Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pittsburgh, PA

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 bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

Hi there! I'm April, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. I commend the step you are taking to find a therapist who will come alongside you and hopefully be a great fit for your journey.

I have worked with clients spanning from pre-adolescents to elderly adults. Most of my work has focused on adolescents and young adults. I hope you find a therapist with whom you'll make great progress, and I look forward to meeting you if you want to schedule a session with me.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for achieving happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can often be challenging, so I want to compliment you for taking it! I have been practicing for over five years and have a proven track record of treating complex and severe mental disorders over the last decade. My experience includes working with patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction.

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 believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges.

My professional background includes working with individuals who've experienced domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma,and emotional dysregulation. I tailor treatment to each person's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that every client's journey is different.

I earned my degree in Social Work from Temple University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am committed to ongoing professional development and providing care that is culturally responsive, affirming, and client-centered.

Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season, working through past experiences, or looking to build healthier coping strategies, I strive to help you identify your strengths, develop practical tools, and move toward the life you want to create.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you along the way.

I have over twenty years of experience working as a counselor. I believe in taking the time to invest in helping people see their own solutions to their problems. I prefer to walk with them on the journey to find these solutions as a shared approach. I sincerely do care about the person and getting to know each and every one I work with by meeting them where they are at. I am willing to incorporate some faith based (Christian) perspectives into treatment if asked yet I will not push this on you. I believe that we all have stories to tell and that these stories shape our every day life. My goal is to help people work on their anxiety, depression or other issues related to their daily lives in a way that they can become more active and healthy in their lives and relationships around them.

Many individuals are in the midst of figuring out who they are and what they want; whether they’re navigating the complexity of young adulthood, shifting relationships, and/or going through various life transitions in these current times. I truly believe therapy can be a landing space to begin exploring your own internal journey that can lead to further growth and understanding of yourself.

I have been a licensed psychologist for a number of years and have generally provided therapeutic services on an outpatient basis. The majority of my experience has been in providing therapy to individuals who have experienced some form of trauma,

Wonderful to Meet You!

I'm so glad you are here to prioritize your mental health! As a clinical psychologist, I believe in whole health, including both mind and body and their connection. With over 15 years of experience providing clinical care, I specialize in treating sleep difficulties, depression, anxiety, PTSD, coping with health conditions and empowering individuals to feel their best selves.

Hi, I'm Caterina — an LCSW based in the Philadelphia area offering telehealth sessions to adults across Pennsylvania. My path to this work isn't typical: I spent years on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, supporting people through acute mental health crises and some of the most difficult chapters a person can face. That experience shaped me into a clinician who knows how to stay calm, stay present, and stay with you — even when things get hard.

I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, substance use and recovery, life transitions, health conditions, trauma, women's issues, and the kind of chronic stress that makes it hard to recognize yourself anymore. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I bring my full attention to every session — and I meet you exactly where you are, not where I think you should be.

I am a compassionate, approachable, and nonjudgmental therapist who strives to create a safe and supportive environment for every client. During our first session, I make it a priority to emphasize that therapy is a space free from judgment and blame. As human beings, we all experience challenges, setbacks, and mistakes throughout our lives, and I believe these experiences are a natural part of personal growth.

While I serve in the role of therapist, I do not view myself as superior to those I work with. Instead, I value collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful progress occurs when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment.

Honesty and transparency are central to my practice. Together, we will develop individualized goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and aspirations rather than pursuing a predetermined or "easy" path. I recognize that no one has all the answers, and I am committed to being honest when I do not know something. In those instances, I will make every effort to seek out accurate information and resources to best support your growth and well-being.

My goal is to work alongside you as a partner in your journey, helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

I accept every client for who he or she is. I do not pass judgment, and I am very confidential.
