About Jason

Jason Rafalak, LCSW, MT-BC · Licensed Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA

I believe in destigmatizing therapy, and that everyone deserves support when faced with the inevitable challenges life throws at us. I don't believe in pathologizing neurodivergence, and strive to work with individuals to align their lives with their values and become their fully realized selves.

​

With over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health, nine of those years dedicated to working as a music therapist for individuals facing emotional and behavioral challenges, I have honed my skills in using eclectic methods, including music therapy, to process grief and trauma, depression, anxiety, and build self-esteem.

​

I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on neurodivergence. My areas of interest include autism and ADHD, which I have lived experience with.

​

I believe in meeting clients where they are as individuals and collaboratively creating a therapeutic space that is safe and healing. I also firmly believe that music can be a powerful tool to help individuals find their voice.

​

Outside of sessions, I love spending time with my family, playing and learning about music (I play upright and electric bass mainly), going for walks, playing games, and engaging in other various nerdy pursuits. 

 

I want therapy to be a calm, safe, and regulating space where someone can feel comfortable being themself, share thoughts and feelings, and feel seen as they work toward their goals.
