Therapists in Turtle Creek, PA
Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania is a borough that is about a 15-minute drive southeast from Pittsburgh. The borough was partly named for a tiny stream that still flows into the Monongahela River. The other part of the borough’s name comes from a small village of Native Americans who lived there. They were called the Turtle Clan, which was part of the Iroquois Nation. Streams and rivers can be much like our thoughts and emotions. In both cases, they can run off their course at times.
It’s possible to keep your emotions flowing more evenly with the help of a Turtle Creek area professional counselor. Find your best match and get your sessions rolling as soon as possible.

Expression is essential in everyday life, especially when working through difficult times. In some circumstances, it can be difficult to verbally express oneself. Creative expression can demonstrate one’s thoughts and feelings in a tangible way that verbal expression is not always able to. Art Therapy can be helpful in exploring one’s thoughts and feelings and fostering self-awareness. As an Art Therapist, I have the ability and knowledge to bring artmaking into therapy to help facilitate the healing process. I practice with a person-centered, strength based, creative approach to meet clients where they are and help them start to make changes and heal. I graduated with my Masters in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling in 2014 from Seton Hill University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), as well as a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I have experience with Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, as well as Crisis Intervention.
