John Abad, LCPC
Hello, my name is John Abad, LCPC. I work with ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. My focus areas are Anxiety, Coping Skills, Emotional Disturbance, Parenting, and Stress. I believe in utilizing my preference in various modalities and focusing on developing talents and interests. Compared to the average therapist, I am very eclectic and often apply various psychological theories in my practice. I also have various years of experience in clinical supervision and outpatient managerial positions, as I have been a multi-program director for several years. Theories/theorists I know about = CBT, Psychoanalysis, object-relations, schema therapy, Dabrowski, Broffenbrenner, Sternberg’s love triangle, Maslow, Bowlby+Ainsworth, Festinger, Nassim Taleb, Jungian, motivational interviewing, Prochaska, Mahler’s stages, Kubler-Ross, Bowlby not just with Ainsworth, etc. Also, I am a U.S. Marine infantry veteran, A 1/4 raiders, OEF and OIF. Honorable discharge.
I'm usually directive but will be open to your requests regarding where to take the session. I am confident in my knowledge, which shows in sessions when I try to persuade you of something I find evidence-based. At the same time, I allow free debate and agenda setting. I encourage patient honesty. I respect critical thinking and honesty driven free thought from myself and my patient.
What to expect at first? I must gather primary general mental health data and create a treatment plan. Thus, I would ask about mental health history, social support network, expectations about therapy, confidentiality, and more. I use simple practice as my EHR, and thus, will send out a link upon availability.

Tania Chapper, M.A.
Bilingual - Spanish & English
Life can be difficult, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I am here to support you through your healing process, helping you to understand and transform the thinking and relational patterns that are holding you back. My aim is to create a warm and affirming therapeutic environment where you feel secure in exploring your emotions and discovering more about yourself. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and strive to build a genuine connection based on compassion and empathy. My passion lies in empowering clients to move forward and achieve their life goals.
As a bilingual Latina mental health professional, I bring a multicultural perspective that allows me to connect with and be sensitive to cultural and racial issues. Recognizing the impact of intersectionality and societal factors on mental health is integral to my practice.
I understand that everyone’s life journey is unique, which is why I customize my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs. I see therapy as a collaborative and creative process where we work together to find meaningful solutions and foster a more fulfilling and peaceful life. My professional background includes extensive experience in non-profit community settings and private practice, where I have developed expertise in treating acute, complex, and intergenerational trauma, as well as issues related to grief, loss, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, immigration, acculturation, and the stress of racism and oppression.
My clinical practice is grounded in a relational psychodynamic framework. I employ a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach to provide holistic care for individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs.
