Meet Your Provider:
AARA ABU LABAN, LPC, LMHC
I’m Aara, and I help people just like you; people who desire support to reach their therapy goals!
I am trained in multiple cognitive and somatic therapies that support in treating trauma, improve mind body connection, and build emotional awareness. Some of those trainings include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gottman Therapy Method and Mindfulness. I perused additional training in Sex Therapy modalities to be integrated with those listed above or other additional therapy types, not listed, that are tailored to your therapy goals.
I help my clients find confidence, happiness, and fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves, where some emotional reactions comes from, and reconnect to others in a way that feels authentic again.
I believe therapy can develop in many ways outside of the hour we meet. Incorporating your interests with outside therapy homework can assit you in being your own teacher which excels your growth in therapy. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I want you to feel that! Where therapy is not awkward, stuffy, or cookie cutter. Instead it’s individualized, tailored to your unique needs so you feel heard, validated and that this process is wholly focused on your genuine healing.
