Kristin Bonuito

Kristin has been a licensed social worker since 2015. She earned her master's in social work from California University of Pennsylvania. She has over a decade of experience serving individuals, families, couples, and children. Kristin uses a variety of modalities to decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

You can trust that her empathetic and authentic style (and a little humor) will create a safe environment where you and/or your family can share your story.

Serena Canciello

Therapy is one of the first major steps a person can take on their healing journey—I welcome you with open arms! Together, we will explore your emotions and make connections, analyze relationships and how they impact you, and process through life challenges. As a client, you are the expert in your own life and it is my duty to help guide you on the right path to feeling better in body, mind, and soul.

I love working with all populations of people. I have experience working with a wide variety of ages (5–50) and specialize in adulthood (18–50). I have a passion in working with those suffering from anxiety disorders, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I am culturally affirming and will always advocate for multicultural and social justice issues.

I am person-centered and trauma-informed, and draw on an eclectic approach, since I believe treatment should be tailored to each person’s specific needs. You will most likely find me operating from a REBT, DBT, Somatic-based, and/or IFS systems lens. My goal is to help identify parts of your self that need attention, reframe core beliefs to more helpful and accurate ones, and feel more connected and emotionally regulated in your nervous system.

Matthew ‘Matt’ Chase

I am a mental health practitioner with three years of professional experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. My background includes working with people experiencing homelessness, youth involved in court-ordered services, and individuals navigating ADHD and other life stressors. These experiences have strengthened my belief that every person has inherent worth, potential, and the capacity for meaningful change.

My therapeutic style is grounded in a client-centered approach, offering a non-judgmental space built on radical acceptance and genuine collaboration. I draw from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while maintaining a holistic focus. I strive to help my clients explore mind, body, environment, and identity as interconnected parts of their well-being.

I believe that therapy does not have to feel intimidating; it can be an empowering experience that helps you see your life and struggles from a fresh and compassionate perspective. There are no barriers that cannot be overcome, and sometimes all we need is a safe place to sort through our thoughts, reconnect with ourselves, and prioritize self-care.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and move towards a place of peace and self acceptance.

Andrea Corona, M.A., LPC

I know that change can be intimidating, even overwhelming at times. It is my goal to be a collaborative and supportive companion in the difficult journey from surviving to thriving. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience working with clients of different ages, backgrounds, and mental health needs. With a background in trauma and specialization in Christian counseling, I believe in taking a holistic, client-centered approach to healing. I work authentically with each of my clients to build a safe space to work through past trauma and loss while fostering physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational wellness.

Kim Dalesandro

I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, and depression. My approach in compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions while developing effective coping strategies.

Whether you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming worry, or persistent low mood, I provide the tools and guidance to help you regain control and improve your well-being.

In my free time, I enjoy riding my bicycle, kayaking, and hiking.  As a Pittsburgh native, I have a deep love for our city and its sports teams.

Angela Driscoll

I believe every child and family deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, especially during difficult seasons.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and families facing all kinds of challenges, including ADHD, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I know that every child is unique, and every family has its own story. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and help you find a path forward that feels right for you.

I use a gentle, strength-based approach, grounded in trauma-informed care. That means I focus on what’s working, not just what’s hard, and I work to create a safe, trusting space where real healing and change can happen.

I draw from different therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, and family systems work. I also incorporate the Sanctuary Model, especially when working with children and families who’ve experienced stress or trauma. With my background in service coordination, I can also help families connect with community resources and ongoing support outside of therapy.

I work with children and pre-teens, teenagers, and parents and families navigating big emotions, behaviors, or life changes.

I earned my Master of Social Work from PennWest University, and my Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Sciences and Human Services from Clarion University. I’m currently working toward full licensure as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and I practice under supervision.

I care deeply about creating a space where kids and families feel safe, understood, and empowered, even when things feel overwhelming. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Julianna Geyer, M.A., ATR-P

You don’t have to be an experienced artist to benefit from art therapy. Art therapy, as well as “traditional” therapy, is for anyone open to giving it a try. I work from a person-centered approach and believe that the client is in charge. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment to promote self-growth. I encourage my clients to advocate for themselves in and out of sessions and to feel comfortable with who they are.

I work for The Bradley Center’s residential treatment facility program as a mental health therapist and art therapist, in addition to providing outpatient art therapy services. I primarily work with adolescent females and have experience working with middle and high school-age children of various gender and sexual identities. I have experience working with diverse diagnoses, including anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

In addition to working from a person-centered approach, I utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. I am a Provisional Registered Art Therapist (ATR-P) working toward becoming a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) through supervised practice and preparing for the board examination.

Hannah Gross

This is my 10th school year in the field; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified School Counselor in the state of PA. I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Penn State (Main Campus), in Psychology and Counselor Education respectively. I specialize in working with children and teens. Working with this unique age group is more than a job; it is both a calling and my greatest honor. I have supported kids and their families experiencing a wide variety of mental, behavioral, academic, and emotional health concerns. Some common themes or goals in my work include processing trauma; coping with stress, anxiety, and depression; building self-esteem/self-advocacy skills; practicing social skills ; expanding emotional awareness; improving communication; and exploring your identity.

You often hear those in helping professions talk about their “why” – what it is that brought them to the field and inspires them to keep going. My why is summarized in a piece by play therapy icon Garry Landreth called “Principles for Relationships with Children.” He writes “I cannot make children’s hurts, fears, frustrations, and disappointments go away. Therefore, I will soften the blow.” I cannot make life’s challenges disappear for your child, but I promise to soften the blow and support them in facing whatever life brings.

Shari Kaminski, M.Ed., NCC

Therapy can be a powerful, positive source of support for anyone at any age, no matter what they are going through.

Since 2017, I have worked with clients of all ages to face various challenges, including trauma, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, OCD, difficult family situations, autism, and ADHD. I can work together with you to process emotions, set and work toward goals, strengthen relationships and self-esteem, and, most importantly, stay safe while doing so. Everyone I see is unique and has their own path to success. My goal is to help you feel heard and supported while working on your own goals.

Rachael Kovaly

I believe that every person and their story is unique. My approach to therapy is grounded in providing a nonjudgemental, warm space where all can feel seen, heard, and supported through all seasons of life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, or major life changes, you don’t have to face it alone. I support children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate their unique therapeutic journeys, offering guidance and compassion every step of the way.

I draw from a variety of different therapeutic approaches, including CBT and DBT, while incorporating the Sanctuary Model, especially when supporting individuals who have experienced stress or trauma. With my background in music therapy, I can assist individuals in creatively expressing their thoughts and feelings while adapting therapeutic models to fit the individual needs of each person.

I am here to support all individuals, whether you’re just beginning your journey toward healing or seeking ways to deepen your personal growth, and I would be honored to walk the journey alongside you.

Charles V. “Chuck” Lord, M.S., NCC, LPC

I have been working in the mental health community for the past 39 years. I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and began my career working with children as a summer camp counselor in 1983. Prior to my service at The Bradley Center, I was employed as a Child Care Worker from 1986–1994 at St. Francis Medical Center in Lawrenceville. I obtained my Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University in 2004 and have been at The Bradley Center for the past 31 years in various capacities, most recently as the Senior Mental Health Therapist in the School-Based Program. I have also been an agency trainer for the past 27 years, conducting training in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), The Sanctuary Model of Trauma-Informed Care, and Motivational Interviewing. I currently provide supervision for master’s-level clinicians seeking licensure and have previously taught as a part-time faculty member at Robert Morris University in the psychology department.

I have provided individual and family therapy in The Bradley Center’s Outpatient Services Program for the past five years, as well as school-based therapy for the past 1.5 years. I use a person-centered approach to therapy as well as CBT and TF-CBT to help clients address depression, anxiety, grief and loss, past trauma, and other mental health struggles.

I have lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and am an ardent sports fan. I can be found rooting for my favorite teams—the Pirates, Penguins, Steelers, Pitt Panthers, and the Central Catholic Vikings.

Cydney Miller, LSW

Hi, I’m Cydney! I’m a Licensed Social Worker who has been supporting children and families since 2014. My work has taken me into homes, schools, outpatient clinics, and residential programs, where I’ve had the privilege of helping children with autism and behavioral needs grow, thrive, and discover their strengths.

I take a person-centered approach, blending creativity with evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My goal is always to meet each child where they are, build a genuine connection, and create a safe, supportive space where growth feels possible. Whether it’s helping a child learn new coping skills, supporting parents through challenges, or celebrating small victories together, I believe progress comes through patience, collaboration, and compassion. I truly enjoy working alongside families and children as they navigate their unique journeys.

Samantha Protin

With a deep commitment to supporting children and adolescents through their most formative years, I specialize in helping young people navigate behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. With 15 years of clinical experience, I use a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach to guide children and teens toward healthier behavior patterns and improved self-esteem.

Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, defiance, ADHD, school difficulties, or social struggles, I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where trust can grow. I partner closely with parents/caregivers, school staff and other team members to ensure consistent support at home and in school, tailoring strategies that are practical, compassionate, and developmentally appropriate.

I believe in the power of early intervention and the resilience of young minds, my mission is to help each child feel seen, heard, and capable of change.

Amber Seibel

I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, who received a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Duquesne University. I studied German and Anthropology as an undergraduate at Lycoming College. I am fluent in Spanish. I began my clinical experience in 2022 helping immigrant and refugee adolescents in a shelter. Since then, I have worked in residential, outpatient, school based, and family home settings. Working with clients of all backgrounds is nothing short of a privilege for me! Many of my therapeutic approaches are centered in narrative, person-centered, existential, and Gestalt theories. Additionally, I incorporate many aspects of CBT, DBT, and other family therapy models into my work.

Looking at a person holistically is central to my work. I find it not only helpful but necessary to collaborate with parents and guardians, school staff, and other providers to support the most positive outcome possible for the young people I work with. Cultural humility and trauma informed practices are something I take very seriously. I believe that all people possess the skills and know-how to achieve their best selves… therapy just helps unlock their potential!

Carter Sparks

I'm a queer, trans therapist committed to honoring your experiences and identities while we work together to create healing and positive change. I believe that a lot of the concerns people bring to therapy are normal (and human!) reactions to living in a society that tells us that we are wrong, that we are not enough, that we are too much. These reactions can show up as stress, anxiety, depression, shame and guilt, and so many other challenges that can impact how we feel.

My approach to therapy works to identify the messages from society and others that hurt us, and rewrite them in ways that are positive and personally meaningful. We will work together to understand your strengths that have helped you to survive, your circumstances that may keep you feeling stuck, and your hopes and opportunities for living a fulfilling life.

I view therapy as an opportunity to know and understand you, how you experience being in your body and in the world, and how your history has led you to where you are now. My goal is to create a space that feels safe and comfortable, where all the parts of who you are can join in our work — your hopes, your fears, and even the parts that are hidden.

Erika Tabacsko

I’m Erika, a therapist who believes that growth happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, or behavioral concerns.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal oriented. I primarily use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I also incorporate skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. In addition, I utilize Motivational Interviewing to help clients build motivation, confidence, and readiness for change at their own pace.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges openly while developing practical coping skills and healthier patterns. Whether you are working through difficult emotions, family conflict, behavioral concerns, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and understood.

I know reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I look forward to helping you build on your strengths and work toward the life you want for yourself.

Liba Tenenbaum

Every single client entering my office is an inherently ideal human. When in the throes of struggle with mental health or difficult life circumstances, we sometimes see the world through squinted eyes, and it can be difficult for others—even oneself—to see that. From my perspective, the ideal client is simply one who shows up and is present as they are.

If you're considering therapy, whether for yourself or your child, know that you are fundamentally incredible. This is a space to connect with and nurture what is already within. My name is Liba, and I am a master’s-level clinician with a specialization in Child and Person-Centered Play Therapy. This means that in my office, therapy is the experience of being accepted 100% as you are, so that clients can fully explore themselves through play and utilize their disposition toward growth when they see what they do and why. In the case of children, toys and play are their natural medium for communication. Engaging in play meets them where they are, supporting them in a genuine way. The path to counseling is often challenging, especially for parents who may fear judgment or feel shame about their child needing help. In my office, there is no judgment. I see you as the expert in your child, and together we’ll work as partners to support your child’s growth in a safe, empathetic space.

Samantha ‘Sam’ Trumpower

Becoming comfortable enough to take the first uneasy steps on the winding road of the therapeutic journey is an accomplishment in and of itself! As the therapist, I believe it is my role to help you on this path; to help guide you to clearer waters, so that you can become your own biggest supporter. To me, this means that the one who sits across from the therapist is in the driver’s seat; we work as a team to bring about positive change in your world.

I provide therapy from a holistic person-centered lens, meaning I take the pieces of the puzzle you provide me and form them into an individualistic understanding of what makes you who you are. It may sound like a cliché to say, “everyone is unique in their own way,” but in my experience, this statement is the truth. It can help all of us remember that we are human beings living our lives for the very first time.

As a therapist, I have experience working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and their families who have experienced hardship and trauma. I am dedicated to ensuring a trauma-informed safe space that can allow us to work together to understand your puzzle and how we can make the pieces fit together.
