Arisbei Palomino

Hi, I’m Arisbei Palomino, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, and major life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting women through experiences such as navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, motherhood, and other seasons of change. I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you're balancing the needs of others while trying to care for yourself. My goal is to create a warm, empowering, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring what’s been weighing on you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling in your relationships, or hoping to reconnect with yourself, we'll work together to help you gain clarity, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels right for you.

Our work will honor your experiences, build on your strengths, and focus on meaningful changes that feel right for you. We'll explore how anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, women's issues, and trauma may be affecting your emotional well-being, while also considering how family dynamics, major life transitions, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and questions of identity may shape your experiences. I draw from Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help you process difficult experiences and explore how they may influence your thoughts and feelings, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to identify your strengths and develop realistic steps toward your goals, and Strengths-Based Therapy to help you recognize and build on the abilities and resources you already possess. I also incorporate Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how past and present relationships influence your sense of security and connection, and Motivational Interviewing to help you clarify your priorities and feel more confident navigating change. Our sessions will be collaborative and compassionate, giving you space to explore your emotions, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical strategies for managing life's challenges. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, connected, and confident in your ability to create a life that reflects your values and needs. move toward greater balance and well-being.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, talk about what has brought you to therapy, and begin exploring what you hope to gain from our work together. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. We'll take time to understand your experiences, discuss the challenges you've been facing, and identify what matters most to you right now. Together, we'll develop goals that feel meaningful and realistic, using your strengths and experiences to guide our work. I want you to feel comfortable sharing openly, asking questions, and exploring difficult feelings without worrying about judgment or pressure. As we continue, we'll work on practical strategies that fit your everyday life and help you manage stress, navigate transitions, improve relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Whether you're working through a difficult chapter, adjusting to a new stage of life, or simply hoping to feel more balanced, my goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and more confident about the possibilities ahead.
