If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself lately, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’m Luke Baloga, LPC, a Pittsburgh-based therapist originally from Erie, PA. I support adults, couples, families, and groups navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorders, and trauma. Drawing from my background as an athlete and experience in the fitness world, I take a holistic, down-to-earth approach that focuses on your whole wellbeing, not just your symptoms.
My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We’ll keep things clear and manageable, looking at what you can realistically control right now. I blend Reality/Choice Theory with CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based tools to help you build steady routines, break big goals into smaller steps, and feel more grounded day-to-day.
In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, genuine conversation—not an interrogation. I’ll take time to learn your story, and you’re welcome to ask questions about me and what therapy might look like. When you’re ready to take small but meaningful steps forward, I'll be right by your side. I always say that you're the driver, I'm the navigator!

I have an integrative approach, meaning I draw from many modalities in a way that will best serve you as an individual. Even so, my approach is rooted in reality/choice theory in that I value identifying where we have the power to create change and doing so. You can expect to have a fluent, personable conversation that naturally uncovers avenues for success.
