Welcome All! If there is one thing that I have learned from being in this field, it is that Therapy is life changing! I believe that seeking help for life's struggles is the best thing one can do for themselves. I currently am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been in the field for close to ten years now. I've always been intrigued by people's thought patterns and behaviors. That led me to obtain my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Saint Jospeh in West Hartford, Ct. After taking a much needed break from school, I had some time to really look around me and see all the things that were happening in the world, and that is when I realized that there is great need for caring for one's Mental Health. I then enrolled in Brooklyn College at the City University of New York and obtained my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. It has been a great journey thus far. I have worked with a wide range of clients that have dealt with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, life stressors, and Addiction. I also have experience with counseling adults with developmental disabilities. My Therapeutic approach is to make you feel the most comfortable and safe in your sessions. Although there is progress being made within the Mental Health field, there still lies some stigma attached to it. I want clients to feel and understand that there is no shame in getting the help that is needed. As your Therapist, I am here to guide you, provide insight, and useful tools that can be utilized in order for an optimal level of functioning to be reached. To help you get there, I utilize a wide variety of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. So if you are ready to take that next step into improving an area of your life or just need extra support, you have come to the right place. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome, my name is Adriana. I am here to help you as you take the first step towards healing and relief. Helping others has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Everyone deserves to be heard no matter their situation. We all need some guidance from and support from time to time. I hope to work together to help you in your journey. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience as a counselor. I have been in the field for about 6 years. I graduated with a Masters of Science degree from the University of Vermont in 2014. In my time there I worked with teens and young adults with substance use and/or mental health difficulties. My program focused on teaching us the skills we would need to provide effective therapy while also being mindful of diversity. Diversity not only focused on race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation, but the diverse experiences each individual has in their own life. I learned to try and understand a person holistically to better understand how their experience influences their life in all facets. In the last 6 years I have worked with children, teens, families, and adults in rural and urban communities. I have worked with individuals presenting with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. My style as a counselor is eclectic. What I focus on first is building a strong rapport. Getting to know you to build trust is essential in creating a space that allows you to be vulnerable. It can difficult to open up to a stranger so I take the time to build that trust. My approach is mostly focused in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT allows one to look at how their thought patterns impact what they feel and do. Identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with positive, more realistic thoughts can help change your perspective on a situation thus allowing for positive change. I try to integrate ecological theory, narrative therapy, and solution focused therapy when appropriate. I am excited to take the next step in this journey with you. I look forward to working together to find the relief and healing you are looking for.

I have been called a “Soul Whisperer” by clients due to being highly intuitive, however it is more about teaching others to listen to their own intuition which knows what is in their most highest and greatest good for a full satisfying life. I love to inspire others to change the story that they tell themselves about the events that have happened in their lives, as this story was based on stress responses, emotional trauma, perceived fear, and outdated messages from the conditioning and programming received in childhood, leading to psychological, emotional and physical pain. Life is like a mirror that reflects back all the hurt, disappointment, anger, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, unmet needs, unrealistic expectations, guilt, shame, and disillusionment that a person holds onto as a victim of their circumstances. On the other side of depression and anger, anxiety and panic attacks, trauma and PTSD, borderline personality and addiction is self-understanding, self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, self-respect, resiliency, serenity, peace, and joy. I remember asking one of the counselors that I worked with twenty years ago, “Has there ever been anyone that you could not help as I think I might be that person because I am beyond repair, broken, damaged and there is no hope for me.” This counselor laughed and said “Never. I have a partnership with the Creator and no one has ever walked away without experiencing incredible personal growth and you won’t be my first.” She was right! I am 100% committed and dedicated to helping others discover meaning and purpose in their lives by supporting them on their own healing journey to stop the cycle of pain, addiction, violence, abuse, discrimination, abandonment, bullying, neglect, suicide, and trauma, all of which I have personally experienced myself. I am confident that I can help anyone who is truly looking to heal. It is not only about managing symptoms, but finding the source of suffering to promote clarity, healing, honesty, growth, compassion, forgiveness, accountability, self-care, and empowerment. It is about changing the self-talk, inner dialogue, and belief systems that no longer serve them and interferes with a healthy mind, body, and spirit connection. I am very passionate about helping others understand the negative thinking, victim mentality, shame cycle, codependency and emotional issues underlying mental health struggles and/or substance abuse patterns that keep them stuck, stagnant and enslaved to repeating behaviors that lead to self-sabotage and self-destruction. I am a caring, engaging, empathetic, and compassionate professional mental health and substance abuse counselor, with a very strong theoretical foundation in evidenced-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Reality Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodrama, Breath Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Inner Child Work. I also encourage clients to discover the blocks that hold them back from moving ahead in the areas of career, finances, relationships, personal growth, recreation, health, romance and spirituality. I motivate others to let go of enabling and co-dependency, set and maintain healthy boundaries, practice reflective listening and conscious communication, process grief and loss, and discover the meaning and purpose of living. I look forward to helping anyone that is ready to embark on healing the past, embracing the present, creating a new future, and living an authentic and truthful life.
