Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I know what it is like to struggle with issues like depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. I have learned in my own journey that it is possible to get better. All along the way is progress and small steps towards the life you want to live. My approach is to move beyond simply talking through issues and help you get to the roots where the healing can be done. I incorporate a number of tools and skills that are customized for your needs. I will help you figure out what is causing you to struggle and we will to work together to navigate through it.
I promise to listen, to be fair and open-minded, to not judge, and to be kind and compassionate. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for more information.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
I approach therapy from a humanistic and spiritual perspective meaning I believe you are a whole and complete person who is struggling with some aspect of their life. If you need a non-judgmental champion on your side, Dr. Chad is here for you. I firmly believe that your challenges are growth opportunities, not punishments. The struggles are opportunities to bring compassion into your life. One of my therapy gifts is helping you see the lessons or blessings (or both) you have faced while empowering you to live up to your greatness while nurturing your capacity for compassionate self-love. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you better understand yourself.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.
