Anokhi approaches therapy with the belief that each person’s story holds value, and healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, she work alongside adolescents, young adults, adults, as they navigate the challenges of everyday life whether it’s anxiety, overwhelm, emotional ups and downs, or simply feeling stuck.

TRAUMA-INFORMED Dana works with adolescents and young adults. She believes that everyone—no matter their age, culture, values, or background—deserves a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a place where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Dana aims to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves while working toward meaningful and lasting change. “I also use humor thoughtfully in sessions, honoring the depth and vulnerability of what you choose to share—because healing and laughter can absolutely coexist.” “As a trauma-informed clinician, I understand how difficult life experiences can shape emotional well-being, relationships, and how we see ourselves. Trauma can make it hard to feel safe, hopeful, or confident, and the journey toward healing often takes time. I approach therapy with patience, compassion, and respect for your pace, supporting you as you reconnect with your strengths, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding.” Dana’s approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. These methods help clients develop practical coping strategies, regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and set achievable goals. She tailors therapy to each individual, collaborating closely to help you create the quality of life you envision for yourself. “I believe therapy is a partnership. My role is to provide guidance, support, and tools, while creating a space where you feel safe to explore your emotions, reflect on your experiences, and grow at a pace that feels right. Together, we can tackle challenges, uncover strengths, and even share moments of humor and lightness along the way.”

** HUSKY IN PERSON AVAILABILITY** I enjoy working with college students and young adults who are navigating the challenges that often come with this stage of life. College is a time of growth and possibility, but it can also bring a lot of pressure. Many students I work with feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or uncertainty about their future while trying to balance academics, work, and expectations from others. In addition to being a therapist, I am also an adjunct college professor, so I understand the realities students face both inside and outside the classroom. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and reaching out is often the first and most important step. My goal is to support students’ mental health while helping them recognize their strengths and find a path through higher education that feels authentic to who they are.

Shoreline Wellness Center places a focus on talk therapy (psychotherapy) to help patients better manage the stress they encounter in their daily life. Working with a therapist has many benefits, such as coping with feelings, facing and solving problems, or changing behavioral patterns that are leading to some of your symptoms. In therapy, we don’t just talk about problems. The main goal is to develop a reasonable and doable solution. Sometimes you may have “homework” to complete for your therapist. This may include something like tracking your moods throughout the day, journaling about your thoughts, going out of your way to be social, or joining in activities that caused you to feel anxious in the past. Your therapist may even suggest for you to try to look at things differently or to learn new skills to use in your everyday life. Therapy focuses on current and past thoughts, feelings, and issues. Both are important, as they may very well be connected in some way. Discussing your challenges and having an open dialogue is the key to finding the solution to help your present and prepare for your future.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with college life? Do you find yourself struggling with big emotions and low self-esteem? Being a college student today is already really, really tough! College students today need to keep up with school, friends, and the constant pressure of social media. It's no wonder they are feeling more anxious and depressed than ever before (the rates keep rising!). It's enough to make anyone feel like skipping school to hide out and binge on the latest Netflix obsession instead of facing the day-to-day challenges.
