Individual Therapy in Pittsburgh — And Beyond

Compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults — tailored to you, available in-person in Aspinwall and via telehealth across Pennsylvania.

Sometimes life becomes more than we can carry on our own. Anxiety takes hold. Low mood settles in. A relationship fractures. A loss changes everything. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

At Weingarden Psychological Services, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Our licensed therapists draw from a wide range of evidence-based approaches — and take the time to understand what's happening for you specifically — so that the work we do together actually fits your life and your goals.

We welcome adult clients for individual therapy, couples counseling, and specialized treatment across a wide range of concerns. Both in-person sessions (in Aspinwall, Oakmont and Pittsburgh) and telehealth appointments are available. Several of our clinicians are also PsyPact-registered, meaning they can provide telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and a growing number of states.

In-Person & Telehealth Therapy in Pittsburgh

We know that access matters. That's why we offer flexible options to make care easier to fit into your life.

In-Person Therapy: Our Pittsburgh office is located in Aspinwall at 6 Loop Street, Unit 3 — a calm, private setting where you can show up exactly as you are.

Telehealth Therapy: Prefer to meet from home? Secure video sessions are available for most services throughout Pennsylvania. PsyPact registration means several of our therapists can also see clients in other participating states.

Areas of Specialization

Our therapists have deep expertise across a wide range of concerns. Below you'll find an overview of what we treat and how we approach it — in language that's honest, not clinical.

Depression, Anxiety & Life Transitions

Whether you're managing persistent low mood, navigating anxiety that won't quiet, adjusting to a major life change, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself — therapy can help.

Our therapists are trained in a range of talk therapy approaches and tailor the work to what resonates with you. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that keep you stuck; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for building skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships; Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for exploring how your relationships and life circumstances affect your mood; Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for stabilizing mood through daily routine and relationship patterns; and Interpersonal Dynamic Therapy for insight-focused work exploring how your patterns of relating to others shape your experience.

A central belief at WPS is that we are fundamentally social beings — that many emotional struggles are rooted in our relationships and the stories we carry about ourselves. Therapy offers a unique space to explore those patterns and begin to shift them.

Eating Disorders, Anorexia & ARFID

We understand that seeking help for an eating disorder can feel complicated. Ambivalence is completely normal — part of you may want things to change, while another part isn't ready. We meet you exactly where you are, without pressure or judgment.

Our approach to eating disorder treatment is collaborative and paced to you. We draw from Focal Dynamic Therapy (exploring the emotional and relational roots of disordered eating), CBT (identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior around food and body image), DBT (building coping and emotional regulation skills), and motivational approaches (supporting you in exploring your own reasons for change).

Anorexia treatment at WPS is coordinated as part of a broader treatment team — including medical and nutritional support — to make sure all aspects of your care are aligned.

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) involves a fear of negative consequences related to eating — other than concerns about weight or body image — that significantly limits food intake. It can often be effectively addressed through education, practical symptom management skills, and a gradual, comfortable exposure process to expand food tolerance.

Bipolar Disorder

Living with bipolar disorder means navigating mood episodes that can feel unpredictable and exhausting. The good news is that with the right support, meaningful stability is genuinely possible.

In addition to broadly effective therapy approaches, we specialize in Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) — an evidence-based treatment developed specifically for bipolar disorder. IPSRT helps you understand how your daily routines, sleep patterns, and relationships affect your mood cycles, giving you practical tools to reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes.

Therapy for bipolar disorder at WPS can also be coordinated alongside medication management by one of our psychiatric nurse practitioners, for clients who benefit from an integrated approach.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Emotion Dysregulation

If your emotions sometimes feel overwhelming — difficult to understand, hard to manage, or leading to behaviors that hurt your relationships or your well-being — DBT was designed with you in mind.

DBT is a highly structured, skills-based approach that helps you develop four core capabilities: mindfulness (observing your thoughts and emotions without being swept away by them), distress tolerance (getting through difficult moments without making things worse), emotion regulation (understanding and gradually shifting the emotional patterns that cause the most pain), and interpersonal effectiveness (communicating more clearly and maintaining relationships that matter to you).

DBT is effective across a wide range of experiences and is particularly well-suited for people navigating emotional dysregulation, personality disorders (including borderline, narcissistic, and antisocial personality disorder), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Couples Counseling

Relationships take work — and sometimes even strong relationships hit a season where things feel off. Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, a major transition, or simply want to strengthen your partnership, couples counseling can help you find your way back to each other.

Multiple therapists at WPS specialize in couples work, drawing from approaches including Imago Relationship Therapy (exploring how early experiences shape how we show up in our partnerships) and the Gottman Method (research-backed strategies for building trust, improving communication, and managing conflict).

Sessions may include time together as a couple, as well as individual sessions where that supports the work.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy & Identity Exploration

At Weingarden Psychological Services, we approach every client with a person-first perspective. Your identity - including your sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural background, and lived experience - is part of who you are, and we take that seriously.

Our therapists provide affirming, inclusive care and welcome clients across the full spectrum of identity and experience. We'll help you find the right fit — a therapist whose approach, expertise, and way of working feel right for you as an individual.

And More

The specializations listed above are just a starting point. Our team has expertise across many other areas, including grief and loss, trauma, OCD, ADHD, self-esteem, life transitions, stress, and relationship difficulties.

We encourage you to explore individual therapist profiles on our Team page, where you can filter by specialty and learn more about each clinician's background and approach.

What to Expect from Therapy at WPS

Starting therapy is a meaningful step — and we want the process to feel as clear and comfortable as possible.

Exploring what brings you in: Your early sessions are about building understanding — yours of yourself, and ours of you. We'll explore what's brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to feel or experience differently.

Working through the challenges: This is the heart of the work. Using approaches matched to your needs, your therapist will support you through the process of change, skill-building, and insight.

Consolidating and closing: When the time feels right, we'll work together to solidify what you've gained and bring the work to a thoughtful close. Therapy is typically held at a consistent day and time each week. Some people prefer a focused, short-term course (usually 12–16 sessions). Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll figure out what makes sense together.
