Spirituality Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
My ideal client may come to therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship or work issues. For example, they may have social anxiety and want to learn coping skills. They might want to broaden their social support, and improve their self-esteem. Their goals might be to learn relaxation techniques to reduce stress. A long-term goal might be to better understand where their anxiety came from in the first place. They would be interactive and willing to take action toward their goals, viewing me as a helper rather than a fixer.

In my practice, I specialize in managing anxiety, depression, stress, transitions, self-worth, relationship issues, and trauma. I'm particularly eager to connect with other queer, AAPI and mixed-race folks, those in marginalized communities, and anyone curious about alternative paths to healing. I work best with clients who are ready to be honest, vulnerable and supported — who want change even a little more than they fear it.

I use a holistic approach to treatment emphasizing on rapport building. "There is a reason for all behavior and when it comes to people seeking true wellness, I don't want people to depend on medication." I enjoy helping people change and explore themselves. "The scarecrow, in the movie The Wiz, thought that he did not have a brain. He believed that he was just a sack of old newspapers; but, it took the experience of a "journey" to help him realize that he was not just a sack of newspapers but a wealth of information. "Lets find your wealth!"

I am an Asian American art therapist passionate about working with people navigating questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. I especially enjoy supporting young adults and adults who may be moving through transitions, feeling stuck, or learning how to care for themselves amid academic pressures, work stress, family expectations, or shifting relationships.
Much of my work includes supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety, burnout, grief, and the lingering impacts of trauma. I value helping clients make sense of their internal worlds, reconnect with their own voice, and build more ease, stability, and self-trust.

In a world that demands constant composure, it can be hard to find space to feel, reflect, or even just breathe. Maybe you're carrying the weight of other people’s emergencies, or maybe you're finally confronting your own. Whether you’re facing trauma, grief, burnout, or just the quiet ache that something needs to change, you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to make sense of what’s brought you here and help you move forward with clarity and compassion. I believe that humans communicate best face-to-face, so therapy (like most relationships) works best in-person.

My approach to counseling is based on having an authentic encounter between you and I. The hope of engaging in a genuine encounter during the therapeutic process is that it will lead to more accurate and substantive self-discovery and healing. My belief is that the therapeutic encounter and relationship can provide an environment where creativity (potential for new ways of thinking and being) can exist while working through having strong emotions or negative life experiences.

What could a sense of liberation & healthy connection look like for you in your day-to-day life? You’ve gotten to this point of your existence, and have collected a variety of experiences and patterns that have shaped the complexity of who you are and the ways you interact with others. Still, more changes/transitions are inevitable. They may leave you feeling confused, disconnected, frustrated, lost, misdirected, or completely misaligned with the life you have envisioned for yourself. That's okay!

My style of counseling is relaxed, compassionate, and non-judgemental. Working primarily from a Gestalt perspective, which does not assume pathology, I also draw from practical mindfulness, yoga and vedanta, and the Enneagram as needed. So much of the world feels like complete shite right now. Within our control is the ability to learn about and care for ourselves, the benefits of which extend to all with whom we interact as well.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
