Utilizing the Eco-Systemic Family Therapy Model, an evidence-based treatment, my clinical work focuses on helping families, couples, and individuals achieve treatment goals.

Hola! I'm Aurelio. I provide IFS-informed EMDR and relationship therapy in English and Spanish for adults, including those who identify as people of color, polyam/non-monog, neurodiverse, kinky, LGBQ+, and trans/gender expansive. I also support folks exploring identities, and those healing from trauma and emotional pain. My liberation and healing are bound up with yours. I see healing as an ongoing process that we do for ourselves, our community, our ancestors, and the ones who will come after us. A process where we collectively hold space for each other, tend to our wounds, laugh, and strengthen our capacity to survive and thrive.

I am a psychologist and yoga instructor. I work with the full range of mental health concerns through outpatient therapy with adults, children, and adolescents, as well as families, couples, and groups. I have strong interests in the connection between mind-body-spirit, in the promotion of well-being, in stress-related concerns, and in complementary approaches to healing. I welcome clients interested in integrating psychotherapy with yoga and meditation practices. I also have particular interest in depression, anxiety, GLBTQ* concerns, sexual orientation, concerns relating to eating, weight, and body image, concerns related to medical and physical difficulties, etc.

Why go to therapy? We all want to feel accepted, understood, and loved. I help individuals, couples, and families achieve those goals. I also specialize in teens and young adults struggling with a variety of psychological issues. I utilize a holistic approach that sees everything as being part of a bigger system, and careful thought is given to how different parts of the system affect our lives. Using an integrative approach that incorporates attachment theory, EFT, and CBT, I work with clients to resolve struggles from their past and their present in order to heal and take ownership of their lives.

I have been treating marital issues and anger issues in Ardmore since 1983.

Or if you have anger issues, I will teach you skills to help you communicate without anger so that you can lead a more peaceful life at home and at work.

As a counselor, I have always been aware of the courage and openness a client needs to be able to seek support and engage in counseling services. I also understand how difficult it is to make therapeutic changes in one's life. I am humbled to be privileged to learn about a client's intimate struggles, and I take the depth of that relationship of respect, privacy, boundaries, and expectations very seriously. My ideal client is anyone open to counseling, receiving feedback, and willing to work together on developing action steps towards change and personal growth.

I have been working with individuals of all ages for over 15 years.

I have worked with a variety of populations including victims of trauma; parents, adolescents and children struggling with mental health or other neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, autism, etc). and individuals working to make lifestyle changes such as diet and nutritional changes.

My highest therapeutic priority is the relationship I establish with the patients I treat. I describe the ideal connection as safe, non-judgmental, and mutually accountable and consider these factors to be instrumental to a person’s healing and recovery. My capacity to embrace all walks of life and ability to help humans feel comfortable in their own skin has made my long standing career as a therapist full and dynamic. I bring comprehensive, therapeutic skills to my practice. I am thoroughly skilled and experienced to treat depression, substance abuse and personality disorders.
