ANJNA ARUN, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR - LIMITED PERMIT
Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're living for yourself or just to meet the expectations of others? Are your relationships causing stress or leaving you feeling disconnected? If you're grappling with feelings of depression or struggling to align where you are now with where you thought you’d be, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore these challenges together.
Emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with things like anxiety, big life changes, or relationship struggles. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be open and honest about what you’re going through, even if those feelings are hard to talk about. In this safe and supportive environment, we’ll work through the challenges you're facing, helping you build resilience and better understand yourself.
Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches, I’ll work with you to not only understand the deeper roots of your struggles but also develop strategies to manage your current symptoms. Using this integrative approach, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, setting clear goals and identifying steps toward meaningful change.
You are a complex person and many factors contribute to your experience, including family dynamics, culture, faith, past traumas, and societal influences. Together, we’ll explore these intersections, honoring your unique journey while finding practical ways to thrive. Through our work together, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and build skills to manage difficult emotions, break free from unhelpful patterns, and reclaim your sense of agency. Reach out and take this first step to a more fulfilling life. Let’s start building the future you envision, together.

ANJNA’S APPROACH:
My primary treatment modalities are psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Gestalt, and I utilize techniques from different modalities to create a treatment plan that is individualized to your needs. Here are some ways we will utilize these techniques in our sessions:
Psychodynamic Therapy: We’ll explore how past experiences shape your current thoughts and behaviors, leading to deeper understanding and personal growth. This will allow us to uncover and understand the deeper roots of your current challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Together, we’ll identify and reshape negative thought patterns, developing practical coping strategies to foster a more positive mindset. This will help us understand and reshape the negative thought patterns that impact your daily life and empower you to break free from old habits and embrace a more positive, resilient mindset.
Gestalt Techniques: By focusing on the "here and now," you’ll connect with your present emotions, explore how emotions manifest in your body and work through them together gaining insights that empower meaningful change. By identifying and expressing these feelings, you'll gain insight into your current struggles and learn to address them directly.
