I believe everyone possesses a set of skills and strengths to navigate through life’s ups and downs. Unfortunately, life happens and sometimes it may become harder to access or see your strengths. As your therapist I’m here to help aid you through your journey of healing, while helping you to access and gain more strengths to meet your goals.

My Name is DaiDra Thompson. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I graduated with my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Geneva College in 2014.  I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and grief and loss.  I have specialized training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused therapy. 

I don’t believe therapy should be treated with a  one size fits all approach. Instead, I take the time to listen and understand the uniqueness of your personal experiences. As a therapist my approach to the therapeutic relationship is person-centered. I believe in order to have a positive therapeutic relationship, the rapport building process is important. I like to meet you where you are, focusing care on your specific needs. 

I provide both in-person and telehealth services in our Squirrel Hill office.  I’m looking forward to meeting with you soon!
