There are many difficult experiences in life--a painful loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, divorce, parenting challenges, gender identity, sexuality, etc.--that require us to seek help and guidance. Whether you are dealing with a crisis, a long-term struggle, or a desire to grow and become your best self, I am trained to guide clients to make positive changes and begin to feel better.

When people come to therapy, they are often feeling scared, confused or lost because their life is unraveling and they have exhausted all options. During these times, we can lose our sense of self and our relationships with friends and family suffer. I am skilled at providing a safe and comfortable space to engender trust and promote healing, helping clients gain greater insight to manage life's hurdles. Calling on my 17+ years of experience, my therapeutic philosophy involves empowering clients to work through past traumas and self-defeating behaviors to lead more fulfilling lives.

I believe that the most important part of helping a client relates to the development of trust between the client and therapist. It is essential to create an emotionally safe environment and demonstrate unconditional acceptance regarding the client's emotional experience. I am holistically oriented and use an integrative eclectic approach to treatment. I believe that the body and mind are inter-related. The therapeutic approach might focus at times on improving nutrition, exercise, and even self-appreciation. Therapeutic techniques may include aspects of: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, NLP, Art, Movement, and even Hypnosis.

Welcome! I am Luis Virella. Whether you are seeking counseling services for the first time or have new therapy goals, I am here to help you. Recovery is the process of improving your health, living a self-directed life, and reaching your full potential. Anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions have the ability to rob us of these things. At Recovery First, I will help you learn new tools so that you can begin the recovery process to support a better and stronger mental health.

I am proud of you for beginning your therapy search - the first step is often the hardest! I work with both couples and individuals, including teenagers and adults. When treating couples, I can help you work through communication issues, family stressors, and affairs or infidelity. When treating teens and adults at the individual level, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and childhood trauma. Regardless of your symptoms or diagnosis, I believe in creating an individualized and unique atmosphere that can benefit each client.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or PTSD? Are these problems getting in the way of finding happiness in your life? Therapy can help you explore these problems and more. We can look at what is currently happening in your life and delve a little deeper to explore the origins of some of your problems.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, or you're somewhere in between, my goal is to help you experience relief from your symptoms and get back to living life on your terms. I work with teenagers (13+) and adults and specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience in treating PTSD and OCD and understand the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Regardless of your diagnosis, I believe that it's important to tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs.

Hello and congratulations! You have taken the first step towards taking control and changing your life.

Whether you are struggling with addiction, sadness, self esteem, or relationships, no problem is too big or small for us to tackle together.

I come to the practice of psychotherapy with a fresh take on what it means to serve and to heal. With a background that spans both the arts and the sciences, I’ve become rounded and grounded in analyzing problems from an integrative mix of perspectives.

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults regarding a variety of emotion-based challenges, including attention and impulsivity, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, self-injury, and school difficulties. Through an eclectic approach to therapy, I aim to help my clients build skills in the area of emotion regulation, self-awareness, and relational engagement in order to reduce barriers to a healthy and joy-filled life across all domains: family and home, school, and peer relationships.

You did the hard part: you made the brave decision to reach out for help and now you are here. You don't have to go through this process alone; allow me to help you with this next part of your healing journey. I provide my clients with a secure, compassionate, and empowering environment that promotes growth, self-compassion, and inner healing. I specialize in working with teens, college students, and women suffering from anxiety, stress management, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.
