About Arnold
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive, respectful, and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to develop the tools needed to navigate life’s difficulties. My specialty focuses on working with adults who are experiencing the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of the clients I work with struggle with issues such as abandonment wounds, rejection, low self-worth, shame, emotional neglect, and difficulty trusting others. These early experiences can also show up later in life as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, fear of vulnerability, difficulty setting boundaries, and patterns of seeking validation from others. In therapy, we work together to understand how these early experiences may still be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier ways of responding and relating to yourself and others. I also focus on men’s mental health. Many men carry emotional pain silently due to cultural expectations around strength, independence, and self-reliance. I provide a space where men can openly explore challenges such as emotional disconnection, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, stress, and the pressure to perform or provide. My goal is to help men reconnect with their emotional lives, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger relationships. My background also includes working with individuals recovering from addiction and those rebuilding their lives after difficult life circumstances. Because of this experience, I approach therapy with a strong belief in resilience and the human capacity for growth and healing. Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and building practical skills that support long-term well-being and healthier relationships. Read more Show less
