Debra Gerse, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Squirrel Hill Office
Direct: 724-759-7603
Phone: 724-759-7500 ext. 150

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned both a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh.  I have a strong background working with kids as a family based therapist, in the schools, and in an outpatient setting in community mental health.  In my almost 20 years of therapy experience I have worked with clients from 5 to 65 years of age.

My areas of special interest include ADHD, depression, anxiety, working with autism spectrum disorders, school related issues, parenting skills, self-esteem issues, and grief related issues.

I am a strong advocate of my clients taking an active role in the therapeutic process.  Therapy is not something you buy off the shelf.  I will work with each client to tailor and individualize the process to meet their needs and goals.  I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness skills, family therapy, and anxiety management skills.

Appointments are available in our offices near Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill.
