Denija DuCasse
Pre-Licensed Professional
Verified
I have been employed in the mental health field for the past 8 years. I have experience working in different settings and with many different populations. The bulk of my experience has been in substance abuse counseling; however, I have experience with mental health counseling as well. As an avid advocate for the underserved populations, I have found that people heal best when they are being supported adequately. It has been my mission to ensure that those who need help are able to receive the help. My theoretical approach to counseling is based on the needs of the client. I am a firm believer of meeting the client where they are.
Lee Jacobs Riggs
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-PA, LCPC-IL
Verified
In my individual, couples, and family work, values of collaboration, mutuality, and connection guide my practice. I partner with clients to identify their own unique strengths that can be used as resources to foster growth and change. I am attentive to the role of early family experiences, cultural values, oppression, and stigma in shaping client's experiences. Particularly when addressing painful or traumatic areas, I attend to clients' emotional safety using mindfulness and body awareness. I believe that healing happens in the context of honest relationships and invite my clients to engage in open dialog about our work together.

Not feeling comfortable in your own skin? Struggling to adjust to life changes? These are normal parts of the human experience, but sometimes they strain our typical ability to cope. Too often, we blame ourselves for our own suffering. But in blaming ourselves, we miss plenty of nuance and deny the real causes of pain. My passion is to support you as you grow into the best version of yourself. Together, we’ll explore your story. As we go down this exciting road, I’ll help you create your own life narrative which works for you.
Jon Weingarden
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I am a Pittsburgher and I'm proud to practice psychology in my home community. My goal is to see each client as a person first, and provide individualized healthcare. I see therapy as collaborative, and including both skill-building and self-exploration. In terms of self-exploration, I see the client as the expert in their own life, while a therapist is attuned to noticing themes or patterns that the client would have otherwise missed or avoided.

Change, even good change, is hard. Life events and transitions happen to all of us and we sometimes need help moving forward. Together, we will find your path toward healing and growth, based on your innate self-compassion, dignity and courage.
Ann Adams
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MPH, LSW
Verified
I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I’m also here to help if you’ve gone through a significant stress or loss recently — perhaps you’ve experienced a major upheaval or maybe you’re grappling with more subtle, disruptive changes in your day-to-day functioning. Either way, such shifts can be destabilizing to our mental health, causing us to question core beliefs and ask: Am I even on the right path? New traumas unfold - older ones may awaken but we all still have a very real need to feel grounded and safe - to be free from the anxiety and depression that may obscure our truest selves.

“The only way out is through.” There are times in our lives when our feelings of limitation and fear prevent us from reaching freedom, true happiness, and love. At some point, all of us will feel the need to make changes in our lives. Change is often difficult to navigate without help. My goal as your counselor is to help increase self-awareness of your thoughts, actions, and reactions, helping you to become the agent of change in your own life. I appreciate a variety of counseling techniques including cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused therapy.

Recovering from an eating disorder and/or severe trauma can frequently be difficult. My broad training and extensive experience enables me to work with patients in a variety of ways including traditional therapeutic approaches, the incorporation of art therapy as a component of treatment, and the use of EMDR. I work with each individual patient to determine the type of approach that best matches her personality and therapeutic needs. I have been one of the first psychotherapists to make use of expressive arts and EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders.

I focus to help you reduce anxiety, increase coping, improve communication, and help you align your values with your life. I work to help people become more in tune with themselves and their body to gain awareness you need to live the life you want to live. One of my strongest beliefs about a client/therapist relationship is a therapeutic alliance. I will work with you to develop a relationship of trust so we can work together to help you achieve your passions in life. I tend to work in the moment with you to explore maladaptive patterns and help you transform old patterns into ways of being that will overall work better for you.

If you abandon the present moment, you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply -Thich Nhat Hahn. It can be important to understand ourselves to be able to navigate this world. We often struggle with our own experiences and internal worlds. I can offer you space and understanding to work through those difficult questions and experiences you are having with a non-judgmental voice. I understand that our lives don't fit that traditional model and they don't have to which includes helping people through sex therapy. I have experience helping people work through their issues to find their authentic self and voice.

Being an adult is hard, especially for women. Having to make difficult decisions about your career, relationships, future, process things about your past, or set boundaries with those around you -- can feel seemingly impossible. Balancing a career, household, and/or a relationship can be taxing, anxiety provoking, draining, and leave you feeling completely depleted. But these aren't impossible things to tackle, and there is hope for a better, more peaceful, balanced you. You are only one step away from beginning a journey to better take care of yourself. And it starts here.
