If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because something in your life feels heavier than you’d like it to be. Maybe you’re feeling stretched thin by anxiety or exhaustion. Maybe you’ve been doing your best to manage ADHD, past trauma, or the constant pressures of everyday life—and it’s starting to feel like too much to carry alone. Whatever has brought you here, please know that you don’t have to face it by yourself.

At Valiant Minds Counseling, we understand that reaching out for help takes courage. Taking this step is an act of self-care, and we’re honored to meet you right where you are. Our mission is to provide a space that feels safe, inclusive, and grounded in compassion—where individuals, couples, and families can explore their experiences, heal from pain, and move toward meaningful, lasting growth.

We believe that healing happens through connection—when you feel seen, heard, and accepted for who you are. Our team of experienced therapists is here to help you rediscover your strength, restore balance, and create changes that bring you closer to the life you want to live. Whether you’re seeking clarity, calm, or direction, we’ll walk beside you each step of the way as you move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and whole.

Accessible and Supportive Care

Therapy should be accessible to everyone, and we want to make getting started as simple as possible. At Valiant Minds Counseling, we accept a variety of insurance plans to reduce financial barriers and make care more attainable. We currently accept :

  • Highmark
  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield
  • UPMC Health Plan
  • UnitedHealthcare

By completing our Therapy Request & Insurance Verification form, we can take the first step in verifying your insurance coverage and matching you with a therapist who best fits your needs. Our goal is to make the process smooth and supportive, so you can focus on your well-being, not the paperwork.
