Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Bethel Park, PA

The choice to start therapy can be a difficult one. Sometimes life’s greatest challenges also present opportunities for transformation. My desire is to provide a safe and comfortable space where that can occur. Psychotherapy can be a wonderful process to take much needed time for yourself. The world throws a lot at us. I believe therapy needs to be a conversation-tailored to each persons individual needs. Collaboration is key and my goal is to help my clients learn skills and strategies to increase coping and find peace. I also believe that change is possible for every person. My pronouns are she/her.

Is your child or teen or young adult struggling with anger, anxiety, trauma or depression? Are you losing hope and unsure where to turn to help them? I have worked with children, teens, and adults for the past 20 years working to empower young people with coping skills and practical strategies to manage strong emotions. I use a variety of evidence based strategies including mindfulness and cognitve-behavioral therapy to help young people find a sense of inner calm. Happiness and peace are possible for your child and for you. I see school aged children ages 8 and up as well as adults for individual counseling.

Hello! I am Tammy McAdoo, LCSW. I am located in a rural town in PA. I have worked in case management, substance abuse disorders, in schools, and as an outpatient therapist. I truly enjoy helping others make improvements to their life. I like the client to set their goals and work toward them at their pace. I use a client-centered approach and simply provide guide rails to help them reach their goals.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that we are human and spiritual beings unfolding into our truest selves. As a skilled and gentle companion I support and encourage the balance of this wholeness and agree to walk this journey with you. It is in this therapeutic relationship that strength and courage are the center and source of healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Certified Trauma Specialist and a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and grief. I am a client centered therapist which means I use a variety of counseling styles that suit my individual client. I am interested in assisting clients experiencing grief, depression, trauma, anxiety, family issues, and everyday life issues. We all experience loss but each type of loss is different and needs to be addressed individually.

Clients who work best with me tend to yearn awakening and change. I welcome the challenge to help clients connect with higher versions of themselves. Trauma, difficult emotions, relationships and the stress of life often lead to feeling stuck, feeling out of control of yourself, your emotions and reactions. My goal is to show you that there is a better way. A way to live with intention and purpose, guided by the best version of you! (Please note I do not have evening or weekend availability and my office is located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh- I will ask you to complete a brief phone consult to ensure I am a good fit)

I provide a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment with several different integrative approaches. My counseling style is rooted in person-centered compassion, along with a strength-based and mindfulness emphasis.

Have you found it difficult to live your life authentically? Have you ever felt out of place or different? You are not alone. I value an integrative approach to therapy which allows me to tailor my treatment methods to work best with each individual as no two people are the same. Focusing on a holistic point of view, I encourage self-discovery through the mind, body, relationships, spirituality, thoughts, and emotions. A large part of my work includes mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy which aids in connecting thoughts and emotions to promote healthy behavior.

I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root of their struggles. These clients would like to gain insight into their symptoms, something difficult that has happened to them or to explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them. The clients I see often have attended therapy in the past. The clients I see also often present with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in their personal and work relationships.

Are you struggling with life's challenges in some way? Perhaps, a personal loss, a life change, your mood or self-esteem, or maybe you're struggling with processing and coping with past relationships, experiences or traumas. I offer my clients a safe space to explore and process past events and relationships which are impacting their present, and in turn make positive changes to their current and future selves and relationships. We will work together to help you recognize and resolve your internal and relational conflicts, and create and accomplish your personal goals for therapy, counseling and overall wellness.

Hello! I provide a non-judgmental space where you have the freedom to discuss your thoughts, emotions, and other important aspects of life that cause suffering and leave you feeling disconnected and distant. My experience is that therapy, while sometimes uncomfortable, is an enjoyable experience where we focus on growth and not spend all our time spinning in circles while experiencing more pain and suffering. I believe that truly effective and holistic counseling should not only focus on reducing symptoms, but it should also help you experience more joy while living with a sense of lightness and freedom.

The best thing about being a therapist is getting to meet so many different people and walk with them through their journey, being able to help them reach their own personal goals. I really enjoy working with individuals that have a desire to make lasting changes and take back control. We can lose ourselves in the chaos that we find ourselves surrounded by, and being able help others find solitude within that chaos is what I love about this profession.

Working with us you'll get results. Because we believe you're best served by a clinician who's passionate about not only their work, but who they work with as well.

I truly believe that all humans seek to be seen, heard, and understood. Life is hard, but no one has to do that alone. As a counselor, I hope to create a safe space where anyone can begin to acknowledge and tell their story. My humanistic approach is foundational to the counseling I provide. Depending on the client and the treatment goals, I will use a variety of theories and techniques. I wholeheartedly believe in positive psychology and love to help others see and seek their fullest potential.

More Than Just Talk....... If you haven't been in psychotherapy before, you may not realize that the traditional approach to treatment is to educate the client about their conditions and teach them how to change their own feelings and behaviors. Although this approach can be very helpful, it is usually a long process that depends a great deal on the individual's courageous persistence. Moreover, a change in behavior and belief does not necessarily resolve the history of negative experiences fueling such things as depression and anxiety. These are some of the reasons I offer "More Than Just Talk".

Hello! I'm Alexis and I have experience working with every age group (children, teens, adults, retirees/senior citizens) over the span of mental health concerns including clinical symptoms, relational distress, emotional disturbance, and behavioral adjustment. Additionally, I have served couples in marriage counseling and families through family counseling/parenting support. Ideal clients are motivated for change, interested in exploring deep roots of present issues, and willing to try what might be uncomfortable or new to take ownership of their health + be empowered to pursue true behavior modification and healing.

I have over 25 years as an experienced counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked over the years in home, school, community, residential, hospital and outpatient settings. My therapy is based on an Adlerian approach as well as advanced trainings in DBT, anxiety issues including OCD, depressive issues including MDD, ADHD, mood disorders, strength-based therapy, family therapy, and relationship dynamics. I love to use visualization techniques as well as incorporate current research solutions, workbooks, and training materials into my current practice.

We offer in person and teletherapy video sessions. Life isn’t always easy. Even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and feel very comfortable addressing any life-span issue or transitional concern. I also enjoy working with young adolescents as well as young adults addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Working with a variety of age groups, including adults; allows me to maintain up to date clinical skills as well as having a better understanding to all life stages. Regardless of what difficulty you may be facing, the first step to change is the awareness that something doesn't feel right. This awareness is usually the first step to the possibility of change.
