DESSIE AVILA
LPC-MHSP
Hi! I am Dessie Avila, a dedicated and compassionate licensed counselor and doctoral candidate concentrating on an integrative approach to counseling. With a profound commitment to helping individuals from diverse backgrounds, I am here to guide you on your path to emotional well-being and personal transformation. I believe every individual is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs and preferences. This integrative approach allows us to collaboratively explore and address the complexities of your life.
Throughout my academic and clinical journey, I have gained expertise in various areas, including Anxiety and Depression: Helping individuals manage and overcome the challenges of anxiety and depression to find peace and joy in their lives. Identity and Self-Esteem: Assisting clients in exploring their sense of self, identity, and self-worth.
Starting counseling can be a difficult step. Together, we can explore your unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations while paving the way for positive change. If you are ready to take the next step on your journey to well-being, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you and supporting you in achieving your goals.
