Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Murrysville, PA

I specialize in treating people with anxiety disorders. I have worked as a clinician in hospitals, mental health centers and in private practice since 1978. I believe in treating the whole person; body, mind, spirit and emotion. I believe a balance of all four is necessary for health. I believe in and practice both dynamic and cognitive-behavioral interventions as well as mindfulness which emphasizes acceptance, compassion for self and others and meditation. I work diligently in the service of my client's recovery and feel great joy in their success. I treat OCD, trauma and panic disorder.

Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, or the weight of past experiences? My ideal clients are individuals seeking solace and growth. They desire healing from emotional wounds, increased resilience, and a secure haven to unravel their thoughts and feelings to achieve grounding themselves in the present. Together, we'll work towards understanding your unique journey, unlocking the potential for healing, and fostering a path to emotional well-being.

We all face challenges in life and sometimes we just need a little extra support. My goal as a counselor is to provide that support and collaborate with you to develop the necessary skills to manage those challenges. I primarily work with children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with social, emotional, and behavioral issues. I aim to create a safe, comfortable, and accepting atmosphere for all of my clients.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 8 years of experience in the field and I am looking to support YOU! My hope is to provide you with some insight and tools to make meaningful change in your life. Whatever obstacles you are facing, if it's the day-to-day challenges or something a bit deeper, you've come to the right place. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction strategies, exposure therapy, and reality testing. I believe in empowering you to take the lead in your own journey towards growth and healing.

I have specialized skills in the treatment of trauma and PTSD, anxiety disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. In addition, I have significant experience in working with relationship concerns, grief and loss, women's issues, LGBTQIA+ identities, and life transitions.

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.

We all have times when we feel like we’re on repeat, stuck, overwhelmed or stressed. I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you make positive changes in your life. While we work together, we’ll explore your goals and tailor therapy to your needs while focusing on your strengths as a basis for change. During my 25 years working with clients, I have worked in traditional outpatient settings and non-traditional settings such as PCP offices and schools.

Going through life, what we experience is only a small percentage of what is happening to us and a large majority of how we perceive it. If you're experiencing a life transition, anxiety, depression, parenting stressors, relationship concerns, career difficulties or trauma, I can provide therapy to help frame your thought process in a way that leads you to feeling your best. Sometimes all we need is to be validated in our feelings, other times we need challenges to see things a little differently. My goal is to figure out which works best for you so you are not facing these challenges alone.

Struggle is something that I believe every single living thing experiences. It is a concept that can bring us into some of our hardest moments in life, but it also presents the opportunity to connect, grow, and learn. I believe that confronting our struggles and working through them is one of the most valuable journeys that life brings. We all struggle in different ways and at different times. As a therapist, I hope to be there with you in whatever your struggle may be. I believe in meeting people where they are at and providing comfort, support, and empowerment. I follow a humanistic approach that caters to each individual's needs.

I have 10 years of experience specializing in OCD and anxiety spectrum disorders. I began at the UPMC Pediatric OCD Intensive Program, where I served as a group clinician, working with moderate to severe OCD, and as a family therapist. I honed my expertise in Exposure Response Prevention treatment and addressed systemic family dynamics influenced by OCD. Later, I assumed the Director of Education and Development role at The Center for OCD and Anxiety, dedicating 5 years to crafting a comprehensive curriculum for training and onboarding employees, nurturing their confidence and proficiency in OCD treatment.

The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

Hello! My name is Alicia Luke, LCSW. I am so happy you are here! I honestly feel that "the greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be their most authentic self” - Ralph Waldo Emerson, and I feel that therapy can allow for this to happen if you accept and allow it. I utilize therapy interventions based on an individual's needs and presenting concerns, meeting you where you are at in your life. I believe it is important to understand one's environment and how a person perceives and interacts within it. My intent is to create a safe space for each client to feel heard, supported, and validated.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, it's my goal to help you feel respected and create a safe environment for you to share whatever you need to during therapy. It is my intention to empower you, strengthen your individuality, help to strengthen your belief that you have great worth, and that you can overcome traumatic events and memories. We are more than the thoughts we have that we're ashamed of, we're more than the worst moments of our lives, much more than our mistakes, and in my practice, I respect the courage it takes to be vulnerable, honest, and open to new ways of thinking.

At certain points of our lives, we all experience feelings of anxiety and stress. Our mind becomes overwhelmed and fatigued, which in turn causes our bodies to feel run down. I believe in creating a safe therapeutic atmosphere for you to feel comfortable enough to explore the difficult thoughts and emotions that are a part of human existence. Therapy has the opportunity to create new pathways of growth and healing in your life. I believe we are all on our own individual journey in life. Sometimes we experience painful life circumstances that force us to sit with and feel difficult emotions. Part of my job is to help you find meaning

As your therapist, I can help you identify and walk your unique path: towards your goals, mental wellness, healthy relationships, life-balance, self-understanding and peace and satisfaction. My aim is always to honor you, your experiences and identities without judgement. I make space in our sessions to give authentic support and connection and provide expertise when appropriate: from philosophical soul searching to practical goal setting, with a balance of humor, empathy and psychological/philosophical insights and techniques.
