Taking the first step to make changes in your life is the beginning of a new path to enhancing your well-being. Are you stressed, anxious, experiencing trauma, a recent loss or developing an eating disorder or depression? I have helped numerous individuals, including children, teens, for more than 30 years to learn effective coping strategies and become more resilient in the face of life's challenges.

My name is Colleen Aerne and I want to welcome you to my practice. Are you struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, irritability? Are the demands of life, work and family leaving you feeling overwhelmed? I believe that taking a step back, getting in touch with your feelings and gaining perspective on why you are feeling this way is vital. I want to help you work through your feelings of depression and anxiety and get your life back on track.

With many excellent therapists to choose from, it may be difficult to know who would be a good fit for you. I strive to develop a comfortable environment in which you can explore the issues that concern you, consider the alternatives that can bring you closer to the life you want to live, discover your inner resources and skills and transform them into action that can help you fulfill your goals and dreams. My practice focuses on general psychotherapy issues such as depression, general anxiety, and traumatic experience.

During these difficult economic times, an experienced and sensitive therapist may be just what you need to help you with individual, marriage, and family psychological issues.

There are seasons in life when hope and peace seem distant while trouble, stress, and doubt are unavoidable. Learning new perspectives can alleviate symptoms of anxiety, hopelessness, confusion, concentration challenges, fatigue, emotional volatility, risky behavior, or difficult relationships. I provide personalized support to encourage and empower clients to live more authentically and get positive results. I'll get to know you and your unique strengths and talents while providing support and building self-confidence to achieve more satisfaction in life.

I am a psychologist with over thirty years experience treating childhood disorders. My experience has been that early childhood therapy and parent-training are most effective, and emotional healing occurs most readily, when parent and child are seen together. Focus during, and between sessions, involves teaching of play skills and modeling of effective limit setting. For older children, self modulation of behavior is a primary objective. Utilizing these techniques, I have successfully treated anxiety problems (such as selective mutism), depressive symptoms, and developmental disorders (such as Aspergers Syndrome).

Do you often feel on-edge and find yourself feeling stuck in a cycle of worry or sadness? Would you like to feel more in control of your moods and emotions? Perhaps life is just feeling overwhelming right now or you are looking to make a change. Taking the first step on your journey towards healing can be challenging, but it’s not one you need to take alone.

Do you want a space where you can be present and develop in the "here and now"? Do you want to bring your experience of self to clear awareness with support for healing and discovery of new ways to integrate your thinking, feeling and willing? If so, I am available to explore with you how to work with the issues that are important to you.

You struggle building friendships. Maybe it's because you have ADHD, Autism, or another social learning difference, or perhaps your anxiety just gets in the way. You feel that when you're interacting, things seem awkward. You realize that after a conversation, you think about what you just said, and it repeatedly plays in your mind. Your parents are stumped on how to help you. They've tried everything from workbooks to making you try out for a team or activity you hate! You're constantly feeling like you're on the verge of losing control. You wish you knew how to make connections, but the truth is, it's hard, and you don't know how.

I have been a psychotherapist counseling adults, couples and families for thirty years. My experience in working with people has given me a unique outlook on the human condition and the complex nature of relationships.

I work with various clients in order to improve their lifestyle, to enhance their "psychological vitality". I approach each client with respect and sensitivity, and view myself as working alongside each individual towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative patterns.

Therapy should be a place of security where you can release your fears and anxieties; stress and depression; your worries and troubling behaviors. Here, in a sympathetic environment, you can explore your strengths and achieve your goals in becoming the most vital version of yourself. Collaboratively, using my decade of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will provide that place of security and work with you at achieving the dynamic you.

Therapy is ultimately meant to be a life altering process, from how you understand your personal challenges and problematic situations to how you choose your coping strategies and the options you see as possible for your life. It is my goal to guide and support you through this therapeutic experience to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self. Therapy starts where you are at, and it progresses one step at a time. I approach my clients with commitment, integrity and a vision of positive growth.

Hello and welcome! For some of us, the challenges around managing our stress and anxiety seem extraordinary. Maybe you are experiencing negative and intense mood swings. Maybe you are finding it difficult to carry on at school or at work. Maybe you are having trouble connecting with others and are experiencing conflict in your relationships. You might feel inadequate, hopeless, fearful, anxious, stressed. You are not alone. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing these issues. There is so much going on during this time, and reaching out for help as you navigate your journey is a brave and thoughtful choice.

My therapeutic interventions are designed to assist clients in fully realizing those goals so that they may experience the satisfaction of their accomplishments. I aim to empower individuals by helping them recognize and utilize their strengths to create positive changes. As you work towards lasting solutions, I remain committed to supporting your objectives and providing guidance to overcome any challenges that may arise.

Welcome! My name is Julia I am a LMSW, but I want you to know that what you will find is I am more than a mental health professional. I approach my work in a holistic way. What I personally mean by this is, we can’t just address the mind when healing or working on balancing ourselves. We have to take a look at all that we do, which includes what we eat, how we exercise, our daily habits, what information we consume, and our relationships. With this being said, I provide not only talk therapy, but individual yoga sessions if the client feels this would be beneficial to their healing process.

First of all, I would like to commend you on taking this step to seek help and support. You are the expert in your life and you know now is the time. I feel there are concrete skills all of us can benefit from to think and feel more positively. I also feel there is power in telling one's story and am thankful to all of my clients willing to share theirs with me. I do not adhere to a one-size fits all approach to therapy. Your treatment will be as individual as you are and we will come up with the approach and goals together.
