Therapists in Squirrel Hill, PA

Online & In-person. 25+ yrs of clinical experience. I see counseling as a collaborative process designed to help you become aware of how you think, feel & behave, to help you overcome problems & live more fully. I believe that learning to see yourself & others with compassion and acceptance is a path to well-being & meaning. I have an engaging, experiential counseling style. I also lecture domestically & internationally on anger management, mindful eating, perfectionism & resilience. My approach to self-criticalness was validated by an independent research team. I'm on the Advisory Board of The Mindfulness Project (London, UK).

Trauma can affect us in ways we are not always aware of. Healing can help us in ways we never knew were possible. Stressful and distressing life events can leave us feeling alone, wounded, anxious, sad, or angry. Until the trauma is healed, we may continue to stay stuck. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults (ages 14+), who are struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Self injury, Suicidality, Grief & Loss, OCD, Anger, and other uncomfortable emotions. By treating the potential trauma that lies beneath the surface, I can help you find peace and healing.

I am experienced in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational conflict, family systems, addiction, criminal justice, anger management, eating disorders/body image, and mood disorders. The ideal client actively wants to explore their behaviors and thinking patterns and identify the underlying causes of these behaviors. In addition, the ideal client will be willing to tackle goals inside & outside therapy sessions. My ideal client would be an individual who is internally and externally motivated to change their life. They show up to sessions on time consistently and make a conscious effort to engage in the therapeutic process.

I am a licensed psychologist with many years of experience in cognitive behavioral therapy. I have had success using CBT for anxiety, panic, insomnia, and chronic pain. Treatment is goal oriented, skill based, and backed by research. I will teach you to replace ineffective, automatic thoughts and behaviors with more functional ones. You will learn techniques to quiet your mind. We will also explore the scientific principles of learning and behavior that will help you make long-lasting changes. By practicing these new skills, you can fight back against nagging self-doubt and ruminative thinking.

I specialize with adults young and old to help them see how the internal narrative of their life affects how they live today. I am most interested in getting to know each client as an individual, not a “problem” to be fixed. I hold an understanding that people make sense of their world in different ways, and I am sensitive to finding ways to help them to rediscover the healthy parts of themselves that they may have forgotten.

Fulfilling our potential is a lifelong journey of becoming more at peace with ourselves, deepening the intimacy in our relationships, being more authentically human, and feeling more alive each day. Along the way, certain challenges arise to cause us distress or confusion. Such moments can make us feel held back, afraid, or unsure of where to go from here. But these moments can also be the points of growth and healing from which we renew ourselves in ways we did not think possible.

Through seasons of life we face many challenges, concerns, and difficulties which leave an impact on our hearts, minds, and bodies. Getting to know you, and healing is our first priority. Exploration and growth to the spaces you aspire is the next. While we all have an origin story, you are our ideal client. Our steps will setup a safe and secure atmosphere using a balance of empathy and vulnerability to aid introspection. And while we explore fit, we are very open to coordination of care, or referral to a provider you feel is your best fit. You are are priority. And your life satisfaction is our goal. Privacy and respect prioritied

Sometimes it is difficult to like ourselves, let alone love who we are. We are our own harshest critic! Some people use the inner critic as a motivation to succeed in life, but what happens when the inner critic wears you down and becomes debilitating? There are inner resources and strengths in all of us. Sometimes we just need some guidance to figure out what they are and how we may use them to better our lives. With thoughtful consideration to self-compassion and the development of a deeper self-awareness, we can work together to develop a new narrative for your life in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

Are you in need of support? Do you have disturbing thoughts? Do you 'what if" constantly? Are you too angry? Are you confused? Are you struggling with getting out of bed? Are you not yourself? Are loved ones concerned about you? Do you have 'brain fog? Forgetfulness? problems sleeping? Do you have body image issues? Are you self medicating? Do you need someone to talk to without judgement? Life is challenging and sometimes unfair. There is a path out of suffering. Despite a sense of helplessness, anxiety, depression, trauma and fears; there is a way out and I can help you, help your SELF through your challenges.

Welcome! I’m Krista Kelly. I am a licensed professional counselor that believes there is no one-size fits all therapeutic approach. I offer a person-centered lens, meeting you exactly where you are in your unique life experience to develop and work towards their individualized treatment goals. As a trained therapist, I utilize an eclectic approach in pulling from a multitude of therapeutic modalities to fit your particular needs. I offer individual therapy as well as family therapy, accepting clients ranging in age from adolescent to adults.

I believe in providing an environment of understanding, encouragement, and hope to allow you work through overwhelming, stressful, and confusing life situations. My therapeutic framework is client-centered and strengths-based, meaning that I recognize you as the expert on your own lived experiences. My goal is to collaborate with you, concentrating on your inherent strengths, to help you work through difficult and uncomfortable emotions, change thought patterns, and support your personal growth.

Here at Sidework Psychotherapy, I seek to provide a compassionate and respectful environment for my clients. I believe people have the capacity within themselves to bring about positive change in their lives; my role is to help facilitate this. While my therapy style is inquisitive and non-judgmental, I am also direct and honest, challenging my clients to make significant, lasting, meaningful change in their lives.

A lot of people see therapy as a one-sided conversation with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I owe it to you to be as real as possible. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. I do not believe therapy has to always be a painful experience. I understand that making that call to a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment to call and see how I can help.
