Darlene M. Amin, M.A., LMHC has over 13 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, co-dependency, and addiction. I am also EMDR trained and have helped clients process trauma, anxiety, and addictions. I am also certified in Mindfulness and Meditation practices, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally. I have recently taken an interest in Integrative Mental Health (IMH) and I’m working toward certification. (IMH) is the understanding that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and influence each other. Complimentary methods are explored to reduce symptoms and create a healthy lifestyle that will incorporate all aspects of wellness for a well-rounded life experience.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I have a passion for helping people live their best life. I help clients discover their strengths and how to apply their strengths to improve their situations. I also enjoy teaching new skills to help clients cope with difficult situations they face. Along the way, my clients learn about themselves by exploring their internal dialogues, deconstruct those statements and replace them with positive, self-affirming statements that become strengths for them. This helps clients long-term by providing skills and tools that improve resiliency and can be used moving forward.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am EMDR trained and use this modality to help clients process trauma, anxiety and addictions. I also use CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and the Inner Counselor Process.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I love teaching coping skills to help people manage symptoms. I teach breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and ACT diffusion techniques.
