Executive Director: Anjali Pinjala, Ph.D.

I approach therapy with a client-centered, interpersonal stance to create a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative working relationship. My approach is holistic, taking into consideration all aspects of my client's life. I focus on treating adults experiencing relationship problems, career concerns, anxiety, and depression. I combine practical guidance, education, and problem solving, along with facilitating insight into the roots causes of dysfunctional behavioral, emotional understanding, and relationship patterns.

Staff Therapist: Laura Almore

I believe that an essential element of the therapeutic process is the bond of trust established between the client and the therapist. I seek to establish a trusting relationship with the client by being genuine, using reflective listening, being empathetic, and by using encouragement. My experience expands from working with those from early childhood, teens, couples, single parents, and blended families. I seek to empower the client by training, coaching, and by supporting positive behavioral changes. One of my basic goals is to provide a safe place for the client to be transparent about different aspects of their life.

My clinical interests include: anger and stress management, conflict resolution, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. While I enjoy working with all populations, my passion is working with children and adolescents utilizing cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapeutic frameworks.

Staff Therapist: Michelle O'Neill

My approach of therapy is seen as a growth experience. It provides clients a chance to gain a better understanding of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I view my role as a counselor as one that facilitates that understanding through collaborative goal-setting, solution-focused problem solving, and psycho-education. My interests include working with children, adolescents, and families utilizing an eclectic approach to therapy which incorporates various models and techniques to best meet the needs of each individual client and help them discover resolution for personal life challenges.

My philosophy of therapy is rooted in finding and accentuating the strengths of the client. Using narrative and solution-focused models, I encourage the client to express their story as well as find solutions to challenges that he or she may be facing. Humor plays a large role in my therapy as well, learning to release stress and finding positives play a central role in overcoming many of life’s challenges. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy along with many other models to try to find what is most useful to the client. My interests include working with adolescents and their parents, depression, anger management, bullying and pre-marital/marital counseling.
