About
My goal is to be collaborative, supportive, and directed towards goals that are important to you. We will work together to determine your challenges preventing you from living the way you want.
I use evidence based treatment techniques to develop skills and understanding that helps you live a better life. Treatment provided is very person-centered.
I have training and knowledge of the following treatment modalities:
Solution Focus
Trauma Informed Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
A team that’s been doing this work — and doing it well — for decades.
"I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to be lost and not know where to turn. I started WPA because everyone deserves a therapist who actually fits — not just whoever has an opening.
Our team of licensed clinicians has spent decades helping people across southwestern Pennsylvania find their footing again — through anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and everything in between.
We've walked alongside thousands of people who came to us feeling stuck and left with something they didn't have before: a way forward.
That's what we're here for. And we're ready when you are."
~ Wendy McSparren, LCSW, Founder
