Second Journeys Counseling
Naomi P. Tucker, MS, LPC
About me
I am a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Prior to private practice, I worked in addictions counseling, community mental health, and case management. I have a master’s degree in Counseling from Duquesne University. I am trained in EMDR, a technique which helps process traumatic memories and negative messages.
I believe the counseling relationship itself is the main avenue for healing. When a person is accepted completely, they have the freedom to explore the aspects of themselves that may have been too hard to look at alone. We are made up of many parts, all of which need and deserve compassion and attention.
You are the expert on your own life, and I am privileged to be a companion on your journey of recovery and personal discovery.
MY SPACE
My office in Dormont is a comforting environment where you can feel safe, understood, and free from judgment.
"A lifequake is a forceful burst of change that leads to a period of upheaval, transition, and renewal." ~ Bruce Feiler
We have already had a journey, which has brought us to where we are. Now it's time for a new one. My goal is to help people find personal meaning through times of change or loss, or when what they are doing is just not working anymore. Let's work together to figure out where you want to go from this point, and how you want to get there.
