Mental Health Practice – East End Therapists
East End Therapists is a licensed mental health counseling practice serving the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region from two offices: 6301 Forbes Avenue, Suite 310, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, and 2540 Monroeville Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146. The practice provides counseling support for teens and adults addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and general life stressors. Free street parking and a paid lot are available at the Pittsburgh office; the Monroeville location offers a free lot.
The clinical team includes 28 staff members holding credentials that include LCSW, LPC, LAPC, LSW, CRNP, Ph.D., MSN, and therapy intern designations. Named clinicians include Allison Spinneweber (LCSW), Elisha Kronheim (LCSW, CCTP), Jason Spinneweber (CRNP), Lindsey Chappel (MSN, PMHNP-C, FNP-C), Karen Montgomery (Ph.D., M.Ed., NCC), Casey O’Hara (LCSW), Heather Szarmach (LPC), Lee Kuhner (LPC), Jared Slodowick (LPC), Robert Lawrence II (LCSW), and Jennifer McCaslin (LPC), among others. The presence of a psychiatric nurse practitioner on staff means medication management services are available alongside therapy.
Therapeutic modalities include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. Service areas encompass individual therapy, couples therapy, and specialty programming for children and teens, college students, maternal mental health, LGBTQ+ individuals, men’s issues, parenting, and sex therapy.
The practice states that inclusion is foundational to its operations and hiring practices, a value reflected in the breadth of specialty services offered, including sex therapy, maternal mental health, and LGBTQ+ support alongside anxiety and depression counseling. The presence of both licensed counselors and a psychiatric nurse practitioner on staff means clients can access therapy and medication management services at the same practice without needing a referral to a separate prescriber. Additional staff include Amber Bahler, Carolyn Joslin (LSW, LBS), Caysey Lofquist (LCSW), Debbie Kramer (LCSW), Dottie Marek (LCSW), Emilie Stock (MS, LAPC), Gabriela Hutter (Therapist Intern), and Sara Carlson (LSW).
