Our HistoryOur History

Change Within Reach was founded in 2015 by Anna Gershelis, Ph.D., LCSW with the goal of providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to individuals and families in our community. With a vision of holistic and personalized care, Dr. Gershelis created a welcoming space where clients could explore their challenges and work toward meaningful emotional and psychological well-being. What began as a small private practice has since grown into a thriving clinic.

As the demand for quality care increased, Change Within Reach expanded its services, assembling a team of highly skilled therapists who bring diverse expertise and approaches to support the wide-ranging needs of our clients. Though we’ve grown over the years, the founding mission remains at the heart of Change Within Reach: to empower individuals to find strength and healing, making lasting change truly within reach.
