Lina Lewis-Arévalo, Licensed Professional Counselor

My clients describe me as:

Warm, caring, non-judgmental, understanding, insightful, with a sense of humor. I help you open doors and follow pathways you didn't know were there.

Something to know about my approach is:

We'll collaborate on tools to explore the roots of anxiety and automatic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.. You'll feel more calm and better able to handle challenges and difficulties of life. You will like and enjoy yourself again.

Together, we will:

Identify unconscious beliefs and reactions you formed in childhood. These beliefs helped you survive and make it to adulthood. Now, you can adopt new beliefs and behaviors that make sense for your Adult Self.

I specialize in working with people who:

Had difficult, dysfunctional, or traumatic childhoods, and help them triumph over the Inner Critic who habitually drags them down. I will help you build a life that is meaningful to you and where you feel your Best Self.

I became a therapist because:

It is exciting and fulfilling to help others to thrive by reconnecting with their Strong, Lovely, Creative, Compassionate selves.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I use humor and straight talk to help clients connect with and heal the wounds left from childhood, helping them believe in themselves again.

More about me and my practice:

I like therapy to be a partnership between the client and the therapist. I'm not hear to judge you. Working with me you will make changes, little by little, to help you bypass obstacles that keep you from living the life you really want to live.
