Hi there, I'm Edward!

Hi, my name is Edward Pagella. I have my Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I am a Client-Centered Therapist who also utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help resolve all the issues of my clients. I have over 30 years of experience in providing counseling services to a variety of individuals who have issues such as anxiety, marital, behavioral disorders, self-esteem, substance abuse, and depression. I also work with the LGBTQ community to help individuals grow into their true self and athletes looking for focus and motivation.

My approach

I am a Client-Centered Therapist who also utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help resolve the issues that my clients are experiencing.

My focus

I work with individuals who have various issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, behavioral disorders, substance abuse, marital problems, LGBTQ issues depression, and sports motivation.

My communication style

I am a Christian who utilizes a positive motivational approach. You will feel uplifted with a new direction in life and have a positive attitude in life. Remember, attitude is everything...The way we walk, the way we talk, and the way we present ourselves to everyone....Believe in yourself and you will achieve greatness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to becoming a therapist because I had a big nose growing up and was made fun of by all the kids. I was called "ski slope" "banana face" and other horrible statements. When I had my nose fixed when I was 18, it changed my life. I decided when I went to college I was going to help others that may have felt like I did. Thus, I got my undergraduate degree in Psychology and my Masters Degree in counseling. I strive to make people feel good about themselves.

My goals for you

In every session, we will set up goals for our next session so that each day and every week we are seeing results of our ability to overcome any issue.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will get to know each other, what to expect during our sessions, and how you will achieve your goals.
