Motivational Interviewing (MI)
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.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Throughout our lives, we will all experience times of great joy and sadness, but how many of us really know what to do with those situations emotionally? My approach to therapy is realistic and person-centered. Of course, we want to get to root issues, but first we need to "stop the bleeding" and get our daily lives to a more functional point.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have been carrying a lot on your own, therapy can be a place to slow things down, get clear about what is happening, and start moving forward in a way that feels real and meaningful. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, and my work has included clinical practice, teaching, and published scholarship on trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring that depth into sessions in a practical, down-to-earth way, blending evidence-based tools with thoughtful work around meaning, patterns, and direction. If you are facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or a major life change and want support that is skilled and personal, I would be glad to connect.
