Hi there, I'm Arlene!
I believe I bring warmth to the counseling session. I built trust by non-judgmental listening. While this is my nature, I can also be direct with a client and tell them what I see in them if that is what I believe is necessary to move them forward in their journey for change.
My focus
My clients typically seek counseling due to symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and communication skills. I use DBT and EMDR when it would be helpful.
My approach
I follow Rogerian theory, which can also be called narrative, allowing the client to lead the direction of the session. I am also trained in EMDR, which has been proven to relieve the stress associated with traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences.
