Therapists in Mercer, PA

I address all issues from the perspective of a person's environment. We all exist in the context of a family, a community and a culture. In therapy we often find that there is nothing wrong with us, depression, anxiety, etc., are not innate dysfunctions but rather result from conflict that arises in our environment. I like to help individuals, couples and families learn about these environments to better navigate them as well as learn about themselves and what it means to be who they are in the context of their environment.

I work with families and individuals to improve connection and communication. I work with you to cope with depression, anxiety and overwhelm. I help people to develop skills to hear and connect to one another in enriching ways. I also work with couples and individuals adjusting to major life changes. I work with individuals to develop skills for coping with anger, anxiety, boundaries, trauma, and stress. As your therapist I will work with you in creating and sustaining your relational and emotional health. I am now forming a Men's Support group to work in community to promote men's overall wellness contact for more info.

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME! All my life I have believed that a person needs to be the change they want to see in the world. Thus my practice is one where people are free to learn, to grow, to express themselves freely and without judgement about whatever ails them. This could be daily life struggles of riding public transportation, or more philosophical questions about the meaning of life, and everything in between. All it takes to start is the willingness to have a conversation. I take a trauma focused, client first approach which makes getting that conversation started even easier!

I enjoy helping people. I am able to address many issues, such as depression, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship concerns, sexuality concerns, and many more. I offer a comfortable environment for my clients and will work with you to find the solutions that you need.

Teion Ensley-Ellerbe, MS is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Professional that provides services at Calm Pittsburgh. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to help find, or rediscover, the best version of themselves that they may have lost trying to navigate life and its challenges. I have experience in counseling clients through grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, ageing-related issues and hardships, and overall life transitions and conflict. In practice, my clinical approaches with clients are Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral. I am to meet the client where they are in sessions

My style of being and interacting with others is a person-centered and humanistic approach. This involves non-judgmental support, exploration of experiences, and collaborating on support- navigating where you are in life and where you would like to be. This is not a linear journey, and my role is to be there for you along the way.

The funny thing about life's hurts, they generally do not just get better on their own. Running from a problem is a race we will never win. My goal is to create a warm safe and relaxed place for you to explore, to discuss, to learn and maybe laugh. The outcome is for you to feel empowered in your life and to have HOPE. Changing or healing often require learning new skills so my approach is as much about coaching as it is about counseling. My primary counseling modes are Cognitive Dissonance and Reframing and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy). Together we create the tools for HOPE that are custom made for you.

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.

“I just want a change that will work!” That’s a phrase that I have heard many times over my 10+ years in this field. If you desire real change and want help through this process I offer laughter filled, person-centered, evidence based interventions and guidance.
