Gavyn Pellicori, LCSW

Hi, I’m Gavyn Pellicori. I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping individuals and families move through stuck points—whether it's with self-worth, body image, anxiety, or perfectionism.

TO MY IDEAL CLIENT: You might look like you're managing just fine on the outside, but inside you're feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you’re navigating a big life transition, feeling the weight of old patterns, or simply longing to feel more confident, grounded, and emotionally connected. That’s where I come in.

With a warm, collaborative approach (and often with my therapy dog, Graham, by my side), I support clients in exploring the roots of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and body image distress. Together, we build tools for lasting change—rooted in self-acceptance, not shame.

Whether you’re here for individual support or seeking therapy for your child, teen, or family, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where healing feels possible. If you're ready to take the next step toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Graham Pellicori

Certified Therapy Dog · Gentle Companion · Expert Snuggler

Graham Pellicori is a certified therapy dog and beloved co-therapist at our practice. A Bernese Mountain Dog with a calm, grounded (and sometimes a little goofy!) presence, Graham offers comfort, connection, and a sense of safety to clients of all ages. Whether he’s sitting quietly beside someone during a difficult moment or bringing a smile with his gentle nature, Graham helps create a welcoming, supportive space where healing can begin.

Graham is a steady, gentle presence who responds warmly to bids for connection. Whether it’s a quiet moment of petting or simply lying nearby, Graham helps many clients feel more grounded and supported just by being in the room.He takes his job seriously (especially when it comes to neck scratches and laying on the coolest spot in the room).

Clients often say that just having Graham nearby makes therapy feel a little less intimidating—and a lot more comforting.
