Aren M. Drehobl

I understand how anxiety-provoking it can be to start therapy. I have also seen the magic that can happen when someone is ready to do the work it takes to heal. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where that kind of courage and change is possible. I know my clients are the experts on their own experiences. I use my knowledge and experience to help them through the stuck places so they can live clearer, more confident, more meaningful lives. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, substance use and abuse, and the aftereffects of trauma. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ individuals and communities. As a transgender-identified therapist, I have a particular passion for working with trans, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming clients. I am a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor (CADC). I integrate both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches to substance abuse issues. I am also trained in EMDR as a treatment for PTSD.
