Araina Lynn Hennen, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Araina Lynn!

I am committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health support. I bring a diverse skill set to help individuals navigate life's challenges.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals facing addiction, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, depression, drug abuse, dual diagnosis, grief, impulsivity, job stress, legal stress, and substance use.

My approach

My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I tailor my interventions to each client's unique needs, fostering a supportive environment for growth and healing.

My communication style

Building a strong therapeutic alliance is at the core of my practice. I believe in open, honest, and non-judgmental communication, creating a safe space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop practical strategies.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep passion for helping others. I gained invaluable experience working in crisis intervention, intensive case management, psychiatry, and private practice. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face.

My goals for you

My ultimate goal is to empower you to lead a fulfilling and authentic life. Through our work together, I aim to help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience.

Our first session

During our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other and discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. I will listen attentively to your concerns and collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals.
