Arrionne "Arri" Aguilar Taitague
Exhausted from living in 'survival mode' after a traumatic event or years of high-stakes service? Whether you are a First Responder carrying the weight of the job, a Veteran transitioning to civilian life, or a survivor of community violence, the "aftermath" can feel like an impossible weight. You might feel hyper-vigilant, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of grief that won’t let go. I help bridge the gap between the crisis and the cure. With over a decade of experience in Emergency Departments and Level 1 Trauma Centers, I don't just "talk" about trauma—I understand the physiological and psychological grit it takes to heal from it Using evidence-based tools like EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we target the root of the trauma response. My approach is direct, clinical, and deeply informed by my work with those who have seen the unthinkable. We won't just manage your symptoms; we will work to integrate your experiences so they no longer run your life.

First session
In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you, understand your goals for therapy, and answer any questions you have about my approach. I aim to create a flexible, supportive environment while we review your intake information, explore your history and current needs, and begin developing a plan that feels right for you.
Strengths
My strength as a therapist is meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you. I support clients in identifying and processing past and present stressors, trauma, and barriers to stability, with the goal of improving quality of life. I believe therapy is a supportive tool for managing daily stress, healing from trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and navigating grief and loss so you can move toward your personal goals.
