Have you been feeling overwhelmed, conflicted, or simply worn down by everything life is asking of you? Maybe you’re dealing with relationship or family conflict, struggling to make sense of a major life change, or carrying emotional pain that you’ve been trying to manage on your own. I’m Susan Katz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. My own professional life has taken many different paths, including education, ministry, corporate leadership, and social work, which has given me a broad perspective on the many ways life can challenge us. I bring that perspective into therapy with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment.

I have a M.S. Mental Health Counseling graduate degree with a specialization in Substance Abuse Disorder, a M.A. Psychology graduate degree and an undergraduate B.A. Psychology degree.
I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, detox and rehab facilities, outpatient PCP and IOP mental health and individual private practice. I have worked with a range of different clients from many different backgrounds and ages (children, preteen, teen, adult and elderly).
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a decade of experience in the counseling field, my passion lies in supporting others to discover their own innate potential to grow and heal. My hope is that those working with me can feel free from mental health symptoms enough to be able to identify their core values, move through distressing experiences with psychological flexibility, and live a value-driven life. By meeting others in their own world, I am able to serve others that are struggling with anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, low self-esteem, and depressive disorders. I have a strong passion to help women who are pregnant and postpartum, as well.
I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania and nationally certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, support, and mutual respect. My approach centers on balancing acceptance and change—meeting you where you are without judgment while helping you challenge unhealthy patterns, build new skills, and grow. Together, we will work toward meaningful change and creating a life worth living.
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 have lived experience and professional specialization in maternal mental health, relationships, adult ADHD, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Other common stressors and themes that clients and I work through are life transitions, parenting challenges, job and career dissatisfaction, grief, loss, and overall sense of feeling not “good enough.”

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pittsburgh
Finding postpartum therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for care that fits your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people through pregnancy, pregnancy loss, fertility-related stress, or parenting transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list postpartum, perinatal mental health, or maternal mental health in their specialties. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Pittsburgh offers a strong network of mental health professionals, but the right fit may depend on more than location. If you prefer in-person care, you may want an office near your home, workplace, or a route you already take. If your schedule changes often, or infant care and physical recovery make travel harder, virtual therapy can expand your options. Before booking, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum concerns, communication style, and approach to care.
Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse postpartum therapists in Pittsburgh, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
