Work HistoryI am Kristina Aran, a dedicated and experienced Mental Health Professional with over 14 years of expertise. I provide comprehensive counseling, therapy, assessments, and related services to a diverse clientele. I am deeply committed to helping individuals become more aware of their emotions and needs, guiding them on their path to self-acceptance and emotional intelligence. My expertise spans treating a wide range of conditions in adults, couples, and families, including Depression, Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, complex trauma, and beyond. I specialize in couples therapy with a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. Each treatment plan is personalized, incorporating therapies like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method. In my practice, I create a warm, trusting environment where clients can enhance self-esteem, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-awareness. I support clients in strengthening relationships, aligning their actions with personal values, and meeting them at their current stage in life. I use a mix of person-centered, attachment-based, solution-focused, and holistic therapies to promote growth and positive outcomes. My therapeutic space is comfortable and safe, encouraging openness and self-compassion. I also explore the mind-body-spirit connection, utilizing mindfulness and positive psychology to help clients realize their full potential and manage reactivity.
