The Rooted Way
We're excited to announce that our practice is making a shift
We will now be doing business as THE ROOTED WAY.
This change is a movement toward providing grounded healing
and intentional growth to our community by offering
integrative wellness services to anyone, with more reach.
Good therapy offers a time and space
Reflect, understand, learn skills to cope with strong emotions, be creative, and most importantly, be heard.
Non-judgmental support
Experienced therapists allow clients to safely explore issues and problems that they have been unable to resolve on their own.
Safe and supportive environment
Every client may achieve a pronounced sense of peace and fulfillment in their lives and in their relationships.
About Our Practice
At the heart of our practice is a simple yet powerful mission:
Grounded Healing. Intentional Growth.
We understand that healing isn’t one-dimensional. That’s why our practice has evolved to reflect a more holistic approach—one that honors the deep connection between mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your day-to-day routine, overwhelmed by life’s demands, unsure of your next step, or struggling to connect in your relationships the way you once did—we’re here for you. We specialize in supporting individuals navigating mental and physical health concerns, and we do so with compassion, care, and a comprehensive perspective.
Our integrated offerings include mental health counseling and therapy, massage therapy, and other soon-to-be-launched services—all designed to support healing, alignment, and personal growth. Every service we provide is rooted in the belief that you deserve to feel better, more balanced, and more like yourself again.
This is a space for you to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the life you’re creating.
Let’s begin our journey together.
Grounded Healing. Intentional Growth.

Is Therapy Right for Me?
If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly in survival mode — you’re not alone. Many of our clients come to us exhausted from over-functioning, stuck in people-pleasing, battling self-doubt, or feeling emotionally shut down. Others feel weighed down by a heaviness they can’t quite explain — going through the motions, pulling away from people they care about, or feeling like they’ve lost themselves.
We help you untangle these patterns in a space that’s grounded, compassionate, understanding, and accepting.
Whether you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling like you can’t show up the way you want to in relationships, we’re here to support you. Together, we work to calm the overwhelm, make sense of what’s been holding you back, and practice new ways of showing up — with more confidence, connection, and ease.
Healing isn’t about becoming someone else — it’s about coming home to yourself. We walk with you as you reclaim your voice, your energy, and your sense of safety in the world.
The therapeutic process sheds light upon how we are, who we are, and gives people a greater understanding about living as fully, authentically, and compassionately as possible. Therapy enables people to explore their lives and realize the many choices that are available to them.
Whatever the reasons people choose therapy, it means taking a more truthful look at ourselves. Through closer exploration of our behaviors, relationships, moods, beliefs, and fears, it is possible to transform our attitudes toward living and make some astonishing and lifelong changes. Appointments are now available on weekdays, evenings and weekends for individual psychotherapy for adults, children and teenagers, marital and couples counseling, and family therapy.

"My anxiety and depression were out of control. I felt stuck and my doctor’s only answer was to prescribe medications which all had horrible side effects. I called Pittsburgh Psychotherapy and I’m so glad I did. After a few months with my therapist, I am starting to see improvements and my life feels much more manageable now."
"Since coming to Pittsburgh Psychotherapy Associates I actually look forward to therapy. My therapist is awesome! The other staff is great as well. They are extremely helpful and always friendly."
"Our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. My daughter’s therapist is so helpful and kind. She is someone who spends time getting to know you and answering all your questions. She makes us feel comfortable and at home. I can’t recommend their services enough."
"I was at my lowest point before I started seeing my current therapist at Pittsburgh Psych. My therapist not only assured me it was going to be okay, but he worked with me for months to make sure my issues were addressed and solved. This place was a life saver for me."
"We are very pleased with the level of therapy our son has been receiving. Our therapist answers our questions without using technical terms and we always feel welcomed. She is very accessible (as is her office) and she answers our calls and emails within a few hours."
"My husband and I thought our next appointment together was going to be in a divorce attorney’s office, and then I called Pittsburgh Psychotherapy Associates. Our therapist was simply the best. He was upfront, but compassionate and never arrogant like other therapists I’ve encountered. He helped us communicate in a way that felt natural and never forced."
