Good relationships are hard work!

You made it to today, but your marriage is sputtering, threatening to stall out. Maybe your family is also feeling distant, distracted and disconnected lately. In fact, come to think of it, busyness has really crowded out the places love used to be.

If you made it here, that means you and your loved one(s) have probably been hurting for a while now. We usually don’t seek help at the first sign of trouble. We wait until after we have tried and failed many times.

Take heart! All of us have failed, but those who enjoy success are the ones who choose to get up, dust themselves off, and find a solution. All you need is a different way of doing things. That’s where we come in.

If you are feeling lost, stuck or unsure what your next move should be, then you want a guide who knows how to get you where you want to be. You need to find a therapist who is the right fit.

Healing is a process, not an event.

If it took a while to get here, that means it will take some time to heal. The bitterness of a failed relationship remains long after the promise of a quick fix is forgotten.

Not just any therapist will help you bring about lasting healing. You want someone who not only has experience, but also understands what it takes to have a healthy marriage and family: someone who is genuine and passionate about the healing journey, rather than detached and impersonal.

We are the counselors you’ve been looking for: experienced, compassionate, and fully committed to helping you experience lasting healing.

It’s time to chart a new course.

If left unchecked, what began as a bit of bickering can lead over time to isolation, longing and separation or divorce. This is not the future you want for yourself, and we’d like to help you change that!

  • Couples – True North Vitality is a place for couples motivated to seek change and transformation in their marriage.
  • Parents – Parents looking to improve their parenting skills and address overall family dysfunction can find support at True North Vitality.
  • Spiritual – Those on a spiritual journey seeking clarity and ways to connect with God and themselves on a deeper level will find help here.
  • Individuals – Anyone trying to overcome a traumatic past and redefine how they want their lives to be right now has come to the right place.

Working together, we can build your vision for life filled with vitality, something you can see and feel and be, not just a dream of a better tomorrow.

Common questions

Where are your offices?

Greensburg (113 Alwine Avenue), Irwin (150 Robbins Station Road, second floor of the Landmark Professional Pavilion) and downtown Ligonier (125 West Main Street). We also meet online with clients located in Pennsylvania.

Do you take insurance?

Some of our counselors work with insurance and others see clients on a self-pay basis, and plans differ by counselor. Call us with your plan name and we will tell you which counselors are in network and what your options are.

Does it matter what I believe? Will you try to convert me?

True North Vitality is a Christ-centered practice, and most of the people we see are Christians who want their faith in Jesus to be part of their healing. We don’t try to convert anyone. People who are open, neutral or of another faith have also done good work here, and you hire us as counselors first.

Can we meet online?

Yes. All three counselors offer online sessions by secure, encrypted video through SimplePractice, the same secure system used for intake paperwork, reminders and payments. Online sessions are for clients who are located in Pennsylvania at the time of each session. It works well when you are unwell, the weather is bad or you live farther away.

How long are sessions?

Sessions are 55 minutes.
