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.

Peter Cellarius
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SEP
I left a successful career as a high tech executive because I knew there was more to life than money. I saw hurt and pain and I wanted to help. Whether you are encountering challenges in your relationship or dealing with anxiety, stress, or depression – there is still hope. We can work together. You don’t have to encounter it alone.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults from every walk of life and in diverse circumstances. What nearly all have in common is that they tell me that things don’t feel manageable anymore. Life has gotten out of hand, and feelings like anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and disappointment seem to be taking over – if they haven’t already. Some might think they are “going crazy!” Others feel selfish because they crave self-care and a break from never being enough.
My job (and privilege) is to come alongside you to provide support, feedback, and help you better understand things and make plans to improve things. Sometimes, I will validate feelings that you’ve discounted or point out challenges you’ve grown so accustomed to that you brush them aside, even though they are part of what trips you up. Together, we’ll gain perspectives and insights about how to make things better.
In session, we will review the week for clues about what to focus on. We will talk about how things went and how they could have turned out better. I’ll ask many questions, listen a lot, and work with you to identify options for improving life. You’ll tear up sometimes, but you’ll be surprised how often we chuckle.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often comment on my intuition and presence with them. As a therapist who focuses on building authentic relationships, it is one of my strengths. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood. It is an honor to share my clients' experiences with them and go on this therapeutic journey together. Rooted in knowledge and experience, I support healing and growth while guiding clients toward a more whole and compassionate sense of self.
