Counseling Practice – Gina Niewodowski, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC
Located in the Executive Building at 615 Washington Road, Suite 504 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (15228), Gina Niewodowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist holding a Master of Arts degree. The practice draws on more than 25 years of counseling experience, serving adult individuals navigating a broad range of personal and emotional challenges.
Specialty areas listed on the site include anxiety, fears, codependency, depression, divorce recovery, LGBT issues, loss and grief, social anxiety, spirituality, trauma and PTSD, life changes, adjustment challenges, and parenting concerns. Niewodowski incorporates art therapy with adults who request it as a supplementary modality, describing it as a means of expression for clients when words may not be sufficient to convey their concerns. This use of creative expression alongside traditional talk therapy reflects the Art Therapy Registered Board Certified (ATR-BC) credential she holds.
Since 1990, Niewodowski has also provided consultation services to schools and organizations, helping staff and management prepare for and respond to community tragedies. This organizational consulting work extends the practice’s scope beyond individual clinical sessions.
The stated therapeutic approach is described as collaborative teamwork, with an emphasis on understanding each client’s life circumstances, goals, and what matters most to them personally, while drawing on the client’s existing strengths. The practice focuses on adult individuals; no specific mention of services for children or adolescents appears on the site.
