Chris is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, a Licensed Professional Counselor, an AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. He is also a Psychoanalytic Candidate at the Center for Christianity & Psychoanalysis. After graduating from Wheaton College Graduate School with an MA in Clinical Psychology, he maintained a group private practice for 30 years.
He currently serves as Executive Director at Anathallo and maintains a small caseload working with individuals, couples, and families. He also provides supervision and case consultation for other therapists.

Earning her degree from Eastern University and Marywood University, Pam has spent the majority of her career as a therapist in a group private practice alongside Chris Zang, eventually joining him here at Anathallo in 2024.
Pam’s extensive experience and training have strengthened her empathetic and nonjudgmental presence. When working with clients, she uses that person’s unique story to help him/her discover how to move beyond reflexive coping choices and into more authentic, vibrant living within that story — not despite it. Having worked with many individuals in vocational ministry, she understands the complex dynamics involve in those positions.
Pamela, who was her own version of a pastor’s wife for 20 years, has been married for over 30 years now. Her husband currently serves as a hospice chaplain. Together, they had three children and endured a child being diagnosed with a rare illness — who found freedom from that illness since 2018. In her free time, she is a self-described city girl learning about flower gardening.
Tom has worked in the mental health field since 2009 and as a clinical therapist for more than 10 years. Having earned a BA in Psychology from Penn State University and an MA in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy, he uses a strengths-based approach, psychoeducation, CBT/DBT, Emotion-Focused, and Family Systems Therapy to support those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and other issues.
Ultimately, his goal is to work collaboratively with clients to help identify strengths and provide insight that can result in the application of a healthy path forward. Tom is a lifelong learner who enjoys married life, the outdoors, motorcycle riding, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
