Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Aspinwall, PA

Hello! I'm so happy that you're here! I am passionate about helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and transitional life challenges. If you want a life with less anxiety, worry, stress, or sadness, we'll work together to achieve attainable goals to get you where you want to be. I want to create a safe, inclusive space for you to talk about your unique challenges, and how you envision a life worth living and thriving! I welcome the individuality of each client's life story. My ideal client is committed to exploring their potential for change and growth in a supportive and collaborative environment.

I welcome working with anyone interested in the therapy process regardless of their issues or goals. There are many options for coping skills such as from EMDR (emdria certified); Gestalt, Existential, DBT, CBT and Mindfulness. Past/ current clients have worked through generational trauma, disordered eating, sexual assault, family and/ or marital concerns, trauma, depression and anxiety, attention deficit, career and direction of life concerns. It is common to struggle with the first step of reaching out to a provider.. typically people feel relief once they start talking to and then selecting a provider.

I have been in full-time practice as a clinical social worker/psychotherapist since 1969, and practiced in both hospital and agency psychiatric settings for over 15 years, in addition to maintaining a private practice. Throughout my career, I have provided numerous national and regional training seminars and workshops for MH professionals on women's issues; the chronically mentally ill; dual-diagnosed populations; and group psychotherapy modalities, and have also published in these areas. I have an eclectic style that encourages a flexible and collaborative working partnership which reflects the needs, goals, and personal context of the individual person.

Do you feel like you are going through life’s struggles alone, unsupported and with no direction? Balancing the demands of life, work or school in today's fast paced and changing world can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, lonely or even angry. As children we sometimes develop behavioral strategies to face life's challenges or trauma's that as adults, simply no longer fit with how we imagine or intend ourselves to be. Understanding the nature and origin of destructive patterns and their consequences, addressing current challenges and long standing issues, gaining insight and learning the skills necessary for change is what successful therapy is about.

Hi, I’m Kiara I work with couples who feel disconnected and frustrated with each other. Too many couples are stuck arguing all the time without resolving anything. This leaves many couples feeling detached from each other, falling out of love, and even feeling numb towards their partner. I believe most problems in relationships can be solved through healthy communication skills and by getting back on the same page. BUT that can be so hard to do on your own.

Making the decision to reach out for support or guidance isn’t easy. You might be going through a difficult life transition, experiencing relationship problems, feeling depressed or anxious, or struggling to manage life stressors. Therapy can be a great opportunity to explore long-standing problems and to work through current challenges in the safety of a nurturing, non-judgmental environment.

Psychotherapy is a unique journey; a journey that I am committed to taking with you. My interests include working with interpersonal/relational issues as well as concerns related to identity, personality, sex/sexuality, anxiety, and trauma. I practice from a psychodynamic approach, personalized to meet the needs of each client. Our sessions together will assist you in developing a greater understanding of self and your interactions with others. I am currently offering individual sessions as well as supervision to pre-licensed professionals.
