Paulina Levinzon is a mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples ages 11 and up. With experience working in private practice, group therapy programs, and in hospital settings Paulina had extensive experience in helping people to achieve their goals.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of Mindful Balance & Wellness. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care while incorporating an integrative approach that considers the connection between mental health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. I’m particularly interested in how factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal changes can impact mental health, and I continue to expand my training in integrative and functional psychiatry to better support my patients.
I take time to listen and understand your full story, not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a personalized plan that helps you feel better, function better, and regain a sense of balance in your life.
If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a tough life transition or feeling disconnected in your relationships, you have landed in the right place. I specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral challenges, individual adults, couples and families. I work from a collaborative and strength based approach. My goal is to help individuals reach their highest potential by nurturing their inner resilience.
I have been in the field for a little over 7 years. I enjoy helping others meet the goals they have for themselves. I have been licensed in the state of PA for 2 years, I am trained in trauma counseling and drug and alcohol counseling but I have worked with individuals who have day to day stress and those who have mental health disorders.
I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.
Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.
As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.
I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges
I am a National Board Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, as well as a certified School Counselor for grades K–12. I have over 25 years of experience working in a school setting, where I supported students from kindergarten through 12th grade and worked closely with thousands of families. That experience shaped my deep understanding of the academic, social, and emotional challenges children and teens face, and it’s also where my passion for helping young people truly grew.
As a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of experience, I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults across the developmental spectrum. I have experience working across a variety of settings including schools, private practice, and universities.

Hi I'm Kayli, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been working in direct practice mental health since the start of 2022 and obtained my clinical licensure in February of 2025. My experience has included working with individuals, couples and families from a variety of backgrounds. While I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, I have a special interest in supporting teens, young adults and woman as they navigate emotional, developmental or relational challenges. I have experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, stress, ADHD, and adjustment-related issues. I always strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Pittsburgh
Finding OCD therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for the right clinical training, not just a general specialty label. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD therapy, anxiety and OCD experience, or structured support for obsessions and compulsions.
Pittsburgh has a strong mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, but the best fit still depends on more than location. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit, while others use virtual appointments to access more therapists with OCD experience. It can help to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how clearly their profile describes their approach. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who names ERP training or focused OCD treatment experience, so reading bios closely can help you narrow your search.
OCD 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 out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for Pittsburgh therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review profiles, compare specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
