Therapeutic Approach

Heartwalker Psychotherapy LLC is the private practice of Dr. Denise McMorrow, located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA.  

Denise's work is about creating the conditions for people to connect with an authentic sense of depth, integrity, vitality, and sacredness within themselves, in relationship with others, and in relationship to the more-than-human-world of nature. She welcomes each client as a whole and complex person whose symptoms can be heard as meaningful communications about how one's life and relationships may need tending and deeper conscious awareness or participation. 

Denise's work with each client is individualized according to their unique needs, which are explored in depth during the initial sessions. Her integrative approach supports the exploration of patterns and the recovery of connection to aspects of the self that may be experienced as fragmented, lost, or seeking development in one's life.  Her stance invites clients to come into a deeper relationship with the heart, as a vital and sacred complement to the mind.
