The Office

We're located between the East Liberty and Shadyside neighborhoods in Pittsburgh while also offering telehealth services across Pennsylvania. We share a physical space with Pittsburgh Art Therapy & Counseling and proudly partner with the owner Kristen Watt, ATR-BC, LPC.

Primary Therapeutic Approaches

Trauma Focused

This approach recognizes that you're more than your symptoms. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that have shaped you, gently process trauma and its impact, strengthen emotional regulation, and help you build a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Relational

Our relationships shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. At the heart of this approach is the therapeutic relationship—a safe, authentic space for healing and growth. Together, we'll explore how past experiences have influenced your relationship patterns and help you build healthier, more fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive arts therapy uses creativity as a pathway to healing and self-discovery. Through art, movement, music, writing, and other creative practices, we'll explore thoughts and emotions in ways that don't always require words, fostering self-awareness, connection, and personal growth.

EMDR

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process difficult experiences that may still be affecting you today. Using guided eye movements, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation, we'll help reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories so they feel less overwhelming, creating space for healing and lasting change.
