Adria meets their clients where they are at in their healing process, empowering them to navigate or overcome uncomfortable emotions, harmful behaviors, and intrusive thoughts. Adria recognizes that during crisis situations, harmful or self-destructive behaviors can seem necessary for survival. This is why they strive to help their clients implement new resources and coping skills that allow clients to not only survive, but thrive while learning to love themselves entirely. Adria is motivated to provide a space that is free of judgment so that clients can feel safe, validated, and supported in discussing anything and everything.
Adria specializes in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, tweens, teens, and young adults. Adria uses aspects of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Art Therapy in their practice, while utilizing an Intersectional Feminist and Health At Every Size lens.
Adria believes that authenticity and vulnerability are forms of bravery, and they are honored to collaborate with their clients to help them continue growing, achieving their goals, and discovering themselves. Adria provides in-person and telehealth therapy at Calming Waters Counseling Services at the Matthews location.
