About

At the heart of Elise Glad's therapeutic approach lies a profound belief in the power of holistic, person-centered care. As a Certified Sex Therapist and National Certified Counselor at Calm Pittsburgh, Elise embraces her role as a compassionate sounding board for her clients, skillfully untangling their web of thoughts and transforming them into a well-made blanket of understanding and growth.

Elise's expertise spans a wide range of specialties, including anxiety and depression, couples therapy, family therapy, postpartum depression and support for pregnant women, as well as various aspects of sex therapy. Her diverse client base encompasses adolescents aged 12-18, adults, and couples, whom she serves through virtual sessions.

With a strong educational foundation, Elise holds a bachelor of science degree in psychology from Saint Vincent College, complemented by an addictions specialist certificate. She further honed her skills by obtaining a master's in clinical mental health counseling from California University of Pennsylvania, a CACREP-accredited institution. Her certification as a Sex Therapist through the International Board of Sexuality Professionals (IBOSP) underscores her commitment to providing comprehensive care in this specialized field.

Elise's professional journey has been marked by valuable experiences that inform her practice. Her undergraduate work as a Substance Abuse Intervention Coordinator provided her with keen insights into substance use issues and effective strategies for success. Additionally, her time at WVU Medicine, where she worked in both opioid treatment and sexual health, has equipped her with a broad spectrum of experience to draw upon when assessing and addressing client needs.
