Our Staff
Aneela Shah
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
I hold a master’s degree in Counseling from Cambridge College and have over 13 years of experience in coaching, advising, and counseling.
I enjoy listening to people’s life stories and naturally develop close relationships with them. I love helping people through personal challenges, help ease emotional burdens, and empower them to achieve a healthier mindset.
My style of psychotherapy is rooted in Internal Family System, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy that comes from strengths-based perspective to assist you in reaching your goals and finding balance in life
I strive to provide a safe, collaborative experience for my clients, combining empathy with professional excellence to guide the therapeutic process. I work from a client-centered perspective and believe that we all have the power to heal ourselves. My job is to help facilitate your healing process.
Outside of the therapy room, I am a proud mom of two children. I also enjoy cooking, reading, hiking, and traveling. I believe that each one of us can be fulfilled in our lives. If you are ready to explore what is getting in your way and figure out what to do next, then give me a call!
I welcome diversity including all races, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, genders, and political views.

I specialize in helping clients build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve their personal and academic goals.
Beyond clinical work, I am passionate about mental health advocacy, cognitive restructuring techniques, and fostering emotional intelligence. These interests shape my holistic perspective on mental health, allowing me to support clients in cultivating long-term growth and self-awareness.
I am deeply committed to creating a safe and empowering environment where clients feel understood, supported, and motivated to thrive. Together, we can work toward meaningful change and a brighter future.
