Our story
About Lucent Counseling
Lucent Counseling is a trauma-informed counseling practice in Pittsburgh, built around values of nonjudgment, nonviolence, curiosity, compassion, and openness for all beings.
Why we exist
We believe growth and meaningful change can occur at any stage of life. Lucent Counseling exists to make that work accessible, relational, and genuinely human — to offer the kind of space where people can show up as they are and do the work of becoming who they want to be.
We understand healing as an intentional process of cultivating healthy, respectful, and authentic relationships with ourselves, with others, and with our wider community.
What we do
We offer individual counseling, coaching, art therapy, nature-based therapy, mindfulness training, psychedelic integration, and clinical supervision. Our clinicians are trained in a range of evidence-based modalities and draw on them as the work requires. We meet the person in front of us — not a diagnosis, not a script.
What we stand for
We aim to serve and strengthen our community by helping reduce stigma around mental health and by expanding understanding of the social, cultural, and physical environments that shape our wellbeing. We acknowledge and work to change the harmful systems and conditions that affect the people we serve.
We approach our work with reverence and humility, and consider it a privilege to serve and support you on life's journey.
Who we serve
We work with adults and adolescents navigating the full range of human experience — trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, identity, relationships, creative practice, and the ordinary and extraordinary difficulties of being alive.
We are committed to serving all people, and we especially welcome folks who have felt unseen or unwelcomed in other therapeutic spaces.
The team
Come as you are
If any of this resonates, we'd love to hear from you. You don't have to have everything figured out to deserve support.
