About me

Welcome, My name is Ariam Peña, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Virginia. I received my Master’s degree from Argosy University and have been practicing for over a decade. I help adults with the different challenges of life and pressures that often take the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and substance abuse. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, you can expect us to spend the majority of the time talking about how you've been feeling recently, what brought you to therapy and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Every individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Growing up in a multicultural home, respect and love were the first and most important values to be instilled in my life that I believe have molded who I have become as an adult and a professional counselor.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clients are eager to improve, but lack the tools needed to make achieve their personal goals. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I believe that "one size does not fit all sizes". This is why I use an eclectic approach to therapy. There will be times where one therapeutic approach may benefit you more than another or sessions where multiple approaches will be utilized. Improving your quality of life is the priority and I feel the best way to reach that is by tailoring each session to meet your specific needs. During sessions, you can expect a collaborative approach where we work together to achieve your goals for therapy.
