MANDY KUSHNER, LPC-S, NBCC, CCTP

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I have my Bachelor's in Psychology from LaRoche College and my Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University. I hold certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Clinical Trauma (CCTP). I am also able to provide supervision for counselors looking to obtain licensure.
My clinical experience of over 15 years has included counseling children, teens, adults, seniors, couples and families in a variety of settings: inpatient psychiatric hospital, outpatient, wraparound, school-based, medical office and private practice. I have expertise in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, post-partum depression, relationship issues, grief and gambling addiction. Additionally, I provide counseling for bipolar disorder, personality disorders, self-esteem, eating disorders, life transitions and LGBT issues. You have the choice of a 50 minute traditional face-to-face counseling session or a 50 minute phone/FaceTime session. I began my professional counseling experience as a School-Based Therapist in the Pittsburgh Public School System. I provided individual counseling and group counseling for troubled teens. During this time, I was also a Mobile Therapist in Wraparound. My next endeavor took me to Genesis Medical Associates where I was a Licensed Counselor providing individual, couples, family and group counseling within the medical office. I then became an Independent Licensed Counselor for Transformation Counseling Center, Inc. where I enjoyed providing individual, couples, family and group counseling for children, teens and adults in a private practice setting. I started my own private practice and I'm very excited to be able to help people. |

I hold a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University. I have an inquisitive approach of exploration that can focus on how a client’s past affects the present or how the present affects the future. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model which enables me to help clients identify the thoughts that are generating their feelings, which drives their behavior. Through actively listening, I’m able to offer insight for clients to better help them reach their goals.
Over the past few years, I have worked at UPMC Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic which has allowed me to work with adults struggling with severe and persistent mental illness in a community setting. My experience in the military has provided me with the knowledge to best help veterans or those struggling with PTSD specifically related to combat. My family and I enjoy outdoor activities and trying new adventures. I personally love to listen to podcasts and read books. *Evening appointments available |
