Hi there, I'm Darcie! I'm a licensed professional counselor at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC specializing in trauma and PTSD management. I've provided care for over 11 years supporting, teens and adults through grief, substance use, Autism, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and stress management, and depression.
Through personal grief, I understand that loss is not something you just get over. It changes you. Healing begins with support, time, and space to actively grieve and nurture your wellbeing.
I understand how complicated life can become where one day we stop, look around, and think what happened, how did I get here. Together we can untangle those knots.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA
Finding addiction therapists in Pittsburgh starts with naming the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, behavioral addictions, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with substance use, counseling and recovery guidance, individual drug counseling, or therapy for substance use disorder. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing or cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Pittsburgh has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, and the South Side, as well as nearby communities across Allegheny County. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, whether virtual care is available, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Recovery can include changes over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and experience with harm reduction frameworks. Read therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their style, specialty experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists, check available insurance coverage for your specific plan, explore virtual or in-person appointments, and find providers who are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, filter by preferences, and book directly when you’re ready.
