I also work with people to recognize thought and behavior patterns that tend to get in the way of them being able to thrive.
Everyone comes to a point in their life where they find themselves struggling to reach their potential. Whether this struggle includes feelings of depression or anxiety, or it involves a deeper issue, no one has to go through the struggle alone. Sometimes we go through unexpected changes, whether in our professional life, our personal relationships, or even the state of the world. It is times like these where having the right support matters most.

PPI's Clinical Team of licensed behavioral health professionals is diverse in expertise, background, and approach.
While every counseling experience is unique, the team at Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute (PPI) seeks to provide an empathetic relationship in which individuals and families can safely and freely discuss their challenges and concerns in a holistic context carefully considering the mind, body, and soul in therapy. This is also a "person-centered" process in which the client determines the areas of exploration and discovery.

My ideal client values compassionate and holistic mental health support, including ADHD testing. They may face challenges like depression, PTSD, anxiety, work/school stressors, substance use disorders, relationship issues, or psychosis-related disorders. Whether adolescents or adults, they appreciate my 20 years of experience and my expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Collaborative treatment is key for them; they don't want a "know-it-all" therapist. They might identify with LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse communities or come from diverse cultural/ethnic backgrounds, and they value my commitment to understanding.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
