Finding the right therapist is about finding a balance between someone who truly "gets" it and someone who can help you map out the way forward. With over a decade of experience navigating the complexities of the school system—from the classroom to the counseling office and special education therapy—I’ve dedicated my career to being both a safe harbor and a catalyst for growth. My approach is rooted in deep empathy, but I am also firmly goal-oriented. Whether we are navigating a specific diagnosis or a difficult life transition, I believe that therapy should provide you with both a sense of peace and a clear sense of direction.

Areas of Expertise & Passion

Children & Adolescents: I spent ten years working with students facing a wide range of challenges, including autism, anxiety, oppositional defiance disorder (ODD), and emotional disturbances. I understand the unique pressures of the school environment and am passionate about helping kids find their footing and flourish.

Young Adults: The transition into adulthood can feel like navigating without a map. I help young adults build the confidence they need to define their own version of success and tackle the "what comes next" with resilience.

Mothers & Postpartum Support: Motherhood is a profound transformation, often accompanied by overwhelming stressors. I provide a supportive space for postpartum moms and those juggling the relentless demands of family life to find balance, reclaim their identity, and prioritize their mental well-being.

My philosophy: I believe every individual deserves a space where they are fully seen and heard. My mission is to provide that safety while empowering you to reach the milestones that matter most to you.If you’re looking for a partner in your journey toward growth—or a steady hand for your child—I’m here to help. Let’s get to work.

Izabella Alpert

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.

My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.

Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.

Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA

Finding postpartum therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for care that fits your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people through pregnancy, pregnancy loss, fertility-related stress, or parenting transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list postpartum, perinatal mental health, or maternal mental health in their specialties. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Pittsburgh offers a strong network of mental health professionals, but the right fit may depend on more than location. If you prefer in-person care, you may want an office near your home, workplace, or a route you already take. If your schedule changes often, or infant care and physical recovery make travel harder, virtual therapy can expand your options. Before booking, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum concerns, communication style, and approach to care.

Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse postpartum therapists in Pittsburgh, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
