MEET OUR TEAM


Choosing a clinician is an important decision. Our team is dedicated to creating a supportive, respectful, and collaborative environment where people can explore challenges, develop new skills, and work toward meaningful change.


Each clinician brings their own experience and approach to counseling, while sharing a commitment to compassionate, evidence-informed care that helps people move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Thomas Workman, PhD, LPC, NCC

Many of the difficulties people encounter are not random. They emerge from patterns that developed across years of adapting to the circumstances, demands, relationships, and constraints of everyday life. Over time, these adaptations shape the trajectories we follow and the possibilities we perceive as available. My role is to help you understand these underlying configurations, strengthen flexibility in how you respond to challenges, and create conditions that support movement toward a more effective and fulfilling direction.


I have spent more than 20 years helping individuals understand the emotional and behavioral processes that shape their lives. My approach combines insight, practical skill development, and direct collaboration to help people move beyond patterns that no longer serve them. I strive to create a warm, accepting, and transparent environment where we can work together to identify obstacles, develop new strategies, and build lasting change.


In addition to directly providing clinical services, I develop courses that are used by the Commonwealth to train clinicians in evidence-based practices for anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health diagnoses. I am passionate about helping others through counseling and educating.


I have lived in Western PA for my entire life. I personally practice the treatment methods that I implement in counseling. Meditation and mindfulness practices are a core component of my life. Additionally, I enjoy woodworking, being active, and camping/hiking with my energetic daughter.

Emily Belsito, PhD, LPC, NCC

Life is shaped by a complex interaction of relationships, experiences, opportunities, and challenges. Over time, these influences can create patterns that affect the paths we follow and the possibilities we perceive as available. My role is to help you better understand these patterns, navigate difficult circumstances with greater clarity and confidence, and develop the flexibility and resilience needed to move toward the life you want to build.


My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based care. I work closely with clients to understand their unique experiences, identify the factors influencing their current challenges, and develop practical ways to move toward their goals. I believe meaningful change occurs within a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and genuine connection.


In addition to counseling, I provide clinical supervision for therapists pursuing independent licensure and contribute to the development of educational resources focused on mental health, resilience, and well-being. I am committed to helping individuals create sustainable change that extends beyond the counseling office.


Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exercising, spending time outdoors, and spending quality time with my daughters.

Life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. While every person's story is unique, many of the difficulties we face are shaped by patterns that developed through our experiences, relationships, and circumstances over time. My role is to provide a supportive environment where we can better understand these patterns, identify new possibilities, and work together toward meaningful growth and change.



I work with adults navigating stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and personal challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor treatment to each person's goals, strengths, and experiences. Together, we work to increase insight, build effective coping strategies, and create meaningful movement toward the life you want to live.


I believe therapy should be a place where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore difficult experiences while developing the skills and confidence needed to move forward.


While counseling can involve difficult work, I also value warmth, humor, and authentic human connection throughout the therapeutic process.
