Dr. Todd R. Avellar
As a licensed psychologist I am competent working with most presenting issues. I specialize in mindfulness meditation and holistic forms of healing, working with LGBTQIA+ and other sexual and gender minorities, and helping people heal after breaking up with a loved one. I am also dedicated to supervising and training the next generation of psychologists.
My style of therapy blends Person/Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Contemplative & Buddhist Psychology, Interpersonal Process Therapy, and Career Counseling.
I am passionate about healthy living through nutrition and exercise, spending time in nature, high-performance driving, flow-states, and spoiling my beloved kitties, Roy, Katie, and Tails. Check out my services page to learn more about what I can offer you!
