Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Pittsburgh, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked with a diversity of clients. I am here to listen, validate, challenge, support and work with you on your therapeutic goals.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. Using CBT and EMDR, I help clients gently connect the mind and body, make sense of patterns, and work through experiences that feel overwhelming. Therapy is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, building trust, insight, and tools to support healing and meaningful change.

It’s exhausting to live a life that feels more like a performance than an experience. You may feel heavy with the weight of "doing"—meeting expectations while losing the quiet essence of "being." Whether navigating the hollow ache of loss, the fog of depression, or the echoes of trauma, I know how it feels to be a stranger to yourself. Therapy begins when you decide you can no longer just "push through." We move forward by creating space for your pain to be heard. It's a journey of reclamation: stripping away the noise to rediscover the resilient, authentic soul that has been waiting for you all along.

Hello! I’m Lucas, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly a decade of experience helping individuals navigate and overcome life’s challenges. My practice is built on a foundation of person-centered principles and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ensuring that your care is both evidence-based and deeply compassionate.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.

I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.

Welcome! I am a open-minded, caring, and energetic therapist with a background in treating a variety of mental health concerns. I have had my private practice for about 10 years. Prior to private practice, I was working in the substance abuse field and treated occurring disorders for 10 years. I love working with clients to identify and understand their strengths and how to use them to build a quality life with continued growth.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families for more than 25 years, and I still genuinely love what I do. When someone trusts me enough to share their story, I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive therapy session where we can work together to address the “stuff” of your life, including anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, grief, or a difficult life transition.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 16 years of experience supporting both children and adults in school and clinical settings. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I am a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) practitioner.

I'm a bilingual Latina therapist — I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I bring lived understanding of what it means to navigate mental health across cultures. I work with adults who are carrying real things: trauma, grief, anxiety, PTSD, and the particular weight that comes from being in between worlds. I specialize in EMDR, a highly effective approach for trauma that works even when talking alone doesn't feel like enough. I'm also an affirming provider for LGBTQ+ and transgender clients. I trained at Temple University and hold my LCSW in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a conversation — not a performance.

Are you taking care of others but don't seem to find the time to take care of yourself? Do you seem strong to everyone else but feel disconnected from the person you used to be? Are you struggling to just survive and breathe? Do you need support managing the role of caregiver, sandwich generation challenges, personal health issues, loss, grief, bereavement, or isolation? Do you face a life transition or transition to retirement? Our time together will focus on finding your strength, building resilience, re-connecting to your own creative spark again. Let's work together to lift your spirits and find some peace.

Hello! I am a nurse practitioner (NP) who is experienced in both Psychiatry and Primary Care. Before graduating with my MSN and Adult Primary Care NP program in 2015, I was a RN for 9 years in the hospital setting. While working in Psychiatry starting in 2022, I decided to pursue my Post-Master’s certification in Psychiatric Mental Health NP and graduated in April of 2024.
