Personalized Mental Health Therapy in Pittsburgh
I am Kirk, Alysia D, a licensed therapist with nearly 15 years of experience in the Pittsburgh area. My journey into this profession began during my teenage years when I faced personal challenges and found guidance through a supportive mentor. This experience inspired me to help others navigate their own difficulties. Over my career, I have worked in diverse settings including inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practice, gaining a broad range of skills to support individuals uniquely. I specialize in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns, using tailored approaches such as CBT, person-centered therapy, and REBT.My practice emphasizes individualized care, recognizing that no two clients are the same. I work with adults, children, and families to address executive functioning challenges, emotional struggles, and behavioral issues. Sessions are typically one hour long and are covered by major insurance providers. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel empowered to achieve personal growth and lasting change. I believe in treating each person with compassion and respect, helping them build confidence and focus in all areas of life.
