Whether you need support dealing with a current situation or want to address a longstanding issue, I can help. Many of my clients enter therapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with relationships, identity, loss and trauma. Others are seeking to achieve personal growth and reach their life goals. Psychotherapy offers a unique space where together, we work to identify, understand and resolve difficulties. By increasing awareness of their strengths and where they get stuck, clients gain clarity and insight into new solutions. Therapy with me provides lasting benefits: real change, peace of mind and new skills to take into the future.

The human experience is complicated! Big life changes, difficult emotions, and behaviors we don’t like all influence our day to day and can leave us feeling disconnected from what is important to us. I’m Philippa Panayiotou, licensed mental health counselor and anxiety specialist.

Sometimes life throws curves that seem to be insurmountable. Talking with a therapist can help you pay attention to and resolve the conflict that has gotten in the way of you having a more fulfilling life. Problems at work or school, inability to get a good night's rest, overeating are among the issues that you can't see as having you stuck. Depression or anxiety are real issues that must be worked through to get you back on track. Separation and loss are areas that can cause trauma. Trauma can be leaving home to go to college, the loss of a relationship, grief of loosing someone to death. Talking can get you through.

Welcome! When working with clients, I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and identity-affirming environment in which my clients can fully express themselves and explore the issues they may be facing. I work with individual clients using evidence-based treatments from multiple modalities, such as ACT, CBT, and CPT. I offer art as an optional tool for clients to engage with as they are exploring their thoughts and emotions. In addition, I provide talk therapy through a psychodynamic and person-centered lens, meaning my focus is on my clients and how their past experiences influence their current thoughts, emotions, and reactions.

As a trauma-informed mental health counselor, I specialize in working with disordered eating, body image concerns, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I bring my experience as a primary therapist at The Renfrew Center to help my clients with eating disorders develop new coping strategies and discover their inner strength. In therapy, I guide you through self-exploration to understand how your past influences your identity, behavior, and self-perception. My approach is supportive, empathetic, and free of judgment, creating a safe environment where you can confront challenging emotions and discover your own resilience.

I want to help those who want to make steps towards their goals but don't know how and/or join them in their journey even if we don't know where the end goal may be.

Sometimes in life stressful things happen. Sometimes we experience mental health issues that feel beyond our control. Our quality of life may suffer or we may struggle to reach our goals. I am here to help. I try to create a warm and nonjudgmental space for you to reflect and grow. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I have experience helping people with a variety of issues including stress, depression, relationship problems, and perinatal/postpartum concerns. I also enjoy helping couples learn to communicate more effectively and strengthen their friendship.

Often times we feel stressed, numb, irritable, sad, or overwhelmed; and we believe “that’s just life” or “it could be worse” so these are issues we just try to deal with. While all of these emotions are normal to endure at some point in our lives, you do not have to feel alone. A positive therapeutic experience is one of the most important factors to success in therapy because with the right connection and support, anyone can start to see change.

Are you exhausted by having the same struggles with your child or spouse day after day with no relief in sight? We often repeat similar patterns from our family of origin or conversely do the opposite. Either way we are stuck in a preordained negative cycle that we can not navigate alone. I have twenty five years of experience and training helping families change their communication patterns n a short term systemic model. These behaviors can actually perpetuate the very problems you are trying to solve!

With all that daily life requires of us, it is critical we maintain balance. I would love to work with you to help you learn and improve the necessary tools for you to manage your mental health needs.

Psychotherapy invites us to compassionately explore our personal history, deepen our understanding of ourselves in the present, and discover the strength to transform our future.

I have 15 years of experience working in the community with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, and other disorders as well. I’ve worked with adults, adolescents, and children in varied settings. In inpatient hospital settings, and partial hospital settings as well as at my private practice. I use varied therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the specific needs of my client. I utilize empathy and compassion to tailor my therapeutic interventions to the needs of you or your child. I can assist with family issues, behavioral issues, marital issues and psychiatric issues.

I work with adults, children, and families on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, addictions, grief, anger, family discord, and workplace distress. My goal is to bring warmth and acceptance to all my sessions and to provide clients with concrete skills that they can use to help solve their problems and live more fulfilling lives. I've worked in a variety of settings, including elementary and high schools, corrections, and employee assistance. In 2021, I launched a private practice.

I would like to offer my help to anyone who struggles with the current global situation. Right now many of us are struggling with increased stress and anxiety, as well as heavy emotions that might be coming up from unprocessed experiences from the past. Understanding the ways our nervous system and body handle stress and trauma can be very helpful in finding our way through the storm.

Having a partner as you make your way through emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, and significant life changes can make all the difference. In our work you are not alone as you navigate the world or in the work of building the life you want. I specialize in helping teens, college-age students, and adults experiencing life transitions to address challenges that are negatively impacting their wellness. I am passionate about helping people with depressive disorders, anxiety, traumatic/difficult pasts, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem, and concerns related to navigating LGBTQ+ identities.

Children/adolescents: Childhood can be a challenging time and, because children lack the experience and internal resources that adults have, they often express themselves through their behaviors. As a parent it can be hard to understand your child's behaviors or how to address them. In my practice I create a warm, fun, and safe environment and work to establish a trusting relationship so that we can explore your child’s thoughts and feelings. I work collaboratively with parents to help them gain insights into their child's behaviors and how to effectively meet their child’s needs.
