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.

Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
After teaching in the classroom for several years, I completed my graduate degree programming in both Clinical & Counseling Psychology in 2005 (graduating in 2006), with a special concentration in Addictions Counseling. I went on to obtain additional, advanced degrees and training in Education, Special Services, Behavior Analysis (Behavioral Health, Acceptance and Commitment Training, Addiction, Applied Animal Behavior, Autism, Behavior Analysis and Technology, Behavior Analysis and the Arts, Behavior Analysis for Sustainable Societies, Behavior Analysis in Health, Sports, and Fitness, Behavior Analysis in Military and Veterans' Issues, Behavioral Development, Behavioral Gerontology, Behavioral Medicine, Behavioral Approaches for Social Responsibility, Clinical Applications, Trauma, Crime, Delinquency, and Forensic Behavior Analysis, Culture and Diversity, Dissemination of Behavior Analysis, Ethics and Behavior Analysis, Experimental Analysis of Human Behavior, Gambling, History of Behavior Analysis, Mental Health, Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention, Neuroscience, Open Educational Resources, Organizational Behavior Management / Industrial Psychology, Pediatric Feeding Disorders, Positive Behavior Supports, including School-Wide Positive Behavioral Supports, Functional Analysis and Functional Behavioral Assessment, Verbal Behavior, Practitioner Issues in Behavior Analysis, Rehabilitation and Independent Living, Sexual Behavior: Research and Practice, Speech Pathology (Techniques and Approaches when working with analysts and clinicians in co-treat models), The Standard Celeration Society, Teaching Behavior Analysis, Supervision, Theoretical, Philosophical, and Conceptual Issues, and the list goes on. I have also completed advanced Practitioner training in a number of alternative medicine/ healing modalities. I have worked with clients at all stages of life, both internationally, and nationally, across the continuum of traditionally defined mental-behavioral health care & educational settings (including higher education), as well as other settings (community based, center-based, prisons, juvenile detention centers, homes, courts, etc.). At the present time, I am accepting clients on a case-by-case basis at my local, part-time, private practice online, only. My concentration and focus has shifted considerably in terms of the scope of services I am currently providing, privately. If you are looking for other services, in the public sectors, I would continue to recommend you search / use alternate designated contacts via the certification, licensing boards, and other directories/ forums which include currently available providers and groups. I will continue to look forward to working with each and everyone of my clients on an individualized/ personalized basis. The focus of my private practice will continue to work together to integrate practices from a variety of professional discipline areas with which I worked for 20 + years, formally and professionally in the public and private sectors, in addition to the additional learning acquisition I was able to achieve through recent, personal relevatory experiences with the sincere goal of helping others lead a more balanced life.

Narrative Therapy
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The men I work with usually feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected from themselves and the people around them. They’re tired of dealing with the same patterns, and if we’re being honest, they’re pretty hard on themselves for it too. You’ve probably had that moment of “I’m not doing this again”… and then somehow you’re right back there.
A lot of what’s underneath that is trauma, anxiety, guilt, or habits that don’t change no matter how much effort you put in.
My job is to help you actually understand what’s going on, not just slap a label on it, and then use evidence-based trauma therapy to help you do something about it. This isn’t just talking. It’s learning a set of skills that helps you get unstuck and move differently.
Progress starts to look like having more control over your reactions, feeling less on edge, and not getting pulled into the same mental loops over and over. Instead of constantly reacting, you’re able to step back and respond in a way that actually lines up with who you want to be.
Sessions with me are direct, collaborative, and grounded. You don’t need the perfect words or a full explanation of everything that’s happened to get started. We focus on what works so you can get your life back.
