Therapists for college students near Pittsburgh, PA

Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.

I work with individuals 18 years old and above who are struggling with depression or anxiety. I can support you to change behaviors to feel better, change patterns of thinking to improve your feelings, develop closer and more satisfying relationships, and much more. I use approaches that have been shown to be effective such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. As a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, I conducted research specific to the mental health of teenagers. I also have extensive experience working with LGBT individuals. Our first meeting would be a chance for me to really understand why you want therapy, for us to develop goals together (Note: My clients often begin developing goals by thinking about "If we are successful working together in therapy, how would you and your life be different?"), and for you to determine if therapy with me is a "good fit."

My therapeutic approach is relational, solution-focused, multiculturally informed, and evidence-based. I believe that cultivating a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment is the foundation for therapeutic outcomes. With a CBT- and DBT- informed approach, my clients utilize therapy to explore long-standing problems, navigate current stressors, and work on more effective ways to manage mental health symptoms. I strive to help my clients build a life that feels meaningful and rewarding, where they feel more at ease and more successful in various areas (and various stages). I specifically have experience working with teens and young adults with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and self-harm.

Hi, I’m Dr. Julie Englert, a licensed psychologist who provides both individual therapy and psychological testing. I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where you can feel heard and supported. I work with young adults through adulthood, and many of my clients come to me for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity concerns, and career challenges. In addition to working with adults, I also bring extensive experience supporting college students as they navigate academic, social, and personal changes. My approach is warm and relational. I draw from a variety of treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while also integrating mindfulness, attachment theory, & trauma-informed care.

As an athlete, you know that performance is as much about your internal state as it is about your training and skill. I help college athletes master the mental side of their sport by treating anxiety at its physiological roots. Using a combination of EMDR to clear performance blocks and in-depth nervous system education, we’ll move beyond the "grind" to build genuine resilience and confidence. Whether you are stepping onto the field or approaching the bar, my goal is to ensure your body and mind are synced, helping you transition from being overwhelmed by pressure to being fueled by it.

Hello! Are you feeling overwhelmed and tired of holding it all together? You don't have to do it alone! Many of the clients that I work with are young adults learning how to adult! Managing and balancing the demands of school, work, and relationships while still caring for yourself can be stressful. I would be honored to walk your path with you. Please contact me and together we'll figure out how to achieve a life balance.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for college students and young adults in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania via telehealth. Many of the students I work with are dealing with anxiety, academic pressure, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the stress of major life transitions. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Therapy provides a space to better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing healthier ways of responding to stress. Students often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together we work to clarify what is happening beneath the surface, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in areas such as anxiety, depression, relationships, and self-confidence. I provide both in-person sessions in Carnegie, Pennsylvania and secure online therapy throughout the U.S. via PSYPACT. Prior to private practice I trained and worked full time at five counseling counseling centers in various cities.

At Pivotal Years, I understand that navigating life transitions and managing emotional stress can feel overwhelming, especially within marginalized communities. If you're struggling with stress management, anxiety, or depression, please know that you don't have to face these challenges alone. My approach is rooted in compassion and cultural sensitivity, aiming to provide you with the support and tools you need to thrive. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where seeking help is encouraged and supported. In my practice, I provide a range of eclectic, strength-based, and solution-focused interventions tailored specifically to your unique needs and concerns. I also offer a compassionate approach that gently encourages you to shift your perspective on internal struggles and navigate obstacles with newfound resilience.
