Arleen Tello is an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist at Lumen Health with two decades of experience supporting individuals affected by substance use disorder, addiction, and emotional challenges. After years of working in addiction treatment, she expanded her education to deepen her understanding of mental health and broaden the ways she can support clients on their journey toward healing. Her passion for this work is evident—she loves what she does and brings warmth, dedication, and genuine care to every session.

Arleen’s therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that clients hold the inner wisdom needed to grow, heal, and transform. Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients uncover practical strategies, shift unhelpful patterns, and build healthier relationships.

Above all, her goal is to offer encouragement, education, and steady guidance as clients discover healthier ways of living—one step, and sometimes one skip, at a time.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and identify the most effective ways to support your progress. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Throughout our work together, I'll help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies.
