Anca Sabo, MS, LMFT
Clinical Director/Owner/Lead Therapist
My name is Anca Sabo, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Clinical Supervisor. I am the founder of Hope Counseling Center. With a specialization in couples and family therapy, I provide a welcoming and sacred environment for individuals striving for deeper fulfillment within their most cherished relationships.
My approach is relational, easy to relate to, warm, and down-to-earth, which helps to foster a deep connection and trust within the therapeutic relationship. Within this supportive space, I draw from a variety of evidence-based methods tailored specifically to meet the needs of couples and families, such as: PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Sensorimotor Therapy (body-centered approach to understanding and treating trauma), and The Developmental Model for Couples Therapy.
For those who hold Christian faith, I offer Christian Integrated Therapy as a cornerstone of our work together. This approach affirms a Christian Worldview, discusses God’s role in your healing journey, and employs spiritual resources to help you connect more deeply with your faith, finding strength and guidance that aligns with your values.
The goal in our work together is to honor your journey toward hope, healing, and authentic connection.
Andreea Leka, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I consider it a privilege to walk through difficult seasons together, whether that looks like depression, anxiety, or a mixture of feelings too difficult to make sense of. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced different forms of trauma (physical, emotional, psychological, etc.). Following my graduate degree, I pursued Certification in Level 1 and Level 2 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with an emphasis in Trauma and Developmental Injury.
I have concluded that healing is usually not a single event but a continuum that takes intentional time and space. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that we are mind, body and spirit and as we address each part of ourselves, we can strive to become our most authentic self.
Jason Dumitru, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I specialize in working with males (adolescent or adult) struggling with a wide range of issues; in particular, identity issues/crises, life transitions, difficulty with relationships, and/or anxiety/depression. I utilize a more direct approach to therapy, similar to coaching, yet explore with clients the underlying therapeutic themes that are fueling their struggles.
In addition to my area of specialization, I also enjoy working with couples that desire a spiritual focus in their relational growth but find themselves stuck in communication, connection and/or commitment.
I take a non-judgmental, yet directive approach to therapy, allowing clients to speak freely and be emotionally vulnerable while providing guidance, discernment and hope.
Bianca Bennett, LAC
Licensed Associate Counselor
I am deeply compassionate towards those in pain and find immense fulfillment in witnessing individuals embrace lives filled with joy and purpose. Sharing joy is a profound expression of our humanity. While the road to healing may be challenging, it also holds countless transformative moments of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and personal and relational growth. As a counselor, my mission is to walk alongside my clients on their path towards reclaiming joy and fulfillment, supporting them every step of the way.
My work focuses on aiding adults, teenagers, and children grappling with personal or relational challenges. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved traumas, or navigating through a period of uncertainty, I'm here to guide you through your healing process. Together, we'll delve into your life's difficulties, uncover their roots, and equip you with tools, insights, and clear direction to alleviate symptoms and find hope. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Family Therapy, I approach therapy through a Family Systems and Attachment framework, fostering an understanding of tools within the broader context of self and relational connections.
Mark Grochocki, LAMFT
Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I have a passion for helping marriages, families and individuals heal the painful parts of their lives that have held them back from thriving in every area of their life. The family system, whether our family of origin or our current family, plays such an important part in shaping the way we see and operate in this world and I am excited to help people learn how to operate and thrive within their family systems. Through my training at Fuller Theological Seminary and my 15 years as a pastor in the local church, I have gained an appreciation for relational dynamics seeing how there is hope for everyone no matter what type of trauma or pain one may have experienced in life. I have also been trained in Level 1 and Level 2 of the Gottman Method of Couples Training and I am a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator and SYMBIS facilitator.
In session I use a variety of methodologies based on what may be most beneficial for that session including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative therapy, Solution focused therapy and others through the guidance of professional peers and supervisors. I have learned that to help clients heal and be successful in their relationships and in life it takes patience and working together to achieve success and healing.
Estera Moldovan, LAC
Licensed Associate Counselor
Hello, I'm Estera, a Licensed Associate (LAC) based in Arizona. Parenthood can be a complex journey, filled with challenges and moments of overwhelming responsibility as we strive to offer our children the best love, care, and safety possible. Throughout life's twists and turns, frustrations may arise, impacting our children's development. Together, we can empower you and your child(ren) with the skills needed to overcome obstacles and flourish as a resilient and purposeful individual.
With a background in Human Services and Educational Counseling, complemented by additional coursework in clinical counseling, I bring a diverse skill set to my practice. My approach combines evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether working with parents and children or with adults facing life's challenges, my goal remains the same: to foster growth and well-being.
Beyond my work with youth and families, I also offer therapy for adult individuals grappling with life's complexities. Together, we can take intentional steps towards healing and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity. As Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, seeking guidance from a variety of counselors leads to wisdom and safety.
