Ready to Stop saying “This is Fine” and start saying “This is how I feel”?

Aara Abu Laban, Counselor in Texas

Therapy for Trauma, Self-Esteem and Relationships in San Antonio and throughout Texas or Florida

AARA ABU LABAN, LPC

Do you remember a time when you were happy, felt connected, and being vulnerable wasn’t such hard work? Those days may feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

You‘ve come to the right place.

I’m Aara, and I help people just like you; people who desire healthy relationship and to thrive socially again, but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find confidence, happiness, and fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves, where some emotional reactions comes from, and reconnect to others in a way that feels authentic again.

Many of today’s solutions for people are to trauma dump everything in first few session from the start of life to now. This can lead so many to feel they go home with memories still playing in their head and feeling they are not making progress in the now because they are focusing on the past. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I want you to feel that! Where therapy is not awkward, stuffy, or cookie cutter. Instead it’s individualized, tailored to your unique needs so you feel heard, validated and that this process is wholly focused on your genuine healing.

I am dedicated to helping people feel supported in their change

My training in cognitive behavioral methods means I have the expertise you need and deserve when you are healing yourself for a better tomorrow. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a person struggling with feeling alone, right?

I get it because I have a decade of my career dedicated to working with people who experienced trauma. I’ve lived in war torn countries, worked extensively with U.S. military veterans, and have worked with those who suffered sexual assaults from a person they trusted. I know that sometimes it feels easier to put your head down and push through to the day’s end. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through. Thats right: This therapist has done the hard work of therapy themselves.
