Therapist Overview
Bernadette’s mission in treatment is to create a genuine and safe atmosphere for her client to tackle any of the challenges they are facing in life. One of the biggest predictors for clients in successfully reaching their therapeutic goals is the client-therapist relationship, so trust and communication are her priorities. At times she may challenge her clients, but at the same time, she will give them tools, provide support, offer warmth and a sense of humor. The treatment plan will be tailored to the client’s unique needs and abilities. She will work with you to target your most painful symptoms, using evidence-based techniques. She began her career providing psychotherapy for individuals in crisis and detox. Bernadette worked with adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction in group and individual therapy. She then joined a group practice in Pittsburgh, where she provided therapy to teens and adults (ages 13- 84) suffering from a broad scope of challenges and diagnosis. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and solution focused therapies are some of the approaches in which she is well-versed. PTSD/trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, stress/anger management, substance use disorders, assertiveness training and conflict resolution are a few areas where Bernadette has provided effective services.
