Welcome! My name is Areaonia. I’m honored to accompany you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. I am here help support you in discovering the why behind your behaviors and creating a life that is full-filling to you. My approach is open, collaborative, professional, and empathetic. I strive to display the utmost of respect for your unique experiences and perspectives. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and create a life they are proud to live when given the right support and resources.
I graduated from ECU with my Master's in Clinical Counseling with a focus in addictions and rehabilitation. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings working with a wide range of mental health concerns including substance use/addiction, PTSD/Trauma, relationships issues, and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR and a variety of modalities I pull from.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination." -Carl Rogers
