Depression Therapists in North, Raleigh, NC

Every person’s behaviors, choices, struggles and symptoms make sense within the context of their personal story and environment. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples who are struggling with issues related to PTSD/trauma, betrayal trauma, relationship issues, separation/divorce, addiction/codependency, dual diagnosis, boundary work, parenting, bodywork, grief/loss, mindfulness, anxiety/ depression , adoption and attachment, family issues, sexuality, spiritual concerns/abuse, and shame/guilt.

Areinia has extensive experience working with adults, children, and families providing therapy in homes, in communities and in outpatient agencies through community based services. She has experience conducting clinical assessments, group therapy treating anxiety, depression , bi-polar disorder, marital/family issues, schizophrenia, substance use, self-harm, and behavioral disorders. Areinia believes that therapy should be non-judgmental, person-centered where the client/families and the therapist can work together to identify triggers and find new solutions for solving issues they experience.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, & families who are experiencing relationship problems and issues related to anxiety, depression , adjustments, life changes, and grief/loss. I have a particular interest in premarital/couples therapy and have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (a research based approach to couples therapy). My aim with couples is to address feelings of frustration, resentment, hopelessness, and betrayal while improving communication, enhancing intimacy, and strengthening commitment. I also have training and experience providing Medical Family Therapy and work with individuals and their families who are dealing with acute/chronic illness.

Are you searching for help in this difficult season of life? Is your relationship in trouble? Is your child acting out or having a difficult time? Whether you're looking for help for yourself, child, teen, relationship, or family, I look forward to supporting you. Adults, teens, and children can find practical support addressing anxiety, depression , self-harm, and trauma. Couples can renew their joy in their relationship while developing communication skills and deeper understanding. Practical and effective support will be tailored to your needs.

Being a kid, teen, or young adult these days is pretty complicated, and parenting can certainly feel overwhelming at times! Sometimes, challenges show up that get in the way of the child or teen years being the carefree time of life that we want it to be. Sometimes, parents need a little support to help navigate unexpected issues that may arise in their families. Counseling can help during these times by providing a safe, trusted space to seek solutions, growth, and healing.

As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.
