Welcome Dr. Robbi Saletsky!

If anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, or depression are keeping you from living the life you want, you don't have to face them alone. For more than 25 years, I've helped adults break free from the patterns that keep them stuck and build lives that feel more meaningful and fulfilling.

I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety disorders, and depression using proven, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. Together, we'll develop practical skills to help you manage difficult thoughts and emotions, face your fears with confidence, and create lasting change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique goals. Whether you've been struggling for years or are just beginning to seek help, therapy can make a real difference. I'd be honored to support you on that journey.

Welcome Dr. Chhavi Singhal!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step for yourself, your child, or your family, and my goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, as well as supporting families navigating challenges together. I have experience with individuals on the autism spectrum and those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, and parenting or family stress. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessments for ADHD and autism for school-age children through adolescents.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults exploring identity development, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is flexible and integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and psychodynamic therapy.

Whether you're seeking support for your child, hoping to better manage emotions, or working through family or life transitions, we’ll work together at a pace that feels comfortable. I believe healing happens through connection, and I’m here to help you take that next step.

Psychoanalytic Individual Supervision with Louis Scuderi, LCSW

Skaneateles Psychology Associates is very pleased to present a new offering for graduate students and early career clinicians: psychoanalytic individual supervision with Louis Scuderi, LCSW.

We believe it is highly beneficial to get additional supervision in the early stages of training, since there’s so much to learn and lots of opportunity to build one’s foundation as a therapist. Few graduate school and agency supervisors are psychoanalytically oriented and are often in dual roles, which complicates the supervisory process. Louis knows that sharing one’s work can feel vulnerable and is happy to offer a safe and supportive learning environment. Your work with Louis work will be strictly in the service of your development as a therapist, and cover areas such as: 

• Learning the basics of psychoanalytic technique

• Addressing common issues that come up in treatment

• Building confidence in oneself and developing one’s own style of working

• Understanding theory and how to apply it  

• Cultivating a psychoanalytic attitude that can be used inside and outside of clinical work

Louis has completed psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy training programs at the Karen Horney and Object Relations Institute in New York City, and have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings for nine years. Louis has extensive knowledge of the history of psychoanalysis and the clinical application of different theoretical approaches, especially the work of Freud, Winnicott, Bion, and André Green.

Price: $65 per session for students and new clinicians.

If interested, please contact Louis at lscuderi@skanpsych.com. You can learn more about Louis on our about page.
