Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience helping clients make sustainable change for the better. With extensive training in motivational interviewing, I help clients explore and understand the impact behaviors like substance use, overeating, and others are having on their well-being, and guide them in making an individualized plan for change. Taking into account your life context and environment, we'll work together to address underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression in order to reduce unwanted behaviors and develop coping strategies that work without causing their own problems.

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.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.
