The Center for Counseling Arts

A ll of our licensed counselors, social workers, psychologists & psychotherapists offer a wide range of local counseling in Pittsburgh and can be contacted online through our in-depth  therapists directory 

And our director, Dr. Nancy Lardo, PhD, is happy to offer her recommendation at no cost and with no obligation. Most inquiries are answered within twenty-four hours. 

Making The Difference Today.

Support, like people, can come in many ways. At the Center you are able to connect one-to-one with someone who recognizes you are valuable and unique and bringing to this world something special. We are grateful to be present with you and, while every counselor or psychotherapist is different, you will discover:

1) You are able to talk about what really matters, without judgment. This is a special time just for you.

2) Areas of unconsciousness may become clearer with a new perspective. New skills and discoveries are available to all of us.

3) "Yes I can" is often not as far away as we think. Unhelpful patterns of feeling or thinking can be transformed into positive expressions and experiences for new possibilities.

First time visitors may be interested in The Benefits of Happiness, Mental Health & Wellness  Frequently Asked Questions  or the 3 Steps for New Clients.  For a brief outline on counseling and the therapeutic process please read Specialties and Approaches.  Questions great and small, tips to overcoming roadblocks and the essential elements of change are considered by our director in a comprehensive discussion: A Garden in A Pocket: 6 Questions on Inner Matters 

Reaching out to change the inner workings of a problem is, quite simply, what therapy is all about.

Our Center welcomes you.

We also understand the many differences of lived experiences: the concerns of people of color, Transgender health, LGBTQIA+ and gay issues, and those comprehensive complex concerns of people who often find themselves apart from larger groups.

Whether you're facing significant life changes, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, gender related issues, relationship recovery, family systems, a critical workplace incident or something you just can't label, we can help.
