tools I now share with my clients.” It has shaped the way I support others—with empathy, non-judgment, and a deep understanding of what it takes to rebuild a meaningful life.

Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.

Sessions with me feel like working with a teammate, not an expert handing down answers. We'll name what's getting in your way, build practical tools for between sessions, and lean on strengths you already have but may not see right now. Progress here looks like steadier days and more room to breathe.

A highly experienced psychotherapist, he remains compassionate to others and completely focused on patient health and well-being.

At the college level he graduated "summa cum laude" and at the doctoral level he graduated "with distinction".

He enjoys these pastimes: helping others, reading nearly all genres, cooking, children, and banana splits. He is an honorably discharged US Army veteran, married with an adult son, and soon expecting a first grandchild. He's pleased with positive relations with his four brothers and three sisters. You will be able to tell he likes and respects people in his life.

He considers it an honor to help you.

I’m a mental health therapist focused on supporting individuals through life transitions including college-aged clients, middle-aged women and other adults navigating change.

Hello, I’m Cathy Laus. I have been a therapist for 32 years and earned my education at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. My experience includes working at Western Psychiatric Hospital and with Turtle Creek Valley Community Services in a partial hospitalization program. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of diagnoses and concerns.

Life can be so hard. It shouldn't be, but it is. Our culture produces symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, etc. We weren't meant to live this way and to confront the constant stream of stressors we face on a daily basis. 40+ hour work weeks, struggling to make ends meet, supporting others while we struggle to support ourselves, unexpected life events, financial instability, always reaching and striving for the next benchmark, promotion, or grade. The list goes on and on and it often feels overwhelming and impossible. I believe that those systems are the problem, not you, and I want to help you navigate it better.
