Let’s begin your journey toward healing and growth—together.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, the impact of a medical diagnosis and parenting issues. I have worked with children and families in a medical setting for over 20 years. I have also worked closely with individuals and families who have been touched by cancer. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect. I believe you are the expert of your life. We are all unique and have our own strengths.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Addictions Counselor with over 14 years experience providing individual counseling for adults seeking therapy for a variety of difficulties.
I have immediate availability for new patients. If there is a time/day you need that is NOT listed on Headway, please contact me by text 484-546-4487 to schedule.
Seeking help can feel like a big step, especially if you've been managing on your own for a long time. I'm a board-certified psychiatrist offering telehealth medication management for adults across Virginia and Pennsylvania — with evening and weekend appointments, so care fits into your life instead of competing with it.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders including BPD, chronic suicidal ideation, and burnout. Many of my patients are high-functioning professionals who appear fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or not like themselves. I have a special focus on women's mental health, including PMDD, postpartum depression and anxiety, and mood changes through perimenopause.
My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and practical. I provide medication management within a broader therapeutic framework, drawing on CBT and supportive therapy — our sessions go beyond symptom checks. Care begins with a thorough evaluation, followed by treatment tailored to you, coping skills, and close follow-up. You'll always understand the why behind your treatment; medication is one tool, never the whole plan.
I also welcome patients who prefer care in Urdu, Punjabi, or Hindi. If you're ready, I'd be glad to help you take the next step.
Welcome to Thurber Counseling! My name is Liz and I have a background in mental health and school counseling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA
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.
