Spirituality Therapists in Squirrel Hill North, Pittsburgh, PA

The concept of therapy can be intimidating... My goal is to make it comfortable for you to discuss your situations by providing an honest, non-judgmental atmosphere, while offering support and validation. Throughout my career, I have helped individuals cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as grief and loss, problems within family systems and relationships, and trauma-related issues. I have helped individuals dealing with addictions and substance abuse, and have also helped young adults in higher education transition to new environments and social settings.

I believe distress arises naturally in our complex, over stimulating and often threatening world. I encourage people to learn about themselves & their natural human reactions to distress. Clients learn ways to settle their mind and body, growing their capacity to respond rather than react. Clients develop inner and outer power resources to cope with challenging circumstances. I am committed to racial-cultural learning to increase self-awareness, reduce micro-aggressions, and facilitate meaningful change toward greater equity and opportunity for people who have been/are oppressed.

Hi, I'm Dr Shelly Hanlon. I'm a licensed and board certified clinician with over 30 years of experience. My approach to practicing psychotherapy is to first work collaboratively with you, on identifying and harnessing your innate strengths, and talents. Then together, we will work in a safe and comfortable setting to develop strategies and "life hacks," that will ensure therapeutic change and personal growth. By analyzing existing patterns, within the context of one's own life experience, we will develop a behavioral approach that will result in a greater sense of empowerment and the opportunity for life long success.

I'm committed to fostering nonjudgmental connections with individuals as they seek to move toward healthy, creative change. I’ve dedicated my professional life to helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I love helping folks explore intergenerational questions and problems. I have a deep interest in helping people learn to live with more ease inside their bodies—to learn more about their own sexuality, to cultivate awareness of cultural forces that would separate us from our bodies, and to develop practices that can reunite our bodies with our minds, emotions and spirits.

I believe meaningful change occurs when people are given the space and support to consider new ways of relating to themselves and their experiences. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to offer that space and support so that the process of psychotherapy can be as useful to you as possible.

Seeking therapy can be the first action towards relief from the everyday issues we try to sift through on our own. Making that call and advocating for ourselves to get the help we need is big step. My aim is to create a safe space that can foster individual change and help you navigate the answers they already have within themselves. I strive to create a personalized environment for people to explore their feelings and do the hard work to create the lives they desire. Therapy can be intimidating for many and I aim to meet people where they are and use the therapeutic relationship to foster growth.

I have experience working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds experiencing trauma, chronic stress, relationship breakdowns, and instability. I find passion in helping clients navigate difficult life experiences, regain a sense of agency and self-compassion, and address relational dynamics.

Art Therapy is for everyone! I work with individuals from diverse cultures and existences; feeling that being accepting, respectful, and genuine are characteristics essential in a therapist. I also offer spiritual, logistical, emotional, and mental support to those dealing with loss, adversity, resilience, attachment, relationships, gender, identity, ADHD, anxiety, depression. I work with those in early adulthood, adults, and later life adults. LGBTQIA, as well as kinky folks find a place of acceptance in my office. People who require direct communication are well-served by my direct, person-centered, Humanistic approach.

People seek therapy when they feel that what they are experiencing is beyond their capacity to help themselves.This is a powerful moment in a life because it creates a crack through which something new can come in.I feel privileged to have been invited into people's lives over the last 30 years to begin a process that can be transformative.

I provide a safe and gentle place for you to work out whatever is bothering you. We all need a little help along the way. Life can be difficult and it's important to have a safe and completely confidential person to talk to. I have 30 years of training and experience that bring excellent help "to the table" in a compassionate and supportive way. I am looking forward to meeting with you.

I am passionate about the importance and value of each human and believe deeply that there is a part of us that when confused by stress, depression, anxiety or any of the immense pressures of our world today is calling out to be heard, seen, and validated. I work well with clients who are looking for a supportive therapeutic relationship on life’s path to deeper personal truth and inner peace. I feel that our inner truth is revealed through deep listening and self compassion and can help you to hear more than the inner critic that keeps us sick,trapped,and stuck in unfulfilled ruts.

I believe each of us has a gift of Self to unwrap and embrace along life's journey, especially when we've lived through a life threatening event or a series of chronic traumas. I know first hand how impossible connecting to ourselves can seem afterward. We grieve the loss of a sense of safety and often believe that our identity has changed to what has happened to us. We fear life will always be tarnished and feel set apart by our shame. Through my own life journey and my experiences as a Trauma therapist I have witnessed the reclaiming of Self that arises from the ashes of violence when healing begins to happen!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I believe we all strive to feel a sense of belonging and to master any task before us. I view emotional, behavioral and relationship problems as distress signals indicating that current attempts at realizing important healthy strivings are not working. Repetitive, unsatisfying patterns of interaction can result, leaving everyone involved feeling discouraged, isolated and "stuck". This is usually when folks seek counseling for themselves or their loved ones.

Looking for a warm, compassionate environment for your healing journey? Wanting a highly experienced therapist? In my more than 40 years as a psychologist I have accumulated the clinical competence and wisdom to be your partner to achieve your goals in therapy. I have many clients who are psychotherapists themselves who appreciate that I can help in ways they've been previously stuck. I understand & have been trained to work with people with complex trauma and dissociation. I also work with single incident trauma that is causing flashbacks, nightmares, hyper-alertness, etc. I can also teach you skills to manage difficult emotions.

My clinical focus is helping clients increase confidence, feel more fulfilled, and create satisfying relationships. I believe people have the inner power to heal and to grow; I can provide empathy and guidance for those who are struggling with this process. My approach to psychotherapy is an integration of CBT, DBT, mindfulness & expressive techniques (i.e., art, writing, yoga) within a trauma-focused model. More simply said, I assist clients in understanding how their relational experiences and perceptions impact their emotions and their stories of their lives, & how to change any aspect that is impeding satisfaction and connection
