Life can be challenging causing anxiety and self doubt however your feelings matter and sometimes it is not easy to talk about them. My background with working in a mental health facility, hospital, education and child welfare have provided me with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, individuals and families providing therapy to cope with various life transitions.

I am a licensed social worker with 20 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most vulnerable and challenging experiences. I work with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, fertility challenges, pregnancy, and postpartum adjustment. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood while building tools to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I love working with people who feel drawn to explore their inner world, who sense there’s something meaningful waiting to be discovered but aren’t sure where to start. They long to feel more connected to themselves and others, and are looking for gentle guidance to help them get there. They want to understand the heart of what keeps them stuck in old patterns and finally feel the freedom of being their true selves.

Working with people has been a great passion of mine. I also enjoy the counseling process and getting to see people become successful in their goals.

Hello, I’m Sahana Pentyala, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to helping individuals, families, and organizations strengthen their emotional resilience and achieve lasting well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based clinical practices with a deep understanding of how physical, emotional, and social health intersect — an approach shaped by my specialization in Integrated Health. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and professionals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, life transitions, and burnout. I believe that healing begins with understanding — and I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, validated, and supported in your journey toward balance and growth.

I've been a clinician for 15 years. I use an active, direct, engaged style with a variety of approaches that aims to help my clients identify and change negative thought patterns; explore how past experiences, and unconscious conflicts might be influencing their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; gain a deeper understanding of themselves, using their inherent strengths, resilience, and positive qualities to help them improve their well-being. I provide an integrative holistic approach in a warm, supportive, non-judgmental and safe atmosphere for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts and relationships.

I am a therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self‑compassion. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process—one where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. In my work with individuals, I help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns, especially those that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from what matters most. I draw from evidence‑based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive‑behavioral principles, to support clients in building psychological flexibility, coping more effectively with stress, and moving toward values‑driven goals. Rather than focusing solely on “fixing” symptoms, I work with clients to change their relationship with difficult experiences and to build skills that support long‑term growth. As a couples therapist, I support partners in strengthening communication, deepening emotional connection, and navigating conflict in healthier ways. I help couples identify unhelpful interaction patterns, increase understanding of one another’s experiences, and develop practical tools for responding with greater awareness and intention. Couples work often focuses on clarifying shared values, improving emotional safety, and learning how to stay connected even during challenging moments. My approach is trauma‑informed, strengths‑based, and tailored to each client or couple’s unique needs, background, and goals. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and grounded in collaboration. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, relationship concerns, or life transitions, my goal is to help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and alignment with what matters most to you.

As a therapist I view my role as a colloborative one in which you are the expert. I will work with you to focus on goals, potential solutions, and future possibilities. I believe people have many resources, internal and external, for coping and healing that can be put to use for positive change. I have a particular interest life role issues, managing the stressors of daily life, and helping to alleviate anxiety.

I work with deep feelers, overthinkers, cycle-breakers, and people in transition who are ready to release the old emotional stories they no longer want to live inside. My approach is warm, intuitive, grounded, and collaborative. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, protective responses, and inner agreements that may have formed through pain, survival, heartbreak, family dynamics, identity shifts, or repeated relational wounds. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand what their emotions are trying to protect, and begin relating to themselves with more clarity, compassion, and choice. My work supports emotional release, self-trust, nervous system awareness, healthier boundaries, and the gradual return to one’s own voice, body, truth, and power.

I'm a compassionate mental health counselor (LMHC) with a passion for empowering individuals to achieve their goals.

My passion is helping women—especially during pregnancy and motherhood—prioritize their emotional wellbeing, reconnect with themselves, and find balance through life’s transitions.

I will let people with whom I worked over the years tell you about me: "Joel focuses on the issues at hand, because he listens very intently. Doesn't get into any psychobabble and provides clear insight to moving forward. Joel encouraged positive takeaways from all sessions." "He s attentive, professional, personable, and kind." "We were able as a family to have Joel's ear as an outside observer. He could extract the most important take away from all that we were working on together and put them into concrete terms. It helped bring clarity and structure to all the things we were trying to do. Having appointments with Joel also helped us to be accountable for the work. Therapy is work. We have to consciously make changes to see the improvements... Joel helped us to stay accountable. " When I came to see Joel I was in a bad place - personally and professionally. I was dealing with unresolved grief and that was impacting my habits and behaviors. After a few short sessions with Joel I started the road back to being the person who I believe myself to be. It has been about 6 months since my first session with Joel - I am now working a good job, I have returned to a hobby that I love and I just completed my first semester of a degree program towards a more rewarding profession (and earned a 4.0 GPA!). Joel helped me realize that I had the ability to determine my own course in life and helped me develop positive habits to achieve my goals." If you want to know more you can visit www.0to10.net.
