Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Upper Saint Clair, PA

I work with individuals using a holistic approach to mind, body and soul by allowing clients to attain balance and overcome everyday obstacles while meeting the individuals needs. I utilize different approaches to psychotherapy by incorporating various mind-body interventions including: mindfulness skills, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused brief therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. I believe that each and every individual can benefit from increasing self-awareness, focusing on one’s strengths, and the development of effective communication skills.

Making the decision to seek help is difficult and choosing the right therapist can often be overwhelming.

I can help you with a wide array of concerns and life stressors including depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, career frustrations and parenting issues as well as interpersonal, marital and partner conflicts. Let's talk to see if I am the right therapist for you.

Young adults who may need extra support and guidance as they transition into their education and careers: I would like to help you navigate independence and responsibility while making sure you're making smart and healthy choices. Adults who are working a program of addiction recovery: I would like to help support you in your recovery and in processing and integrating difficult or traumatic life experiences. Individuals who are taking the first and courageous step toward therapy: I would like to help you develop awareness, improve your relationships, change your behavior, and make successful life transitions.

When we go through trauma or significant struggles, it impacts how we perceive the world and ourselves. We may end up talking negatively to ourselves or ruminating on intrusive thoughts. These thoughts can lead us to feel many emotions, such as anxiety, depression, and shame. We may find ourselves using unhealthy coping skills to deal with life's stressors. Overtime, this can become mentally exhausting. I can work with you to understand these thought patterns and identify healthy coping skills. We can work together to find ways to make life more fulfilling and I can help you uncover your inner resilience.
