If you are here, it’s probably because you are at a breaking point. Tired of feeling down? Tired of feeling exhausted? Maybe you feel alone or ignored? No matter what you are dealing with, it is my honor to walk beside you. My approach to counseling is one of empathy and understanding. I want to help you develop deeper insight into your thoughts and emotions and how they impact your behavior. I will not simply give advice. I will, instead, help you to see yourself from a different perspective. I use an eclectic blend of psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. My goal is to help you not only recognize thought patterns but also to be aware of the framework from which these patterns have emerged. You are in control of this process and my hope is that through this process you will begin to find your voice, find hope and see change in your life.

Lauren McCoy
Hello and welcome to Better Help! My name is Lauren and I am really looking forward to getting to know you and working together. As a licensed professional counselor, I strive to help my clients reach their individual goals in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, in which we partner together to focus on inner healing, explore identity, and develop coping skills to manage life’s stressors effectively. I would describe my style as warm, open, and empowering, and I consider establishing rapport and building trust as the foundation for my therapeutic relationships. I have a master's degree from Duquesne University, currently reside in the Pittsburgh area, and am licensed to practice counseling in the state of Pennsylvania. My experience over the last seven years includes working as a therapeutic staff support for autistic children, a school counselor in a wide variety of alternative school settings, and an outpatient therapist at a clinic working with children, adolescents, and adults. I currently work with individuals of all ages to help them navigate a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, daily stress, and difficult life transitions. Using a mind-body integrative approach, I tailor a program that is specific to each client's unique needs, with a focus on exploring the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. I truly consider it a great honor and privilege that my clients trust me to be a part of their journey toward a more balanced and fulfilled life. You are the guide, and it is my role to empower you to reach your goals so that you can not only survive life’s challenges, but learn to thrive as you enter the next phase of your life. I cannot wait to talk with you more as we move forward, and I am happy to answer any of your questions or concerns at any time. Take care and talk to you soon!

Amanda Shaw
Hello and welcome to Betterhelp! I know seeking additional support can be intimidating initially. I hope if you chose to work with me, I will be able to meet you where you are and provide reassurance and support as we go through this process. Allow me to introduce myself to you. I have been working within the field of social work for 13 years with populations ranging from infancy to late adulthood. Upon completion of my graduate program in 2015, I geared my focus to outpatient adult individual/group/family mental health counseling. I have and continue to work alongside those who are experiencing significant life changes, depression and anxiety. I have also supported survivors of trauma (domestic violence) and those who are experiencing grief and loss of any kind. It is my hope to provide you with a non-judgmental, safe place for you to explore challenges, strengths, and your goals. When we work together, we will explore the most suitable therapeutic approach based on your specific needs/desires for treatment. A few treatment modalities I utilize include solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. On this platform, I am happy to interact within all methods offered on the platform, that you find comfort in-phone, text, and live chat My availability is limited and sessions will be scheduled with messaging.

If there is one thing you and I both know, it's that life can be really hard sometimes. Navigating those times alone can make it so much worse. For the past 15 years, I have been bringing my compassion, kindness, and curiosity to people going through some of the worst that life has to offer to help make life not only bearable, but also meaningful. My clients usually describe me as genuine, caring, and relatable. Though I use a variety of modalities, I tend to work from a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy stance and utilize a combination of therapeutic intervention, education, and coaching based on the particular need at the time - in regular English, that just means I work to see you as a whole person with changing needs over time and that I am flexible enough to adjust to those changing needs. I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of problems, but especially enjoy working with people with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as with people who are generally doing ok but could just use someone to bounce things off of, help with setting goals, and someone to be accountable to. No matter the circumstance, things can be better. I would love to be there to support you in your growth! As for my personal background, I am a liberal and feminist woman with a wife and 2 young kids. I am a late-diagnosis ADHDer myself and know personally the difficulty that comes with both the condition and the lack of diagnosis. In addition to being busy with family and a therapy business, I also have a tiny farm and an unreasonable number of creative interests because the world is far too inspiring to be any other way!
