Ms. Adina Arden-Cooper LCMHC

I focus on shadow work. I help people realize the subconscious factors that keep them stuck through a creative combination of evidence-based treatment modalities and spiritual practices. I'm passionate about helping people feel empowered and aligned with their most authentic selves. My clients are highly sensitive people, creatives, nonconformists, seekers, healers, and thinkers who tend to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost. These are often people who've done quite a bit of self healing and introspective work but still feel stuck. Diving into the subconscious, into shadow, tends to be the missing piece. I create loving and compassionate space for people and invite deeper exploration with curiosity and creativity. I strive to create trust and connection with my clients. It's important to me that people feel connected, safe and supported in session. Inner child healing/treating childhood trauma is an important component of my work. I'm also skilled at addressing generational trauma and possible burdens carried from other timelines. My work is medicine for the soul. My therapeutic approach is a unique blend of mind, body and soul healing strategies. I draw from my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and mindfulness teacher training. I also apply my creative skills as an artist and a writer as well as personal healing achieved through spiritual/shamanic practices.
