Brianna Holste
Counselor, MS, LAPC
1 Endorsed
Pittsburgh, PA 15241
I work best with children, adolescence and teens, young adults and those through middle life.
Welcome- If you have found me, it means you are looking for something to change. Therapy should feel both supportive and effective—you deserve a space where you feel grounded and where meaningful progress is happening. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools you can use in your everyday life. My goal is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and build measurable, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I am especially excited about working with individuals facing life transitions, teens and young adults.
