Welcome, I'm glad you are here! I'm Aline and I empower you to reconnect with your authentic self, and achieve your goals in counseling. I believe you already possess within you the capacity and resources to resolve your own issues and just need the support in therapy to tap into your strengths to enhance your mental wellness. My goal is to provide a safe therapeutic environment for exploration, understanding of current unhelpful patterns, collaborative problem solving, and building of skills that foster growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal during the intake session is to get to know the client, understand what are the presenting issues leading them to seek therapy, and formulate a treatment plan that is in line with the client goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I find that I'm most effective with clients who are engaged and cooperative in treatment with issues related to childhood or adult trauma, depression, relational issues, marital conflict, grief and loss, self-acceptance, and or substance use issues.
