About Andrew Weinberg

Hi, I am Andrew Weinberg (he/him), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from SUNY Stony Brook’s School of Social Welfare and have been an outpatient therapist since 2003.

I currently offer counseling sessions to individuals aged 21 and older.

Team Approach

Therapy treatment works best when we approach it as a team, with me as your “guide” and you as the active participant working towards change. Through this dynamic, we can create a space for transformation and growth. While on this journey together, we may not always agree or see things the same way. It is not my goal to get you to think like me. Instead, I want you to be able to question/challenge, think, and make decisions for yourself that serve you.

Experience and Specialties

My experience includes working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, sexual identity, and gender identity. My style of therapy tends to lean heavily on skills development over processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are the interventions I use in my practice, tailored to your individual needs and goals. If you’re not quite sure what those goals are, I’m here to help guide you in understanding and defining them.

Is too little or too much control getting in the way?

Is control getting in the way of your social connections and achieving your valued goals? Struggling with control, either having too much, too little, or just feeling like you could be more flexible, is a real experience people try to understand. You may be struggling to connect with others socially and feel like no one understands you or your experiences. Some people struggle to see the rewards and only see the threats. If any of this sounds like you and you are 21 or older, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or Radically Open-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT) might be the therapeutic tool you are looking for.

An Evidence-Based Approach to Managing Control

DBT and RO-DBT are industry standards for evidence-based therapies. It is used worldwide for a variety of conditions and reasons. It is a skills-based model that can be learned in individual and/or group therapy. I find that the skills taught in both modalities serve people well in their daily lives. RO-DBT skills help you become a more radically open person. When we are more open, others are more open with us. This allows for deeper, more meaningful connections with others and the world around you. When we are more open and flexible, we are better equipped to navigate our lived experiences effectively.

My Experience & Training in Counseling for Control Management

I am certified in DBT through Evergreen Certifications. I have completed Level I of RO-DBT and plan to complete Level II by the end of 2026. I have been practicing outpatient DBT in some form since 2005 and found it to be beneficial in both my professional and personal life.

Scheduling Therapy to Manage the “Control” Affecting Your Quality of Life

If you are looking to expand your world, live more mindfully, or just generally want to be a more open person, consider meeting with me to learn more about DBT/RO-DBT and how it could work for you. Call or contact scheduling to schedule an appointment with me today either in person in Pittsburgh or online anywhere in Pennsylvania.

Certified Transgender Care Therapist

I am a Certified Transgender Care Therapist, and I received my certification from the International Transgender Certification Association in 2018. Given all that life can be, people must have a space to reflect, process, and create meaningful change(s) in their lives. That is the space that I try to provide for people.

I am certified in DBT through Evergreen Certifications and am currently working on becoming certified in Radically Open-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT)

What to Expect

In our first sessions together, we will use the time to get to know you and to identify your treatment goals. We will explore your relationship with control and the various ways this may arise in your lived experience. This will help us determine which version of DBT will work best for you. Moving forward, we will engage in a variety of skills-building and psychoeducational work aimed at improving your relationship with yourself and others.
