Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
What makes my therapy practice unique is the genuine care, compassion, and connection I bring to each client. I strive to create a space where people feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, helping clients feel supported while working through anxiety, stress, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I work with adults of all ages, including college students, young adults, and individuals navigating career changes or uncertain seasons of life. I tailor therapy to each person’s individual needs and goals using evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming practices rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Above all, I want clients to feel understood, supported, and reminded that they do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

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.

At Hope Stream Counseling, we believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and deeply supportive. We provide trauma-informed care for individuals navigating challenges like ADHD, complex trauma, burnout, and overwhelming life stress.

Our approach is warm, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based methods, including EMDR and other trauma-informed therapies. We focus on helping you build practical tools, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself at a pace that feels right for you.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Healing is possible, and there is hope.

Karolina Lazarov
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LBC, NCC, PMH-C
Are you stuck in feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, tired, or stressed out? I work with young women, moms, and moms-to-be facing many different challenges throughout their lives. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or you are new to this, you are here because you need time and space to reconnect with yourself, to find answers to your struggles and to create a more balanced life where you and your well-being are a priority. Supporting you in this journey is the end goal of my entire practice.
I work with women who want to uncover their strengths, build up their resilience, learn healthy coping strategies and discover what’s holding them back from becoming their best selves. Together we will explore your feelings, thoughts, emotions, and challenges and help you build the kind of life, motherhood, career, and relationships that you want.
Whenever you are ready to start, I am here for you. You will leave our sessions feeling validated, empowered, and stronger knowing that you have a plan and concrete strategies to use in your daily life. I know that starting therapy is not easy but together we can make it work! Call me for a free consultation and take the first step to feeling better.
