Jacqueline Petruzzi

Jacqueline Petruzzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in supporting families navigating complex behavioral and emotional challenges. With over a decade of experience, she focuses on managing difficult dynamics between parents and children (ages 2 and up), addressing concerns such as ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, she utilizes her background in neuroscience to help families understand the neurobiology of attachment.

A key component of her practice is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), where she provides coaching and effective parenting solutions to manage big emotions and behaviors. Her approach emphasizes that while addressing a child's emotional needs is vital, supporting the parent through these transitions is equally essential for long-term progress. She offers specialized support for various issues including OCD, eating disorders, and school-related challenges.

Services are provided via convenient teletherapy (video therapy), allowing families to receive care from the comfort of their own homes. Jacqueline Petruzzi is currently accepting new clients and accepts several insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Highmark, Optum, UHC, and UPMC. She provides an inclusive environment as an ally to LGBTQ+, non-binary, and racial justice-focused clients.
