Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Depression is not only a by-product of what is going on or is not going on in someone's life, but can also become chemical in nature. Anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand. I have worked with many clients experiencing symptoms associated with Depression. Efforts to create lifestyle changes are made as well as to increase the "doses" of access to healthy self-care routines, including more time with preferred persons, as appropriate, activities, & events, while simultaneously lessening demands and avoiding other triggers often involved in treating depression as well as preventing it. Simple lifestyle changes, when employed consistently, overtime, can also help improve emotional states, moods, and lead to an overall healthier outlook on life. Enhancing states of mind, "mindsets", and ways of looking at the world and others can be achieved in many ways, including the inclusion of spiritual advisors and God.

Depression
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Depression can make even the things you love—like running—feel heavy, pointless, or exhausting. You might wake up drained before the day begins, struggle with motivation on training runs, lose interest in races or goals that once excited you, or carry a quiet sense that nothing matters as much anymore. Whether it’s persistent low mood, fatigue that rest doesn’t fix, feelings of worthlessness, or the “why bother?” spiral that hits after setbacks like injury or DNFs, depression steals energy, joy, and forward momentum.
In our sessions, we work together to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently rebuild a sense of purpose and possibility. Using CBT to shift unhelpful thought patterns, ACT to reconnect with your values, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and movement-informed strategies (including how running and exercise can support brain health and mood), we create practical tools that fit your life as an athlete.
Many clients notice meaningful changes such as:
Increased energy and motivation to get back out on the trails.
A kinder inner voice that celebrates small wins instead of criticizing.
Better ability to manage low days without spiraling.
Renewed sense of meaning, self-worth, and direction in both running and daily life.
Improved consistency with self-care, training, and the things that matter most.
I also share helpful resources like the Self-Care Assessment and tools for building healthy routines that we can personalize together.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the fog. Depression is treatable, and even small steps can lead to feeling like yourself again—stronger, more hopeful, and ready to finish stronger. If you’re ready to start moving forward, I’d be honored to walk (and run) alongside you.

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.
