I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with years of experience guiding adults, teens, and families through life's toughest moments.

With a background as a school administrator, teacher, and school counselor, my practice is dedicated to caretakers, high achievers, and educators—anyone who looks completely put together on the outside but feels like they are drowning on the inside under the weight of perfectionism and burnout.

I specialize in helping clients navigate:

  • Chronic anxiety & depression
  • Perfectionism & burnout
  • Trauma & self-esteem challenges

Outside of the therapy room, I’ve been married for over a decade and am a proud dog mom!

Sarne Darby

Sarne Darby

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pittsburgh, PA


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 credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ursinus College, a Masters of Education in Counseling from Rutgers University, an Executive Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from California Pacific University, a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Juris Doctorate in Law all from Widener University.

I have 20+ years management experience in behavioral health, managed care, academia and private practice settings.

I have taught at more than 20 colleges and universities. I have advised, supervised, trained, and taught hundreds of graduate students and professional counselors.

Hi! I'm Amanda, LPC in Pennsylvania. I started my journey as a school counselor at a high school for 13 years and then transitioned into an outpatient facility. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate their lives. I love learning about and connecting with others. I help support individuals with adjusting to new situations, set boundaries, feel empowered, manage the demands of life, learn better coping and implement self-care. I was a DII College Athlete so I really enjoy getting to connect with other past or present athletes. I have over 19 years experience helping others with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bi-polar, relationship issues, or just feeling overwhelmed and stressed.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Pittsburgh

Finding ADHD therapists in Pittsburgh starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function, organization, time management, emotional regulation, or cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD. Medication management is a separate service that psychiatrists can provide. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. It can also help to search by age group, since adult ADHD support and pediatric ADHD support may involve different training, structure, and goals.

In a mid-sized city like Pittsburgh, you may find therapists near several neighborhoods, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Pennsylvania. As you compare ADHD therapy near you, look at availability, appointment format, and whether the therapist also has experience with concerns that can appear alongside ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, or stress. Provider bios can help you understand how each therapist works, including their therapy style, session structure, and experience with adult ADHD counseling, ADHD testing, or related support.

Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, review therapist profiles, and schedule directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
