Our therapists offer EMDR therapy in Pittsburgh, PA

I am a licensed professional counselor with three years of experience. I earned my Master of Arts from Franciscan University of Steubenville and have specialized training in CBT, ACT, solution-focused brief therapy, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care. I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, and trauma. Whether navigating a specific crisis or pursuing personal growth, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to achieve their goals.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I draw primarily from CBT, helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills. Together, we'll work to build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful progress toward your goals.

Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out is often the first step toward meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience working in various inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, career challenges, substance abuse issues, and grief and loss. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

I have my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I hope to provide my clients with a warm and safe atmosphere to tell their story and give them a chance to open the door to a new world of healing. When you are ready to begin, I look forward to seeing you at our first appointment!

My name is Nicole Lyman (she/they). I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience working with young adults, adults, and seniors. I seek to explore strengths and personalized goals to cope more effectively with life's challenges as well as move towards resilience and growth. My ideal clients experience a range of issues, often rooted in chronic stress or trauma, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, relationships, self-esteem, or grief. I also have experience working with clients identifying as LGBTQIA+ and individuals on the autism spectrum.

I have a background in mindfulness, trauma-informed, and social justice approaches meaning you can expect focus on exploring a wholistic view of yourself and presenting concerns. Collaboratively, I support clients defining what growth and resilience mean to them and building towards meaningful engagement with life and improved sense of one's own strengths. 

The first step in growth is accepting the need for change. Therapy is a place to reflect on ourselves and our complex identities, experiences, and goals.
