Embrace the Future with Donnelly Healing LLC

Arlene Donnelly, MS, LLPC, CAADC, NCC

Passionate Counselor

I have my  Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MS), am a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC), a Certificated Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), am endorsed by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NCC) , am certified to facilitate Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), and SMART Recovery. I take a person centered approach to counseling, meaning that I meet you were you are. While everyone struggles sometimes not everyone struggles the same way. To help meet you were you are in your journey I use a variety of approaches. I believe in helping you find your inner strength through strength based approaches, increasing your awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions through Mindfulness based interventions and other cognitive behavioral approaches. I also believe that all individuals should be treated with autonomy, dignity and fairness.
In working with individuals I bring compassion, understanding and empathy to each session. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and I take an inclusive approach to counseling. I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, low self-esteem,  trauma of all types, young adults to older adults, and individuals from the LGBTQ population. I also have experience with helping clients develop parenting skills as well as other life skills. I understand that everyone’s life experiences impact them differently and these experiences help to shape up but they do not have to be the events that continue to dictate the direction of your future. I am looking forward to assisting you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
