Have you been through something so painful that it feels too heavy to carry on your own? Hi, I’m Manuela Aguilar, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming life experiences. Many of the folks I see are healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, or other deeply distressing events and are looking for a safe place to feel like themselves again.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in CBT, and I tailor therapy to what you need most. Sometimes that means learning practical coping tools for day-to-day life; other times, it means making gentle space to process deeper experiences. Above all, I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, safe, and free to move at your own pace.
In our first session, we’ll simply talk about what’s bringing you to therapy—no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. We’ll go slowly and check in often so it feels manageable. Over time, my hope is that you’ll feel more grounded, more confident, and better equipped with tools you can lean on in everyday life.
