Hi, I’m Katey Thiry, PMHNP 💙

My own journey with PTSD shaped everything about how I practice today. Living with mental illness taught me about empathy, healing, and finding strength in vulnerability—and it fuels my passion for helping others who are still struggling.

I believe healing involves mind, body, AND spirit. In my practice, I use medication management as a powerful tool to help patients stabilize and regain control. But I also encourage holistic approaches like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, exercise, and nutrition.

Mental health is interconnected with everything else in our lives, and lasting recovery means addressing the whole person.

I work with individuals of all ages and diagnoses, meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey. Everyone deserves care, attention, and understanding—no matter what they’re facing.

My goal? To empower you to thrive and live a fulfilling life.

Let’s heal together ✨I’m currently accepting new patients at our South Hills location!

Your AI Therapist Will Not See You Soon 🚫🤖

Recent headlines say otherwise. From leaked private chats showing up on Google searches, to AI “therapists” giving dangerous advice, to tragic real-world consequences.

Real therapists complete master's programs, supervised internships, license exams, and are held accountable by state boards.

AI? It co-ruminates. It agrees. It normalizes suffering without healthy processing. And there's zero accountability.

Mental health is nuanced, deeply human work. While AI can suggest self-help resources, it cannot and should not replace the empathy, ethics, and expertise of a trained professional.

If you're struggling, please reach out to a real human. Your story deserves more than an algorithm. 💙

Does tylenol taken in pregnancy cause autism?

Correlation is not the same as causation. It's like how ice cream sales and drownings both spike in summer - but ice cream isn't drowning anyone. The real culprit? Hot weather drives both up.

Same here: pregnant moms taking more Tylenol might have infections or health issues that are the actual factors.

Sometimes the best way to help isn't to help at all 💙

We've all been there - you want to share your struggles, but your partner immediately jumps into fix-it mode. Or you're the one offering solutions, wondering why they seem frustrated with your "help."

This well-intentioned disconnect is one of the most common relationship challenges, yet it's completely fixable once you understand what's really happening underneath.

The solution isn't about who's right or wrong - it's about recognizing what your partner actually needs in the moment.
