Therapists for college students near University of Pittsburgh

My name is Dr. Katy Cording (she/her). I am a Licensed Psychologist and a Certified Group Psychotherapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I worked in college counseling for over a decade and continue to work with many college students in my private practice. I have received extensive training in group therapy over the years and consider this one of my life’s greatest passions. I work with individuals with a broad range of concerns, including but not limited to: Trauma, Attachment, Depression, Anxiety, Relational Concerns, New Parents/Parenting, Pregnancy/Postpartum, Family of Origin Concerns, Grief/Loss, Sexual Assault, Identity Formation, Life Transitions.

"Do you want to simply "survive" in life, or do you want to "thrive" in life? Unfortunately many of us are simply surviving. With over two decades in the field of human services I, along with my dedicated staff have created a space coupled with highly effective treatment approaches to help you to live again! We offer services to those who need to heal from: depression, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, trauma, and grief and loss. When we rid our lives of these "toxins", we make room to begin a life journey that we never thought was possible! My commitment is to work with individuals by helping them live to their fullest potential by way of providing support, encouragement and empowerment. My work is strength based in order to build a solid treatment foundation. (i.e. Instead of what's "wrong" with you, what's "right" with you?) A Journey to You offers a space that is conveniently located, has plenty of free parking, and is wheelchair accessible. The environment is quiet, comfortable and tastefully decorated, providing a place where individuals can feel a level of safety and contentment in which to work.

Going through changes is often an uncomfortable experience. In order to grow, pushing through our comfort zone is inevitable. When the future is unknown, we may freeze, experiencing heightened stress, anxiety, or depression. Through your counseling journey, Chelsey believes building trust and a healthy therapeutic alliance are key in becoming the best version of yourself.

In addition, she is passionate in working with individuals in recovery from substance use disorders to address their co-occurring needs. Chelsey offers individual therapy sessions for those over the age of 16 both in person in Greensburg and virtually in Pennsylvania. Asking for help can be difficult, it truly shows the strength you have. Together, we will identify those strengths and work towards creating positive change in your daily life. Chelsey will support you each step of the journey towards creating the best version of yourself.

My style of therapy is very laid back, as I believe comfort is the most important part of the therapy process. In order to discuss difficult topics or begin to work towards goals, there has to be a strong therapeutic relationship. I begin to build this relationship by getting to know my client's personalities, family structure, work life, friendships, etc. Once I get to know you, I can better understand patterns, coping skills, and/or emotions that may be occurring in response to stressors. I also am very client-centered and will tailor the therapy process around what is best for each client. Everyone is different and that means that therapy will look different for each person.

Many of the students I work with are kind, hardworking, and thoughtful—but they’re also exhausted. They often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like they’re constantly falling behind no matter how hard they try. Some struggle with focus, motivation, or staying organized—especially those dealing with ADHD symptoms like mental fog, procrastination, or racing thoughts that make it hard to relax or keep up with school. Others are managing perfectionism, body image concerns, trauma, or health issues that are hard to talk about with friends or family. If you’re feeling burned out, stuck, or like your emotions are too much to handle on your own, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I offer a supportive space where we can sort through what’s going on and help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable. Sessions are fully virtual for Pennsylvania residents, and I offer flexible scheduling, accept several insurance plans, and provide sliding scale options to keep therapy accessible.

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.

I provide comprehensive treatment for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD and various other mental health conditions. Psychiatry is a unique field in medical practice and listening to our patients is the key to understanding their needs. We aim to understand you, not just medicate you. The primary focus is on adults between the ages of 20 and 60 who are motivated to make healthy changes in their life, to learn about their condition and to grow in the process. Although medications do play a central role sessions often involve a deeper exploration of the patient's life issues that may be playing a key role. The focus is patient centered mental health. Several conditions are beyond the scope of our practice. Patients with eating disorders, psychosis, body image distortions, gender dysphoria and substance use issues are often referred to more specialized centers. Parenting or custody evaluations are also outsourced as are disability evaluations. I do not participate with any third party insurance carriers. Payment for appointments is expected at the session. The 90 min evaluation is $250, follow-ups are $150. Most forms of payment are accepted. The frequency of appointments varies depending on the complexity of the presentation and patient needs.

Life can be hard. Relationships can be hard. Transitions and unexpected changes in life can throw you off balance. When you are feeling, sad, worried, scared or uncertain and wondering what the future holds, you may become overly distressed. If you want to learn how to understand yourself better and cope more effectively with the challenges of life, let's talk. I would love to connect with you!

Hello and thank you for reading my bio. I am a clinician who values helping people uncover things about themselves and helping people realize that there is always hope for a fulfilling life. I work with people who have many different problems they may be facing. I mainly work with individuals with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma etc. Oftentimes, I will work with people who have a combination of these. Whether you have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, have experienced trauma or an eating disorder etc. I can help you manage these things while you are in college. College can be stressful all on its own and it is important to make time for our mental health through this. I know, therapy can be scary for many people and that is why I work to create a warm environment for everyone. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative relationship, which is why you and I will work together to find the best treatment approach for you.

Hi there! I am Dr. Stacy Vance. I am a licensed psychologist who provides virtual counseling and sport psychology services to students and athletes across the US. I have a passion for supporting young adults as they navigate the beauty and challenges of college life. Whether you are looking for help with managing stress/anxiety, identity development, relationships concerns or interested in improving performance or enhancing your mental well-being, I am here to support you on your journey. At the heart of my practice lies a deep appreciation for the lived experiences of others. Gaining awareness into internal experiences and the patterns that keep one stuck facilitates insight, growth, and change. Using empathy, humor, collaboration, and curiosity I aim to support your goals while tailoring the therapeutic "process" to your needs. When you are ready, feel free to reach out. I would welcome the opportunity to chat!

If you are the person, everyone turns to, who do YOU turn to? You give everything to everyone else but never have time for you. It gets tiring always being the ''strong'' one. I see you. You might be struggling to get through the day or question yourself and your worth. This can look like anxiety, depression, problems recovering from a traumatic experience as an adult or as a child. I want to help you know what you DESERVE. Find the life you want and be more in control of your thoughts, emotions, and choices. Let's look inward and do this difficult but deeply important and rewarding work together. Currently, I can see clients who reside in Pennsylvania, California and North Carolina.

Do you feel held back by fear and anxiety? Do the "what ifs" or the memories of how things went wrong haunt you to the point of inaction? If so, I can help; I work with young adults to help them overcome their anxiety and past trauma to get unstuck and live their lives to the fullest. I try to balance meeting you where you are, and teaching you skills that will change behavior patterns that are no longer working for you. Therapy should be more than just "venting;" I believe it should be an active process of learning and change. If you want a therapy experience that is structured and goal-oriented, we may be a good fit. I enjoy and welcome working with students of all backgrounds, including the LGTBQIAA community. I would be happy to speak with you to see if we can become partners in your recovery journey!

My favorite part of helping people is collaborating with my clients. I work together with students to help them reach their goals, get some relief and learn new ways to cope. As a licensed professional counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor, my approach is both nurturing and strengths-based. I believe that every person is unique and has the ability to cope and heal. As your therapist, I will help you strategize to develop treatment goals and offer warm support as we get you there. In doing so, I primarily use IFS (Internal Family Systems- I’m Level 2-trained), but my approach can also be eclectic. I support people with anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem issues, family conflict, substance use disorders, OCD, trauma and so much more. I am non-judgmental, supportive and have a gentle style. If you would like to hear more about my approach and to discuss whether we can work together, I’d love to hear from you.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Are you struggling with your self-confidence? Would you like to work on more effective communication? I am here to help! My approach to therapy involves creating a safe, warm, comfortable environment. In my practice I treat anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, and relationship issues. My role as a therapist is to help you learn the tools for a less stressed, happier, more confident you.

We’re glad that you’re here! We understand that for many, reaching out is a difficult thing. Know that in doing so, you are one step closer to experiencing the benefits that therapy can offer. We focus on individualized care designed to help you manage stress, anxiety and mood, improve your relationships, and navigate life changes.

Please call or email to schedule an initial consultation call.

Life is full of transitions. Changes can often bring unforeseen challenges. Balancing life- children, family, work, school– we often have expectations for ourselves and of others that we struggle to meet, leaving a feeling of being alone, without focus, and overwhelmed. I will help you explore these issues and whatever else is on your mind. We’ll work together to find joy in relationships, find meaning in activities, and regain control in the navigation of life.

I specialize in working with adolescents, families, and adults. My clinical interests include, but are not limited to, working with anxiety, depression, trauma and LGBTQ-related concerns. I have advanced training in the Cognitive Processing Therapy trauma-focused approach. I began my clinical career in mental health in 2001, and have worked in mental health outpatient settings since 2009. I have experience in child welfare, and have held positions including adjunct professor, clinical director, and other administrative roles. My approach is individualized and tailored to the person I am working with. I believe in being supportive and patient, as therapy should not feel stringent or rushed.

Life is hard. Wherever you are currently, our guess is it’s not exactly the way you had envisioned it when you were a kid. Some of that is because of our own choices and mistakes; other parts are from bad hands we were dealt along the way. Regardless of how you got here, we know one thing to be true: You want your life to be different than it is right now. The problem is how to make that happen. There is an endless number of opinions on what you should do and, if we’re honest, it can be overwhelming trying to decide which route is best for you. We believe counseling is a great place to start. In fact, since 2018, we’ve helped more than 1,000 people go from barely getting by to having the tools they need to experience life in a different way than before. While the idea of counseling might be scary, we know how hard life can be and believe you shouldn’t have to face your problems alone. At Lime Tree, we match you with a therapist who is right for you and what you’re dealing with. From there, you and your counselor will create goals for your time together and you will get a personalized plan as you move forward. We walk with you through the entire process with quality and compassionate care the whole way. Getting started is easy: simply reach out on our website or through a phone call. Our Client Care Coordinator will work with you to get you matched with the right therapist and schedule your first session. It’s not healthy to do life alone. Reach out today so you can get unstuck, enjoy the day-to-day, and begin to thrive in life.
