heARTtherapy with Amy
Art Therapist, LAPC, ATR
Art materials can be a valuable tool for releasing anxiety and fears. Putting them down on the canvas or paper also creates a mirror to look at them in a safer more playful way. Art therapy can provide a way to gain control over difficult emotions and make space for positive emotions like peace and joy and happiness.

Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Anxiety can show up even when life looks “fine” on the outside—racing thoughts, a body that won’t settle, or that constant sense that something might go wrong. Whether it’s performance anxiety before a big run, generalized worry that drains your energy, or anxiety tied to past trauma, I help clients understand where it comes from and how it’s trying (sometimes unhelpfully) to protect you.
Together we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in your life, including the ways it might be holding you back—or even pushing you forward—and develop practical tools to calm your nervous system, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and respond differently. Using CBT, DBT skills (like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and grounding), and ACT, we focus on real-world strategies that fit your lifestyle—especially if you’re an endurance athlete balancing training, recovery, and everyday demands.
Many clients leave sessions with:
A clearer understanding of their anxiety patterns.
Personalized coping tools they can use immediately (breathing techniques, worry time, self-soothe skills, and more).
Greater confidence in handling uncertainty and setbacks.
Renewed energy to move toward the life (and the finish lines) they want.
I also share downloadable resources and worksheets from my practice that we can review together. If anxiety has been running the show, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work on strategies that help you feel calmer, stronger, and more in control—on the trail and off.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Anxiety and fears are a natural part of life. When these tendencies become so extreme to the point of paralyzing someone's ability to participate in a safe and secure situation due to the negative feelings associated, it may be time for the person experiencing these symptoms to seek additional help, support, and / or advisement. Assistance is available! Living with anxiety and fear without a rational or just cause (rational concern vs. perceived threat and danger not based on an accurate assessment or analysis) is not healthy for the person experiencing these states nor the people around them and can lead to a number of potentially preventable problems for everyone involved. Individuals who feel threatened without a due cause often are suffering from and affected by a number of states of "(di)stress", "dis-ease", and/or "dis-order" based on conditions going on in their lives. Help and support is available. Individuals engaging in conduct leading to these sorts of issues will also typically require professional treatment. When these individuals refuse to receive the tx they do need, they can present as a danger to themselves and to others. I have both professional and personal experience dealing with these matters especially at this point in my life. Research-based strategies can be employed to help desensitize victims paralyzed by distress, anxiety and fear as well as used to help victims cope directly with the perpetrators, while simultaneously mitigating the effects of those engaging in the abusive conduct until a resolution is reached or can otherwise be employed. Often this behavior, while invisible to some, has been brought about by individuals who have failed to receive the help and support they need, choosing instead to divert, deflect, and take responsibility, thus perpetuating these cycles of toxic energy and abuse which do not serve anyone or do anyone any good "communicable/ contagious states of "dis-ease" in other words. Learn to inoculate and immunize. Denial is a very natural, yet potentially dangerous stage to any healing pathway. Working with those coping with their own shame, guilt, and other negative feelings/ embarrassment, as well as fears for taking responsibility can also be a part of therapy sessions. Learn to heal (your healing is not contingent upon anyone doing anything differently except you). When you change, the people around you have an opportunity to change. Likewise, ways to overcome those feelings of "dis-ease" brought about by a lack of respect for personal boundaries, unhealthy work and / or personal environments. The ways people treat one another can be targeted during therapy sessions so healthier relationships and forms of communication can be cultivated. Teaching desensitization and tolerance can be helpful, however it is also important to teach individuals they have a right to say no and leave any situation which does not feel comfortable or safe for them. Learning about boundaries, how to protect your own boundaries, as well as how to help ensure others are afforded and treated with the same levels of dignity, care, and respect you would wish for in your own life is a part of any psycho-educational programming grounded in truth. Teaching respect for boundaries can be taught during sessions. Not everyone has had training to understand not only the effects boundary awareness or lack thereof can have on individuals subjected to the effects of their lack of awareness and knowledge, but they may not be fully aware of the legal aspects either. Teaching character development skills as well as prosocial behaviors is a very intelligent idea for so many important reasons. "Free will" does not mean immunity from consequences of the free will choices others may choose to make. Learn to leave anxiety and fears behind you.

Lauren Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
“I should have known better” “I’m never good enough.” “What’s wrong with me?”
Does this sound like you? People who experience anxiety and depression can have negative self-talk and overly high expectations of self that can impact quality of life. Therapy is a welcoming environment to work on identify these messages and build the ability to separate the thought from the belief as well as challenging the stories we tell ourselves. Once you are able to see that the core beliefs you feel are inaccurate, you are more equipped to rewrite the narrative you have been carrying for many years.

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.
