I am a licensed professional mental health counselor with experience in both a private and community mental health setting. I am also a certified yoga instructor, using a trauma informed approach to teaching yoga. I believe treatment should involve the whole person (physical, mental, and spiritual). Personal and professional history includes great exposure to a diverse set of life experiences and clientele. My focus is a client centered approach to therapy to help each individual live their best life and I believe, at our core, we all have the needed answers to our life's problems. My job is not to change or fix you; my job as a therapist is to bring those answers to the surface.
Additional areas of focus: Trauma and abuse, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Depression, Coping with life changes, Abandonment, Attachment issues, Blended family issues, Codependency, Commitment issues, Communication problems
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

Ionela has been very helpful to me. I’ve seen growth and progress in many aspects of my life since working with her. We still have work to do.

I feel very comfortable talking with Ionela and she’s a great listening. The last time I spoke with a counselor I was much younger so this is a whole new ballpark for me. She has helped make the transition smooth. I really like her therapy style! She feel like a friend but one that can really help me work through things. I appreciate her time more than I can express!
