Congruent Relationships Counseling & Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
At Congruent Relationships, we believe that the most exhausting part of life shouldn't be the effort it takes to be "you."
We often move through the world wearing masks—performing for our partners, our families, or our jobs—while our internal reality feels disconnected and unseen. Our practice was founded on a simple but profound principle: congruence. It is the state where your thoughts, feelings, and actions finally align. When that harmony exists, the relationship you have with yourself transforms, and in turn, your relationships with everyone else begin to thrive.
We aren't a "one size fits all" practice. We are a specialized collective of clinicians who believe that therapy is a collaborative, systemic journey.
Here is why clients choose us:
Relationship Experts at Heart: Led by Dr. Nick Summa, our team specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). We don’t just look at individual symptoms; we look at the patterns of connection that shape your life.
A Sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ Community: We are deeply committed to providing identity-affirming care. Whether you are navigating a transition, exploring poly/ENM dynamics, or seeking a space where your identity is celebrated rather than explained, you belong here.
Authenticity: We’ve traded the "blank slate" therapist persona for genuine human connection. Our clinicians show up as their authentic selves so that you feel safe enough to do the same.
Accessible Expertise: With physical offices in Pittsburgh and a robust online therapy platform, we bridge the gap between high-level clinical expertise and the convenience your modern life requires.
We know that finding a therapist can feel like a daunting task. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a low-pressure way to see if our energy matches yours and to ensure you feel a sense of "congruence" from the very first hello.
You deserve to live a life that feels honest. Let’s build it together.

Gottman Method
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
You’re smart, capable, and committed but... your relationship still feels harder than it should. You want to stop having the same old disagreements and feel close again. You long for connection, affection, and ease, but you’re not sure how to get there from here.
That’s where couples therapy can help.
Imagine finally getting unstuck and repairing old hurts. Picture saying things in a way so your partner actually hears you. You CAN build a relationship that feels safe, playful, passionate, and grounded in mutual respect. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the outcome of doing the right kind of work, with the right kind of support.
I work with couples who love each other but are caught in painful cycles. Whether you’re high-achieving professionals with no time for each other, navigating neurodiversity in your relationship, recovering from betrayal, or just longing for more intimacy and connection, I can help. My approach is structured, creative, and grounded in years of experience helping couples rebuild, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible.
You don’t have to settle for a relationship that just “looks good on paper.”

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you are feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns, struggling to adjust to changing circumstances, or finding yourself overwhelmed by the demands of life, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to make meaningful changes.
I'm Dr. Megan Noren, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Maitri Therapy Services. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that understanding our emotions can help us develop a deeper sense of self and create healthier relationships. I strive to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood without judgment and explore the experiences that have shaped who you are.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the mental load that can come with balancing competing demands. I have a particular interest in maternal mental health, including perinatal depression and anxiety and the emotional and identity shifts that accompany parenthood. I also welcome clients exploring questions of identity, self-worth, boundaries, and connection.
In our work together, we'll explore the emotions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and connected. I draw primarily from Emotion-Focused Therapy, with additional approaches tailored to your needs and goals. My hope is to help you develop greater self-compassion, strengthen your relationships, and build the confidence to live in a way that feels more aligned with your values.
Maitri is a Sanskrit word associated with loving-kindness and benevolence. These ideas reflect the heart of my practice: creating space for connection, trust, courage, and compassion as you work toward healing and growth.
You don't have to navigate everything on your own. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Kimberly Dudley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience where you feel seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically, explore life’s challenges honestly, and develop the tools needed to create meaningful change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about relational work. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family I am focused on supporting increased understanding, strengthening relationships, helping my client improve their ability to navigate life’s complexities with confidence. I recognize that many people are carrying unseen burdens while trying to meet the expectations of family, work, relationships, and faith. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain perspective, and move from surviving to thriving.
My faith is an important part of who I am, and for clients who desire it, I enjoy integrating Christian principles into the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through relationship challenges, anxiety, family dynamics, life transitions, or personal growth, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
