I’m Arin. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience helping clients work through anxiety and depression. Whether related to work, school, family, relationships, body image, and/or self esteem, I begin by working with my clients to identify their personal trigger(s). To this end, I tailor each session to specifically address who I’m with, where they are with their unique challenges, and where they are in their life. Then, with this framework setting the stage, I provide an environment of understanding and compassion to allow each client to feel safe and supported as they work to set boundaries and meet their goals.
In our first session together, I will answer any questions you have about the therapeutic process, learn about your reasons for seeking therapy, and create a systematic plan to help you achieve your goals.
My clients most appreciate my calm demeanor, ability to listen, and willingness to work alongside them to identify challenges and implement goals.
I truly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. The main reason is that I believe adolescents and young adults are most susceptible to positive change due to their stage in life and the abundance of opportunities that lie ahead of them. It is one of my greatest joys to work with adolescents and young adults to see their full potential, to work with them through their fears and any obstacles they may be facing, and to challenge them to chase their dreams.
One of my top goals is to help my clients identify negative, destructive, and/or ineffective thought patterns. Then, through my structured sessions, I work with clients to arm them with the tools they need to transform those thought patterns into positive, healthy, and motivational ways of thinking.
I approach my sessions with person, place, and time in mind. This means is that I tailor each session to specifically address who I’m with, where they are with their unique challenges, and where they are in their life. With this framework setting the stage, I provide an environment of understanding and compassion to allow each client to feel safe and supported as they work to meet their goals.
