Untangle
Your Mind
Welcome
There is no clinician-patient hierarchy here, no monotone responses, or robotic feeling interactions. It's simple, just humans who are trained in the best ways to help you reach your goals, and doing so as their most authentic, human selves.
​​​​
Our focus is on building healthy, compassionate, judgement-free therapy spaces for folks 16 years old and up, where you can explore yourself safely in collaboration with your therapist. Therapy is a conjoint effort where you are in the driver's seat and your therapist is a copilot to your journey: able to provide suggestions of places to pause and rest; possible routes, steps, and turns that may get you closer to your intended destination.
​
We are an LGBTQIA+ affirming office and strive to embody the essence that genuinely ALL are welcome here. Show up as you are- we're happy to meet you there.
Meet the Owner
Kristen Watt, MA, ATR-BC, LPC
My focus as a therapist has always been on creating safe, authentic spaces for clients to explore themselves, their emotions, and their experiences without judgement. So I created Pittsburgh Art Therapy & Counseling in order to challenge some of the ugly norms within the mental health field and in giant group practices. Norms that felt like they inhibited both the clinician and the client. Not here. At PATC, we know that research shows the top factor in success rates in therapy is dependent upon the therapeutic relationship between clinician and client; so that is the centerfold of our office.
We're transparent, authentic, human. Come see for yourself!
We're so glad you're here! Reaching out for help can be tough but you're working on the first few steps towards finding the right therapist for you which is incredible! Below are just a few things that are a focus and passion here at the studio, but certainly not limited to.
