Alexandrea is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor that specializes in treating children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health needs. Therapy is a passage to understanding and discovering all aspects of yourself.  Alexandrea strives to create a comfortable space for you to self-explore while feeling safe and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, a partnership between the client and the therapist and should remain respectful, trusting, and transparent. The therapy room is the space for you to be your complete authentic self, free of judgment and full of motivation and support. 

It can be overwhelming to begin therapy. It takes a strong person to recognize that they need counseling to help during at difficult time.

I am a LPC with 15 years experience working with adults on an individual basis or couple counseling.

Therapy is a personal experience that differs for everyone.  It is an opportunity to talk with an unbiased person, trained to help challenge you to approach your life from differing perspectives. 

My name is Christie Walsh, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and the co-owner of a new practice in the suburbs of Pittsburgh called Mindful Bloom Therapy. 

Life is never "one size fits all" and neither is counseling. I work from the theory of emotionally focused therapy with families and couples. Individually, using cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive processing theory.

I strive to personalize treatment approaches to individuals and families, addressing relational patterns, self-defeating beliefs and emotion regulation. I utilize techniques and approaches which support healthier methods to manage emotions and distressing negative thoughts, which addressing negative life experiences so they no longer limit current or future functioning.

I know there is a stigma about going to therapy. I feel that even looking at this site is a great first step towards taking control of your future. Even if you do not know what to expect from therapy, just talking to someone and letting things out is therapeutic in itself.

I am committed to supporting you throughout your healing journey by providing a safe place that is non-judgmental, encouraging, and supportive as you navigate through the difficult moments of your life. Striving to help you gain insight about the problems hindering you from living your best life possible, address unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, and patterns of behavior, and implement new ways of coping through life’s issues. With compassion and understanding, we collaborate to determine the most effective approach to treatment.

Beginning psychotherapy can be incredibly intimidating, but it’s important to know that your therapy session time is all yours for you to use as you want. It’s a time when you are the star and you don’t have to worry about anyone else jumping in and taking over. Whatever is on your mind is okay to bring up. 

Do you find yourself struggling to know who you are or what you want out of life? Maybe you are going through a big life transition that has left you feeling frazzled. Becoming an independent adult is difficult. With a specialization in working with college-students and young adults (20 & 30-somethings), I can help you gain more self-awareness and manage the stress that becoming an adult can cause. I focus on using relational psychodynamic psychotherapy to help you gain more self-awareness into who you are and how your relationships have impacted you so that you can become the person you want to be. I also incorporate elements of Cognitive behavioral therapy, problem-solving, and mindfulness. As a millennial I know how difficult it can be to start your life as an adult. There are so many unknowns and it can be difficult to know what path to take. It’s easy to feel stuck. But together we can work on whatever is holding you back so that you can move forward towards the life you want.

When it comes to therapy, my favorite part is that your therapist is someone who does not know anything about you or your life other than what you share with them. They do not have an emotional connection to your life or your choices in the way that family and friends do, so they are often a safe space to share thoughts, feelings, and concerns without the fear of disappointing someone, worrying them, or hurting their feelings. A therapist is meant to hold up a mirror to you and help you work toward what you want to see in your reflection.
