Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I know from experience the toll that stress and burnout can take on your well-being, and how difficult it can be to even imagine realistic change. If you're feeling burned out, we'll take a step back and look at your values - the important parts of your life that bring you meaning. Then we'll examine where there might be a mismatch and find areas where there might be potential for change. This could involve increasing your engagement in other activities that fulfill you, removing yourself from a situation or environment that depletes you, strategically engaging with your support network, or other strategies that fit your personal experience. I don't take big decisions lightly, and if considering a major change we'll check in throughout to ensure the steps you're taking are value-consistent and take into account the full context of your needs.

Dr. Qatana Samanen
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I help my clients learn stress management habits to effectively manage their stress.
Together we identify the sources of stress in your life, both external and internal. You then pinpoint which of your external stressors can be reduced or eliminated and we develop plans to achieve that.
You actually have much more control over the thoughts and feelings that contribute to your stress than you do the external stressors. We first identify these attitudes and beliefs. We then develop strategies you can use to challenge these habitual ways of thinking and transform them into more positive beliefs. As you learn to substitute positive patterns of thinking for the belief systems that created stress, you enjoy a calmer and more satisfying life.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Chronic stress in men often shows up as anger, anxiety, sleep disruption, or compulsive coping rather than conscious overwhelm. I help men whose nervous systems stay stuck in high gear due to pressure, trauma, or unrealistic internal demands. Therapy focuses on restoring regulation and control so stress no longer dictates behavior or relationships.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
We all have stress. And, stress does not cause anything. Stress exasperates what is already there or what we are predisposed to. My job is to teach you skills that help you mediate stress in your lives so that it does not damage your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual health. Stress can be both positive (ex. getting married, buying a house), or negative (ex. losing one's job, being diagnosed with cancer).

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress can overwhelm both body and mind, leaving clients feeling reactive, depleted, or shut down. I help clients understand how stress cycles work in the nervous system and how to move through them rather than stay stuck in overdrive. My approach draws on IFS, mindfulness, somatic awareness, relaxation training, and experiential techniques to calm the body, regulate emotion, and create sustainable coping strategies. Attachment and narrative perspectives further support reframing meaning and building long-term resilience. I also provide diagnostic assessment and clarity to distinguish stress from underlying anxiety or mood disorders.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Change is stress and when stress becomes overwhelming, it inhibits change. It's a difficult cycle and not getting stuck in it requires skills to lessen your stress and improve coping so that the changes you are seeking, or the changes being asked of or put upon you, don't attack at your confidence and understanding of yourself.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
