why work with Jaye
You already know more than you think
Maybe something happened and you have not found your footing since. Maybe you are tired of managing how much of yourself a room can take. Jaye works from the belief that you hold real insight into your own healing — her job is helping you reach it, not supplying it.
HOW JAYE WORKS
Ten approaches, chosen for you

EMDR therapy — a route that does not require retelling
“Healing is possible with the right mindset and a thoughtful, personalized plan.”
CARE PHILOSOPHY
Collaborative. Not prescriptive.
Jaye starts from a specific premise: you already hold valuable insight into your own healing. That is not a compliment — it is a working method. The sessions are built to get at what you already know and make it usable, rather than handing you a framework and asking you to fit inside it.
What stays constant is the room itself. Compassionate and nonjudgmental, which in practice means you are not managing her reaction while you say the difficult part. For clients who are LGBTQIA+, disabled, or neurodivergent, that matters in a specific way: the basics of your life are not up for explanation before the work can start.
From there it is practical. Finding the strengths already in play, building tools that fit your actual circumstances, and — when trauma is what brought you in — using EMDR to reduce what the memory still does to you now. She believes healing is possible with the right approach and a plan made for you specifically.
ABOUT JAYE
A space where you feel seen, supported, and respected
Jaye Sobieski brings a collaborative and empowering approach to therapy, guided by the belief that each person holds valuable insights into their own healing. She creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, supported, and respected.
She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh and is a National Certified Counselor, trained in EMDR therapy. Her background includes work with people navigating some of the harder transitions — identity development, emotional recovery, and the aftermath of trauma.
Her clinical focus centers on trauma, grief, LGBTQIA+ concerns, disability, and neurodivergence, alongside anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional abuse, and self-esteem. She describes her ideal client as someone struggling to find footing after one or many traumas, looking to use EMDR, DBT methods, or similar approaches to find a route back to a workable normal.
By helping clients recognize and build on strengths they already have, Jaye supports the development of practical tools for growth. She works with teens and adults, in person at the South Hills office and by telehealth across Pennsylvania, and practices under the supervision of Tess Inman, LPC, NCC.

Therapy guides from Jaye Sobieski
Mental Health
The Same Hill, Two Experiences: Tandem Cycling & CBT
The same hill can feel completely different to two people riding it together — for one, speed means danger; for the other, speed means fun. That gap is a central idea in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): our emotions are shaped not only by what happens to us, but by how we interpret it. CBT helps us notice those automatic interpretations and respond with more balance. Christina Binder, LSW practices in Center City Philadelphia and by telehealth across Pennsylvania.
Relationships
What Actually Changes in Couples Therapy
Most couples arrive at therapy still hopeful — tired of the same argument and wanting it to stop, not deciding whether to leave. With me, a session isn’t two people venting while someone nods: I give feedback and hand over usable skills, using the Gottman Method to find the pattern underneath the conflict. Ashlie Mohney, LPC works with couples in Pittsburgh’s Robinson area and by telehealth across Pennsylvania.
Relationships
Codependency: When Caring for Someone Costs You Yourself
Codependency is a pattern — not a diagnosis — where your sense of self becomes tied to managing, pleasing, or rescuing someone else, and your own needs get filed under “later” permanently. It’s usually a skill that was learned somewhere and once kept you safe. Because it’s a pattern rather than a disorder, it can change. Kelly Schworn, LPC offers person-centered therapy in English and Spanish in Pittsburgh’s South Hills and across Pennsylvania.
