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.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning to continue the work you started, something brought you to this search today. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, even if it isn't your first time. I believe that the foundation of counseling is the therapeutic relationship created between the therapist and client: we are creating a team, and that requires trust, transparency, and feeling safe. It will be my goal to meet you where you're at and work at your pace, while also pushing you to meet the goals you outline for your treatment. I understand that whatever has brought you here is deeply personal and sensitive, and I vow to treat our counseling space with honor and respect. Feel free to reach out to me through email or phone call and we can set up a time to have a free consultation to see if we would be a good match to work together.
