Hi My name is Hilary Chentow. I am a licensed clinical social worker living in PA and practicing in PA, WA and DE. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, Polyvagal theory and Internal Family Systems and will share resources in abundance. I was a teacher before I made a midlife career change to become a therapist. I am not a one size fits all therapist. And I am ok with that. Right fit is important.
Hi, my name is Dr. Lynn Rosenthal. I have many decades of experience helping people with issues presented. I have two Masters degrees and one doctorate in psychology. My experience varies assisting many with different issues within individual, couples, and marital counseling. I also provide clinical supervision and I am a Board Certified Executive Coach. I have afternoon and evening appointment available.
Welcome! I'm here to offer you a safe space to work through past or current trauma, anxiety, or depression.
I have over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and consider myself a lifelong learner. As a therapist who has been in therapy, I have seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.
I received my bachelor’s of arts degree in psychology from West Chester University and my Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University.
I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with 23 years of counseling experience with adults of all ages, from late-adolescence and across the lifespan.
My practice focuses on helping individuals develop personally meaningful ways of navigating anxiety and depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, time-of-life transitions, and identity development. These therapeutic partnerships often involve identity-affirming explorations of racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA, and neuro-diversity matters within clients’ lives.
Helping clients feels safe, regarded, and at ease... I work hard to understand what each individual needs from me to feel these things at the forefront of our relationship.
I feel really confident in my empathic attunement toward clients as I authentically connect with each individual. I prioritize creating a shared space of sincerity as clients begin telling me their stories.
And what an honor it is, helping clients share their narratives in a manner that highlights their courage and resilience, as well as their yearning and needs.
As we begin to explore and understand all of these things, we hone in on each client’s inner resources and external supports — identifying these things and figuring out how each individual client can feel most empowered in themselves.
Courtney Miller, LPC - Certified level II Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Clinician
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? I specialize in working with deep feelers & deep thinkers, LGBTQIA+ & gender-expansive communities, creatives, and cycle breakers healing from trauma. Whether you're navigating C-PTSD, emotional dysregulation, dissociation, identity struggles, or the impact of narcissistic family dynamics, I provide a supportive space to process your experiences and reclaim your sense of self. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop self-trust, and foster healthier relationships.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.
My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.
As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.
Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:
"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once
"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"
"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."
"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."
My name is Chami and I do my best to create a warm space for my clients. I got my M.Ed at Temple University, and their emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and affirming treatment is deeply rooted in my own practice. I have spent quite a bit of of my practice, working with people who struggle with things like addiction, abusive relationships, mood disorders, and trauma.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Pittsburgh starts with knowing what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or trauma that may be connected to experiences of discrimination or minority stress. Others want a provider who understands coming out, gender identity exploration, or relationship dynamics without needing extensive background explanation. Identifying your priorities can help you narrow your search faster.
Not every therapist who lists themselves as LGBTQ-friendly has the same level of training or experience. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ clients and can describe their affirming approach in their bio. A free phone consultation is one of the best ways to gauge whether a provider is the right match before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Pittsburgh can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
