Getting to know Heather Korpa

My name is Heather Korpa, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pittsburgh, PA. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and have been a practicing clinician for over 25 years, bringing extensive clinical and personal experience to my clients. I provide individual therapy to adults coping with life changes and challenges—whether they need motivation to make a change or support to develop healthy coping strategies. I also have experience working with caregivers, older adults, and aging-related concerns. My approach Every person and relationship is unique. I take the time to get to know my clients and foster a trusting relationship. My therapy style is client-centered and goal-oriented. I listen carefully to my clients’ stories and provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we identify positive ways to make changes based on their goals. I help clients draw upon their strengths to forge a new path forward. My focus I believe my approach suits adults in the middle stages of life facing challenges common to this phase: life transitions, caring for aging relatives, work-life balance stress, and family conflicts. I have extensive experience with older adults and caregivers in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice. I understand the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take and offer goal-focused solutions to help manage stress. Additionally, I have experience in medical social work, supporting individuals facing challenges related to chronic illness. My communication style I strive to create a nonjudgmental, client-focused environment. I am an empathetic listener and take pride in understanding my clients’ stories. I also believe that sharing a smile and a laugh goes a long way. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up in a family that spent much of its time volunteering at various organizations, inspiring my commitment to helping others.
