Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Arlene!

As a therapist, I possess extensive experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, and assisting individuals with substance use issues. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCASA), with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families in overcoming mental health and addiction challenges. I provide an open, non-judgmental environment that allows you to connect with yourself, fostering growth, healing, and hope for the future. My aspiration is to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself.

Let's get started on this journey together!

My approach to therapy

I do not believe in promising clients a “quick fix” or suggesting that I have all the answers. Instead, I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where communication is open, you feel respected and empowered to explore your experiences, gain insight, and through self-exploration to move toward healing and personal growth.

Remember, therapy is a relationship, a collaboration, a sacred space- just the place to learn how to be healthy.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a warm and supportive space where we will discuss the reasons that led you to seek therapy and your aspirations for the future.

Together, we will thoroughly investigate your past and present as you embark on this courageous journey to shape your new reality. I intend to work alongside you to establish goals and customize services that align with your needs and transformation.

It is an honor to accompany and support you through this process.
