Psychiatrists in Pittsburgh

“I was struggling to find a psychiatric facility that would take my insurance. The staff here was so helpful and got back to me quickly and they were also able to escalate my appointment. I am very happy I found the nexus group.“

“Because of Marissa and the Center for Counseling Arts, I found happiness and fulfillment again in my life after years of struggling with anxiety and recently adjusting to becoming a new mom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.I filled out an intake form in August of 2017 after experiencing a lack of joy and energy after becoming a new mom to my one-year-old son, and then returning to my full-time job. I had struggled with anxiety all my life with my main issue being that I am a perfectionist and a bit of a workaholic. I didn't even realize that I had been slowly filling up every moment of my life with home responsibilities, work, and parenting while not leaving room to take care of myself and my relationships. I even treated time with my son as "work" and didn't let myself enjoy the parenting experience. As a result, I had lost interest in hobbies, friends, and showed other signs of depression.Marissa very quickly helped me see that I was not only experiencing my usual anxiety, but for the first time in my life - I was depressed. I visited her once a week from August through January. Over these few months, she helped me figure out life goals, what I felt was important, and what my limitations where. It came down to realizing that I have limited resources (time and energy). And if I am not completing my goals, it is not because I am lazy or not good at something - it is because my expectations and resources available where not realistic. She also helped me to see that I am my best resource, and if I am not taking care of myself - everything else in my life suffers. I now prioritize self-care, and I ask for help from my family, partner, and friends. My life is much more balanced and I am happier than I've been for many, many years.I still see Marissa every other week to help me keep on track, work on any issues that may arise, and maintain a focus on self-care.“
