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.

Welcome Dr. Amanda Rose

I am excited to be joining Skaneateles Psychology Associates, where I will be offering therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Making the decision to seek therapy for yourself or your child can sometimes be challenging. In my practice, I prioritize providing a safe, validating environment and a non-judgmental relationship where we can work through difficulties together.

I work well with individuals struggling with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, school and behavioral challenges, stress, family issues, as well as everyday parenting and co-parenting difficulties. I offer both parent training work in connection with individual therapy, as well as parent consultation. I have worked in college counseling centers and also specialize in adjustment to college and post-college transitions. I have additional training in both Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I incorporate skills from these areas into my approach. When working with younger children, I also make use of play therapy techniques to help facilitate emotional expression, problem solving, and parent-child connections. Together, we can find the best way to meet your therapy goals. I look forward to being part of the team at Skaneateles Psychology Associates and serving the needs of the local community.
