Willow Arlenea

My communication style

My approach is warm, caring, and empathetic, grounded in my own experiences with pain and healing. You can expect a non-judgmental, understanding, healing space to explore your concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional life began as an educator and from that place, I began the journey of developing my visual art and becoming a professional artist. While working as an artist I began training to be a therapist. I took the long scenic route through graduate school, developing many life skills, and psychological and spiritual tools.

My goals for you

I work with each client to understand what you want to accomplish in therapy. We gradually explore the barriers to your goals and what you can do to move past them.

Our first session

In our first session, I heard about the main problem that brought you to therapy. I deeply listen and tune into your pain. I might gather a little background information about your family and the troubling situation. I also introduce you to the process of dropping into your body and feeling the sensations and emotions associated with your distress.
