Robert Hawkins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Pittsburgh, PA


I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.

Laura Bauder

Laura Bauder

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I like to tell new and potential clients that I'm a human just like you, the only difference is my education in counseling. I approach all sessions with a genuine curiosity, rational thought process, and the ability to view a situation through multiple lenses. I can tell you all about the alphabet soup (credentials) behind my name, but what I know to be most important is the relationship you build with your therapist, I hope to be that person for you.

I've been told I’m easy to sit with and talk to. I believe that while therapy can be hard work, it can also be a time of funny reflection. Having a positive therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us, and it is my desire that we can sit together and laugh, experience tears, and talk openly about your greatest concerns and pains.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, please feel free to request a complementary 15 minute consultation where we can talk and see if we might be a good fit for each other. I have experience working with adults experiencing grief and loss, addictions, ADHD, and trauma. Even if you’re not sure therapy is right for you, maybe a free consultation.

Welcome to my practice! My name is Nichola Lydon, and I’m excited to work with you. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Montclair State University.
