While every counseling experience is unique, the team at Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute (PPI) seeks to provide an empathetic relationship in which individuals and families can safely and freely discuss their challenges and concerns in a holistic context carefully considering the mind, body, and soul in therapy. This is also a "person-centered" process in which the client determines the areas of exploration and discovery.
Spirituality, religion, and/or faith can also be explored as preferred throughout discussing personal growth, self-awareness, and meaningful relationships in life. PPI welcomes individuals and families seeking services without discrimination of age, color, ethnic origin, gender, disability, race, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation.
Finding the right therapist to work within sensitive and vulnerable areas of life can be challenging. PPI's Clinical Team of licensed behavioral health professionals is diverse in expertise, background, and approach. Clients and therapists are matched as closely as possible by PPI's Intake Team, taking care to respect your interests and needs.
