A place for self-discovery, emotional health and healing
At Areale Counseling & Wellness, we care about your emotional health and wellness. We offer a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore personal issues, recognize problematic patterns, and formulate new options and solutions to improve their mental wellbeing and quality of life.
Our professional, compassionate and expertly trained therapists are here to partner with you to achieve your psychotherapeutic, wellness goals along the path towards individuation.
We help professionals, couples, artists and graduate students to reach their potential and create a life filled with self-acceptance, self-worth and happiness.
Depending on your individual needs, learning style and goals, we may use culturally appropriate, evidence-based modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, LGBTQI affirmative therapy and depth psychology.
