Arlene Balcarcel

Hi there, I'm Arlene!

I specialize in a strength-based, solution-focused approach to therapy. I use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support individuals facing depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered.

My focus

I specialize in working with young adults, middle-aged individuals, families, and couples facing a variety of challenges and life changes. My experience includes treating trauma, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and the unique complexities of critical illness.

My approach

I take a collaborative, strengths-based stance, focusing on your resilience and capacity for growth. I assess your unique needs and tailor the treatment plan to support your goals. Using CBT, I help you shift unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT techniques foster emotional regulation, mindfulness, and relational skills.
