Therapists for college students near Pittsburgh, PA

Hi, I'm Michele! Many people I see move from: * anxious and/or worried to calm and reassured * feeling less than to feeling enough and worthy * insecure to confident I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, trauma, performance improvement and life’s challenges. I specialize in EMDR, Brainspotting, and integrative approaches that address the root of your struggles, helping you move toward lasting change. Seeking therapy can be a big step, so I'm here to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Whether you’re looking for practical coping strategies or deeper healing, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. I have 25 years of clinical experience gained from private practice, Johns Hopkins Hospital/University & Gettysburg College. To learn more, I offer a free 15 minute consultation. Please feel free to send me an email with questions. I'd love to hear from you.

Jude is a master’s level clinician, nationally certified and a licensed Professional Counselor. He is also a certified EMDR clinician specializing in helping and supporting adults with symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma-related challenges. His approach is simple: “making humans feel humane”. He utilizes evidence-based interventions like person-centered approaches, CBT and OARS among others to make healing a holistic approach while bringing meaning to every encounter. By focusing on the whole person, rather than just their symptoms, Okeke ensures that clients receive comprehensive care that addresses their physical, emotional, and psychological needs. This holistic approach fosters long-term well-being and helps individuals build resilience against future challenges. It also allows for more personalized treatment plans.

Understanding that our experiences are shaped by the environments we live in—our communities, culture, and relationships—I take a trauma-informed and relational approach to therapy. My work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel seen, safe, and connected. I aim to create a space where you can explore your emotions, express yourself freely, and begin to reconnect with your body and sense of self. As an art therapist, I believe creativity can be a powerful pathway to understanding and transformation. In our sessions, we might use artmaking, mindfulness, or gentle somatic practices to help you express what words can’t always capture. These creative tools can support regulation, insight, and a deeper connection to your inner world. My practice integrates mindfulness, person-centered, and feminist frameworks, and I work collaboratively with each client to find what feels most supportive. I specialize in working with anxiety, life transitions, women’s issues, and LGBTQ+ concerns, and I strive to provide an affirming space where all identities and experiences are honored. I see therapy as a collaborative and compassionate process—one where we explore not just what feels painful, but also what brings meaning, resilience, and joy. My goal is to help you cultivate a sense of internal safety and confidence as you move toward a more grounded, authentic version of yourself. Outside of my work as a therapist, I find joy in thrifting and antiquing, or getting lost in a good fantasy novel alongside my two cats, Cricket and Jerry. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be honored to connect and support you on your healing journey.

At Terra Firma, our mission is also our greatest passion: to help you recognize how awesome you really are, and that you’re capable of anything you put your mind to! We want to help you evolve into the version of you who feels seen, heard, and understood; the one who feels confident, happy, and whole. We know that there are times where it feels like there’s absolutely no way that’s ever going to happen, because you’re just not the kind of person who’s capable of feeling better. But you absolutely can and we're here to help you get there! What makes our practice a little different is that we approach each client with the understanding that people do not fit neatly inside little boxes. Your relationships, career, hobbies, diet and exercise, spiritual beliefs, etc. etc. are all interacting to create the current version of you. In our holistic therapy approach, we shirk the mindset that you are a narrow range of symptoms to be treated, and instead look at you as a whole person. Our approach is built on empathy and compassion, and is designed to arm you with the wellness tools needed to help you tackle the various battles you may be facing along your holistic journey to happiness.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Life’s challenges—whether it’s managing anxiety, navigating depression, dealing with stress, or improving relationships—can feel overwhelming. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe in meeting you where you are, creating a space where you can be truly heard, and supporting you as you take steps toward becoming the best version of yourself. I work from a holistic perspective, recognizing that mental, emotional, and physical well-being are deeply interconnected. Whether we’re addressing current life stressors or exploring deeper patterns from the past, my goal is to help you understand and transform what is no longer serving you. Together, we will build the skills and insights you need to manage anxiety, heal from depression, and create more fulfilling relationships. With a person-centered, strength-based approach, I draw from various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. Each session is designed to empower you with practical tools to cope with life’s challenges, while fostering self-compassion and resilience. If you’re ready to begin this journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

As a young adult, you often wonder what can be done to help yourself feel better. You have tried many things yet there has been little to no lasting improvement. Your personality has changed, you have challenges with relationships, their interests have decreased and you worry that things might get worse. You know that you have great potential to do great things but the way things are going, your future looks bleak. Seeking help can be scary, because you want to make sure that you have someone but feel scared about taking the risk of letting anyone in. Imagine what it would feel like not to constantly worry about so many things all of the time and feel confident about making decisions about everyday tasks. You would feel better about yourself and your ability to handle difficult situations that arise. In order to accommodate your schedule, I offer evening and weekend appointments so you don't have to worry about missing school. Together, we'll create a customized plan to get you back on track. Call my office to learn more and schedule your free consultation today. Make a change today!

The world we live in is complicated and ever-changing, and the patterns we develop to address the challenges of life often cease to work for us...in fact, no strategy for living, relating to others, or to ourselves can ever work optimally forever. A depression, a personal life crisis, marital upsets and family conflicts are painful but often signal an important opportunity for self-reflection, assessment of "where I've been" in life, and the chance to create a new pathway for moving forward. This is where an expert therapist can be of value. When I work with a client, I listen to both the words of their story and also the feelings within the words. Often people have never felt free and safe to truly express themselves, to share a painful life event. Therapy can provide that opportunity. FaceTime and Skype sessions...I've been doing them for some time now. It's a great way to have an appointment when you can't get to the office, and it's also an ideal way to begin therapy and determine if I'm the right therapist for you.

I am an EMDR therapist and utilize other techniques such as CBT, Family Systems, and other trauma focused therapies.

College is an exciting time, but it can also bring its fair share of stress, uncertainty, and challenges.

These feelings are completely valid, and you don’t have to face them alone. I specialize in somatic approaches to therapy, which help bridge the connection between your mind and body. This work supports you in building a sense of psychological safety from within, leading to greater confidence, emotional regulation, happiness, and self-assurance. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. In therapy with me, we’ll take the time to explore your unique needs. I’ll bring empathy, patience, and affirmation into our work, and we’ll collaborate on equipping you with tools to achieve your goals. Whether you’re navigating emotional ups and downs, seeking clarity about your future, or simply needing a space to process everything, I’m here to walk with you on this journey. If you’re new to therapy, I understand it can feel like a big step. I’m happy to answer your questions and help you feel comfortable with the process. Reaching out is an act of courage, and I’m here to meet you where you are. Let’s work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.

Hello students! I know what it’s like to be you. I received both my undergraduate degree in Sociology and Master of Social Work degree from WCU. I enjoy helping people of all ages, particularly young adults, who want to address parts of themselves that are limiting their full potential. You know something doesn’t feel right but you aren’t quite sure; or maybe you know what’s wrong and want to make change but are afraid of what that might look like. I provide a safe, comfortable, and empowering space for those willing to explore.

This includes sexual/relationship violence, family of origin challenges (including ACOA issues), and childhood abuse and neglect. This also includes supporting young adults in understanding their own attachment patterns and gaining insight into their patterns in order to increase their ability to find, seek out, and maintain healthy relationships. We offer EMDR and many other trauma modalities.

I have an eclectic background of professional experience! I started out working in field of substance abuse, then went into hospital social work, which led me to home hospice work. I did some home-based services with children and families, and then landed in private practice where I feel very grateful for what I get to do as a therapist! I have several years experience counseling at a small liberal arts college with college students with many different presenting issues., such as first gen issues, anxiety, stress, ADHD, over-drinking, family conflicts, relationship struggles, and depression, to name a few. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which has now become my therapeutic intervention of choice! I use a holistic approach considering mind, body, and spirit in all aspects of the treatment approach. I do often offer groups called Processing Pain, a spiritual formation group, as well as a healthy weight loss/self esteem group! I do offer a non-denominational, Christian-based approach to students with whom this is important to.
