Juan Arambula Wence, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-t

You may be looking for therapy because anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or questions about identity have started to feel too heavy to carry alone. I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients who are exploring identity, spirituality, family expectations, shame, belonging, and what it means to feel more fully themselves. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), parts work (Internal Family Systems (IFS)), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relationship therapy to help you understand what is happening underneath the surface and begin building more trust in yourself and your relationships. I do not see you as broken. I see you as someone who has learned ways to survive, protect yourself, and get through hard things, and our work can help you move toward a life that feels more connected, grounded, and true to you.

Therapy with me usually starts with getting a clearer sense of what has been feeling heavy, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping feels different. I tend to move at a pace that feels human, not rushed. Some sessions may feel more reflective, while others may be more focused on tools, patterns, communication, or processing something specific.
