Co-Founder, Clinical Director
My belief is that anyone can benefit from the powerful tool of therapy, especially during these exceedingly difficult times. We need to ensure we are utilizing the proper tools to help cope with these unprecedented circumstances and transitions in life. I am a licensed clinical therapist and have spent my career in local hospitals, where I worked with chronically ill adult, adolescent and pediatric populations, utilizing several therapeutic modalities.

I believe in the healing power of human connection provided in therapy. As a licensed clinical therapist, I offer a safe and compassionate space that invites such connection through encouraging open expression of my clients’ thoughts and feelings, free from judgment. I truly have enjoyed my 15+ years of experience working with children, adolescents and parents in nonprofit, hospital and military settings who seek to find comfort in the present and regain hope for the future.

Chelsea Czegledi
LLMSW, Advanced PMH Trained
I am committed to providing a warm, safe and judgment-free environment for young adults as well as those who are on the journey of parenthood. My belief is that every individual has the right to express their feelings, receive validation and have their voice be truly heard. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health as well as extensive expertise and experience in child development and in providing supportive services for young adults and parents of small children. I also find great joy in supporting individuals in their self-discovery process and in navigating the healing process from trauma.

Anthony Stevens
LLMSW, Advanced PMH Trained
I chose this path in life because of my strong belief that engaging in therapy on the journey of parenthood works and individuals and families directly benefit from compassionate support. Utilizing more than 20 years of experience working with children and adults, many living with severe chronic illness, I am able to integrate practical tools with clinical education and advanced perinatal mental health training to address a wide range of mental health challenges. I offer a compassionate space for teens and adults to openly express their emotions, thoughts and life experiences with honesty.

Sara Krahel
LLMSW, Advanced PMH Trained
As a disabled therapist and lifelong wheelchair user, I enjoy working with clients as they navigate life as a disabled or chronically ill person, partner, parent, or child and adapt to a largely inaccessible world. I want to work with clients to develop creative solutions for life’s challenges and strengthen your voice as a self-advocate. I aim to be a warm, positive, and consistent source of support for clients as they undergo life transitions, explore their relationships with family and friends, and forge a path of self-determination by exploring their personal relationship with gender and sexuality.

Mike Shihadeh
LLPC, Advanced PMH Trained
Witnessing the profound impact of suicide in my community deeply motivated me to explore what caused someone to experience such pain. My childhood was filled with exploring physiology and sociological phenomena that evolved into a passion for mental health and providing therapy to those in need. My mission is to serve you on your unique journey toward mental wellness. I believe in an approach tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. What works for one person might not work for another, and together, we’ll find what works best for you.
Our sessions will emphasize collaboration. Through frequent check-ins, we’ll assess the effectiveness of our strategies and techniques, ensuring we’re on the right path. I strive to create a warm, welcoming and supportive environment where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions. Raised in a collectivist family within an individualistic society, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. This dual experience has given me a unique perspective on the complexities of navigating two distinct systems simultaneously.
With a foundation in evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive-behavioral, Mindfulness-based, and Logo Therapy, I aim to provide you with the tools and skills necessary to achieve your goals. My continuous learning, including recent workshops like Gottman’s Couples Therapy and training in EMDR and Prenatal therapy, ensures that I bring the latest and most effective strategies to our sessions, and I’m committed to continuous professional development.

Talia Alsawah
LPC, Advanced PMH Trained
I understand therapy can feel daunting, and throughout my 10 years of practice, I have come to believe that empathy and genuine understanding are the cornerstones of therapy. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients feel free to explore their emotions and thoughts. Having a multicultural background myself, I appreciate the significance of cultural diversity in shaping one’s identity and experiences. I recognize the impact of cultural beliefs, traditions, and values on mental health, and I am committed to incorporating cultural sensitivity into my therapeutic approach. I actively promote an inclusive environment where clients can freely express their cultural experiences without fear of judgment. If you’re ready to begin your journey towards well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way..

Jamie DeKraker
LMSW-C, Advanced PMH Trained
Sharing some of your most vulnerable experiences with another individual can be overwhelming. My hope is that when you believe it is yours or your child’s time to take next steps, that I can provide a comfortable and safe environment to promote healing and empowerment. I look forward to taking the next step with you to begin the process.

Samantha Gumul
LMSW-C, Advanced PMH Trained
As a therapist, I specialize in working with women who may be experiencing a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Studies show that 1 in 5 mothers experience anxiety or depression within the first year postpartum. It is important to me that you feel supported to openly discuss your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences. My therapy style is comforting, authentic and conversational.
“I can never possibly express my thanks enough for my supportive experience in therapy with Healing Home Counseling Group. I went from struggling to thriving and planning joyfully for the future.”
