Dr. Sasha R. Sioni

DBH, MPH, LMHC · Licensed Mental Health Counselor


Most people who come to me aren’t confused about what’s wrong. They’re frustrated it keeps happening.

My main focus is ADHD evaluations: giving adults and adolescents a clear diagnostic answer and written documentation for their prescriber. I also work with individuals and couples on anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns that repeat.

How I approach therapy

People don’t get stuck because they’re weak. They get stuck because a coping strategy that once helped has started to create problems.

Therapy here balances:

  • Understanding the pattern (insight)
  • Building tools to change it (skills)
  • Creating a plan that fits real life (integration)
