Mental Health Counselor

I’m Lucia Huerga, a pre-licensed counselor at the Shadyside location of New Directions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families in individual and group settings in schools and outpatient environments. I am eager to expand my range of clients and presenting concerns.

My goal is to foster a strength-based environment to encourage growth and healing. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to help recognize and process difficult emotions.

I look forward to working with you in a way that meets you where you are. Together, we will work to explore your presenting concerns in a way that makes you feel seen and heard. You deserve to feel empowered and motivated in your journey to wellness.
