My partner Kristin Lindgren and I started New Path Counseling LLC to provide clinical social work services and educational assistance. I provide the clinical social work services focusing on work with adults, young adults, teens and others. I provide services based on a trauma informed approach and focus on adjustment disorder, depression, shame and guilt along with life transitions. I also provide Employee Assistance Program Services, Life Coaching and career counseling. You can also connect with me at: https://www.betterhelp.com/michael-arieta/
I have obtained the Permanency and Adoption Certificate through the University of Minnesota and have knowledge in Trauma Informed Care and Adoption issues. I have a strong background in working with preteens, teens and young adults who are experiencing difficulties in navigating life transitions. I have a strong knowledge base in higher education.
I use a trauma informed and resiliency approach to guide clients through difficult experiences. I also apply a strong understanding of the body and how the nervous system reacts when people are faced with experiences that interfere with engaging with others.

I work primarily with people who have experienced trauma. Therapy from the start will take into consideration what people have experienced. At intake we are going to get a good picture of what has happened to the client and then come up with a plan to help the client learn to walk with the trauma rather then being stuck in it.
