More about Areli
- 9 years' experience

- LMFT
In my experience and approach, I have found it best to come from a place of compassion for the client. That involves meeting the client where they are and where they would like to go in the treatment process. It is my belief based on knowledge, experience, and training that depression and anxiety can greatly impact a person's life.
