Christian Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power." OpenMind Wellness Counseling Services, LLC provides individual and group counseling to adolescents, adults, and older adults. I believe in incorporating an integrative, holistic approach to wellness, acknowledging the role mind-body-spirit play in the healing process. Healing is also promoted through the development of psychosocial areas of life: career, emotional, social, and interpersonal. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), including Christian - and spiritually-integrated CBT. I am a multicultural competent counselor. I am located in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, and offer day, evening, and weekend hours.

Are you tired of being bogged down by worry, relationship challenges, low mood, or low self-image? Are you struggling to manage your emotions? I believe counseling is about helping you become the best version of yourself. I invite clients to come as they are into a space where recovery and healing can take place- while feeling safe, relaxed, and supported in the process. My almost 10 years of experience has included counseling in community agency, hospital-based outpatient/intensive outpatient clinic, and private practice settings. My approach blends gentleness, warmth, and empathy with teaching skills to promote real life changes.

With 20 years experience of empowering individuals, couples and families, I aim to inspire those I counsel. I am passionate about people and the restoration, maintenance and progression of their relationships. I help people adjust to life changes including: academic, family or work related stress; education, employment or military relocation; and loss. I specialize in “before the ring” counseling, financial matters, interracial coupling, pregnancy care, and racial identity of Biracials. For those seeking Christian counseling, I am a Jesus follower and I am willing to incorporate faith into therapy upon request.

In my personal life I wear many hats. I have been married to my husband Jeb for 20 years. We have three wonderfully-wild and amazing kids (a boy and two girls). I am a Christian and I have a deep meaningful relationship with God. I have navigated my own trauma and PTSD. Trauma can be very isolating. The process of healing from my own trauma is what led me want to walk alongside others who are struggling with their own darkest times. My hope as a therapist is that no one has to walk alone. I value the therapeutic alliance and it has been my greatest joy to watch many clients transition from surviving to thriving.

As a compassionate and person-centered therapist, I am here to help you work towards your personal goals and find healing and growth. Whether it is the trauma of past hurts, the challenges of present circumstances, or the fear of an uncertain future, counseling can help. I consider it a privilege to come alongside my clients, whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, or any number of life transitions, and support you on your journey. I strive to create a non-judgmental therapeutic environment built on empathy, where we work collaboratively to help you find healing and solutions.

It is a difficult task looking for a therapist. You are in a vulnerable position and how can you pick someone from a list of hundreds of people who all sound the same? To make this process a bit easier, I am active on TikTok and Instagram. My handle and username on there is "ruthhantherapy". I have hundreds of short videos on these platforms so that you can get to know me a bit more and see if I may be able to help you with what you are struggling with.

If you are a teen or young adult who is struggling (or an advocate for one), know that I have spent my career working with young people, and -for real-, I get it. Being a teen (or adult, honestly) is hard! My goal is to be compassionate and authentic (zero judgment zone), meet you where you are, and help you to sort out your experiences, make meaning of them, and build your best life. I especially enjoy connecting with those who are neurodiverse or who have experienced hard stuff. I'm a pretty big nerd/geek, and I am fluent in "gamer," & I am comfortable with modifying to create an environment that works for you.

Are you OK? So many of us are experiencing anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Some of us feel stuck in our careers or lost in destructive patterns in our relationships. Perhaps you’re still grieving a lost loved one and feeling as though the hole in your heart will never heal – or maybe some trauma in your past has you trapped in a cycle of unwanted or unhealthy thoughts or behaviors. There is hope! We were designed to heal, and healing often takes place within safe relationships and connections with others. Therapy provides that safe relationship where real change can occur.
