Therapists for college students near University of Pittsburgh
As an athlete, you know that performance is as much about your internal state as it is about your training and skill. I help college athletes master the mental side of their sport by treating anxiety at its physiological roots. Using a combination of EMDR to clear performance blocks and in-depth nervous system education, we’ll move beyond the "grind" to build genuine resilience and confidence. Whether you are stepping onto the field or approaching the bar, my goal is to ensure your body and mind are synced, helping you transition from being overwhelmed by pressure to being fueled by it.
I don't know everything, but I do know how anxiety, perfectionism, and OCD can easily take over. Whether you're managing overwhelming anxiety, intrusive thoughts, phobias, OCD, or perfectionism, I can help—and real progress is possible. I help college students and young adults navigate anxiety with proven, practical tools that bring meaningful change. As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, I bring over 15 years of experience to my work. I use evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to create treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals. My style is supportive, straightforward, and focused on action. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of what to do next, we’ll work together to help you move forward—with confidence. You don’t have to let anxiety run the show. If you are ready to get to work and make changes please reach out. Let’s take the next step—together.

My name is Rachel Noderer and I have spent the past 10 years helping individuals develop a stronger sense of compassion for themselves and mastery over their own identity. I work with folks who may be struggling with a lack of purpose, low self esteem, anxiety, or difficulty managing relationships with friends and loved ones. As we work together, my hope is that you will gradually feel more centered in your sense of self. You'll feel like you are making decisions more thoughtfully and that you are acting in accordance with your values. While I tailor my specific therapeutic interventions to meet your needs, my preference is for a conversational non-directive approach to explore and discover underlying patterns that may be influencing your experiences. I am a person-centered therapist first and foremost - which means I prioritize placing you and all of your intersecting identities at the center of the story. You are the expert in your own life and I'm here to walk beside you, provide feedback, and most importantly provide you the space you need to figure things out. Therapy with me may feel like sitting down with a friend who is your biggest cheerleader. I value curiosity, humor, and reflection in therapy and I strive to create lots of space for those qualities in our work together. I am queer-affirming, trans-affirming, sex-positive, and believe in practicing Health at Every Size. I also have experience in and am comfortable working with individuals in the kink/BDSM community as well as individuals practicing consensual non-monogamy.
I offer supportive, non-judgmental, and empathetic counseling services. I believe you already have your own answers and just need guidance and support to get to them. I have been practicing for over 20 years with specialties in Womens issues, Domestic violence, life transitions, Depression, anxiety, Trauma informed care, Substance use issues, Time management, and stress management. I am skilled with CBT, DBT, Motivational enhancement therapy, Motivational interviewing, and Trauma informed care models.
