Kaitlyn Cardenas

Administrative Team

I am grateful to be a part of the Hope Counseling Pittsburgh community while I pursue my own journey to becoming a counselor. I want to be a comforting and welcoming presence to those coming into the office or reaching out for services for the first time. Making that first call takes a lot of courage  and I want to help clients get started and know they are in a safe space. Supporting counselors and clients with logistics is something I see a lot of value and reward in doing!

I have three amazing school-aged children- one son and two daughters, and live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. While not in the office, I am on my laptop doing graduate work for my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. I love the field of mental health because it has been so personally impactful in my own spiritual growth. I am an avid reader, nature walker, and coffee drinker, all of which I enjoy doing with friends. I also love to sing in my church's choir and am joining my girls by volunteering in a local children's choir. If you see me driving, I am singing along to worship/gospel music, musicals, bluegrass, and singer-songwriters.
