We believe meaningful change happens when people feel emotionally safe and supported—both within their relationships and within themselves. Our work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment science, guiding clients as they rebuild confidence, heal from disconnection, and rediscover their internal sources of strength. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, trauma, identity challenges, or the pressures of athletic performance, we offer a steady and collaborative space to explore what’s getting in the way and what’s possible next.

Jonah Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice unique is its integrative depth. I specialize in helping both individuals and couples understand the 'why' behind their patterns. Often, the very skills that serve people well professionally—like logic and control—become sources of frustration in their intimate lives, leading to communication breakdown, emotional withdrawal, or a loss of sexual connection. By blending the emotional science of EFT for couples, the deep insight of Psychodynamic Therapy for individuals, and specialized training in Sex Therapy, we work together to build the flexibility and vulnerability needed for true intimacy.

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.

Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Valiant Minds Counseling, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances or struggles, has a valiant mind. Therefore, I believe that each of my clients are the experts of their own life and that my job is to meet each client wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them in order to help facilitate growth and change. In 2004, I graduated from Chatham University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and have since gained extensive experience in the treatment of adult and childhood psychological and neurobehavioral disorders. My sessions predominantly use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, where I help my clients to understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. I also use other psychotherapy techniques that provide comprehensive perspectives to my clients and enhance mind, body such as positive psychology, existentialist philosophy, and mindfulness meditation. My goal is to help my clients broaden their awareness, challenge problematic patterns, learn healthy coping skills, live mindfully and confidently, and seek their unique version of joy. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.

heARTtherapy with Amy
Art Therapist, LAPC, ATR
I believe that play is an important part of self care for all ages. Therapy doesn't have to feel like another fix or to do. It can be playful, enlightening and healing. You do not need to have skills or talent to use art materials for art therapy. It's a form of communication. You will be creating...creating a new, happier, healthier 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.
