How to choose therapists in Pittsburgh

  • Check that the provider is licensed. You can look up any Pennsylvania medical license on the Department of State's PALS website.
  • Confirm that they accept your insurance plan and whether you need a referral from your primary care doctor.
  • Look at hospital affiliations. Many Pittsburgh practices belong to a larger health system, which makes referrals and records easier.
  • Ask about wait times for new patients, telehealth visits and after-hours coverage.
  • Read recent patient reviews, but focus on patterns (communication, billing, wait times) rather than one-off complaints.
