Ally Padilla, LPC
Clinical Director, Therapist
**Ally is not taking new clients and will be on maternity leave from November 29, 2024-February 2025. ** As a native to the Shenandoah Valley and an official “townie,” I cannot imagine a world without college students.

Cara Huber, MSSW, Supervisee in Social Work

Evan Pergrim, MA
Therapist, Resident in Counseling

work each and every day and I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of your journey. Read Full Bio.
