Autism Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

I work from strengths-based, trauma-informed, person-centered, and Feminist perspectives. I'm LGBTQIA+, sex, and body positive and neurodivergent affirming. I have experience working with people who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, emotional abuse and neglect. I use DBT, CBT, MI, and EMDR. I believe that, since every client is different, they each require a different approach. Nothing cookie cookie cutter here! My approach uses a lot of laughter, really connecting with the client on a personal level, using lots of validation, and comes from a place that each client is the expert on themselves.

Humans are complicated and complex beings. You may be facing a new path in life that feels daunting or unmanageable. Maybe your routine has stayed the same, but other areas of your life are bringing you down. In any scenario, therapy can provide opportunities for reflection on your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach to counseling is collaborative. As the client, you are the expert of your life and your experiences. As a counselor, I am here to help untangle the parts of your life which may feel cluttered or distressing. I aim to acknowledge past experiences, present stressors, and concern for the future.

I have worked in a multitude of different settings including inpatient hospitalization, residential, in-home, school, and outpatient, which provide valuable experience. No matter the setting, I prides myself in rapport building and finding the motivation in the client and family to make necessary changes. In addition to being a licensed professional counselor, I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and looks for behavioral change to be the forefront of treatment.

In serving clients who may be part of the Autistic, ADHD, LGBTQ+, and/or military communities, I've seen first hand that the diversity of human experience leads to ingenuity. I work to provide an accepting, supportive, and creative space for clients to communicate their story and discover their own path forward. Together, we can explore the narrative that defines the personal, professional, and social aspects of your life, navigating intersections between lived experiences and identities. I help you to see your patterns of success and both recognize and utilize the expertise you already hold within yourself.

Healing from trauma, processing shame, and building self-confidence is a journey I'd be honored to join you on. I view therapy as a collaborative, relational process. My job is to facilitate the co-creation of a safe space together, in which I help you to connect with yourself in new ways. Who you are, your history, and your week-to-week needs inform the pacing, flow, and style of our sessions while I offer structure and information as needed. Our process will likely include connecting with internal resources to stabilize daily life, engaging in deep processing of traumas and wounding, and integrating new learning into self-concept.

Life can be unpredictable, difficult, and even painful at times. When you find yourself overwhelmed by not just everyday responsibilities, thoughts, and choices, but also with past traumas, finding help can feel like an impossible task. As a counselor, I am here not only to help you detangle your current thoughts and feelings, but also to help you understand your life journey and how you have grown into the person you are today. Regardless of how, when, or why you have found your way into a therapeutic space, my goal is to help you to tackle issues that are causing you to feel as though you are living inauthentically.

Are you ready for a change that can improve your overall quality of life? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, life transitions or struggling to make it through each day can feel exhausting. I understand the importance of being heard so that you can heal, continue to learn and grow, and live your best life. As your therapist, we will embark on a journey of honest discussions and meaningful conversations to help you with your goals towards wellness and living the quality life you desire moving forward. My approach is conversational, supportive, and open. I offer affordable HIPAA secure Telehealth services.

I believe that everyone has the potential to live the life that they want to live and make the necessary changes to get them there. It is often helpful to have a guiding and caring therapist by your side. I strive to support individuals experiencing depression or anxiety, or those feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation to change, or struggling with interpersonal difficulties.

Hi, I’m Sarah. If you’re here, you might be looking for some support. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by depression, struggling with anxiety, adjusting to new parenthood, or finding parenting more challenging than expected, I’m here to help.

Hi! I'm Fai (/fay/). I believe that our experiences in society aren't one-size-fits-all, nor should our therapy be. I aim to support those impacted by queerphobia, racism, ableism, fatphobia, adoption, and other oppressive systems which contribute to mental health difficulties, poor self-regard, and complex trauma. Together, I hope we can challenge negative core beliefs, deconstruct the experiences that led to their development, and cultivate an authentic, compassionate sense of self.
