Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor # PC008753
I am a Pennsylvania licensed, master’s level mental health therapist practicing in the South Hills of Pittsburgh specializing in working with adults (ages 18-108) who have experienced acute and complex trauma, including developmental relational and attachment trauma and single incident trauma. I also am passionate about helping women stand in their power and fully express who they feel they are on the inside and break free from the expectations put on them from their families, careers, or society.
I work with you to find the method that fits who you are. Upon our meeting, I will work with you to help identify the best method that will make you feel open and willing throughout the therapy process. I have an interactive style that is always compassionate and sometimes slightly challenging; giving you the support you need and the motivation to help you move in the direction of health, healing, and growth. I will support you throughout your process.
I offer methods of healing that don’t require words. I know emotions and experiences can be hard to express through words and talking alone. Art therapy can provide a safe outlet to release those feelings while helping you gain insight into yourself and your values and beliefs. My role is to help guide you through your own creativity to understand yourself. No artistic talent or background is necessary. I also am a trained EMDR therapist. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a clinically proven, evidenced-based treatment modality for acute and chronic PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other life concerns. This process focuses on your thoughts, emotions, memories, and body sensations to help untangle the complexities of your concerns. Engaging in EMDR requires very little talking and instead encourages you to focus on your internal experiences to help calm the storm within to find clarity.
I have the tools to help you grow. In addition to using creative and expressive therapies, I also work with you on skill building to help cope with life stressors using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or to help you work through and process traumatic experiences using narrative therapies. Using a Mindfulness based approach, I encourage each of my clients to give themselves the opportunity to do something different with their feelings and let themselves be open to a moment of peace. I believe we heal when our bodies, minds, and souls are able to work in harmony together and be a more authentic version of ourselves. With a holistic approach, I can help you re-integrate these elements to help you feel grounded and whole again.
I trust all humans are naturally resilient. That means you—yes, you!—can bounce back from tough experiences. I also understand sometimes support from a neutral person can empower you to navigate life’s transitions and adjustments. You have the answers to your concerns inside of you, and sometimes just need a bit of help uncovering them.
Thank you in advance for allowing me the opportunity to walk with you on your journey.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) who has been working in the field of mental health for over 18 years. I work with both adolescents (11yo+) and adults (18yo+) who have a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, behavioral and school issues, suicidal thinking, addiction concerns, and folx in the transgender community.
I have worked primarily with children and adolescents in community mental health, both in an office setting and in local school districts, but I also work with adults. Over the course of my career, I have assisted those with a wide variety of struggles, including behavioral and school related issues, autism, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Working in these settings also provided me with the opportunity to work with a variety of populations including those in the transgender community, those who engage in self-harming behaviors with and without suicidal thoughts, those with addiction issues, and those who deal with domestic violence. I pride myself in learning who my patients truly are so that I can establish an authentic and meaningful therapeutic alliance with each of them.
My goal is to find ways to empower my clients and help them learn the skills needed to deal with the various problems in their lives that are causing them negativity and pain that lead to poor self-concept, low-self-esteem, and much worse. I am here to help them work toward healing and identifying alternate paths to address their individual issues. I use a variety of tools and approaches to assist my clients, including CBT, and EMDR.
Please know that I am here to assist you, as my client, in learning how to feel better and to become more empowered to deal with issues that life has thrown at you. No matter what age we are, we all have obstacles to overcome. I invite you to allow me to travel with you along the pathway of life’s hardships so that, together, we can work toward you conquering them as you move forward toward inner peace and healing. Finally, I would like to give credit to the writer and poet Maya Angelou who once stated so eloquently, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” I believe that this speaks very clearly to the therapeutic process, as difficult as it may be to go through, but leading to the positive transformation you can achieve.
Thank you for reading,
Carolyn

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I enjoy working with children (7 years and up) and young adults (18-35yo) who have a range of concerns including anxiety, low self esteem, unhealthy coping skills, suicidal/self-harm thoughts, up and down emotions, and trouble returning to emotional baseline. I earned my master’s degree in Professional Counseling with a specialization in School Counseling from Carlow University and a bachelor’s degree in Social Services from Chatham University. I have 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents and young adults in multiple settings.
I specialize in working with people who feel they have anxiety and low self-esteem. I have the ability to help you find your positive qualities and the tools to help you believe in yourself again. I am also skilled and experienced working with individuals who have borderline personality disorder or similar traits. I help clients with these kinds of concerns to take ownership of their lives in a way that empowers them to replace old ways of being, thinking, and doing with healthy, powerful, and impactful thoughts, feelings, and actions. I enjoy helping clients discover coping skills and understand their feelings so they can feel better and be able to identify and respond in healthy ways to all of the ups and downs life can throw at us.
I use a person-centered approach, meaning I view every person as an individual. I will treat you as the unique person you or your child is during our work together. I also believe in the healing power of lighthearted humor and foster an environment where this can happen in the therapy process. We will work together to help you or your child be the person you want to be. My goal as your therapist is to amplify your strengths to support you in overcoming difficult challenges.
Overall, my clients are important to me. I strive to provide a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel that importance and use that safety to grow.
