First Light Therapy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Accepting clients Last Updated 30+ days ago

Hello, my name is Azaria. I am a licensed therapist specializing in the unique mental health needs of young adult women. My private practice focuses on helping young women navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and building healthy relationships.

Many young women today face immense pressures, from academic and career demands to societal expectations and personal relationships. These pressures can often lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Unfortunately, finding the right support during these formative years can be challenging. In my practice, I create a safe and supportive environment where young women can openly discuss their struggles and work towards meaningful solutions. My approach combines evidence-based therapies with a deep understanding of the unique experiences of young adult women.


I focus on three key areas:
1. Building Self-Worth: Empowering clients to recognize their intrinsic value and develop a positive self-image.
2. Emotional Regulation: Providing tools and techniques to manage overwhelming emotions and reduce anxiety and depression.
3. Healthy Relationships: Guiding clients to form and maintain fulfilling and respectful relationships, whether they are romantic, familial, or social.

I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations. For instance, one client who came in struggling with severe social anxiety is now confidently pursuing her dream career and forming meaningful connections. Another client overcame a deep sense of inadequacy and is now in a healthy, supportive relationship.

If you or someone you know is a young woman struggling with these issues, I am here to help. My goal is to provide the support and guidance needed to navigate this crucial stage of life with confidence and resilience. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the possibility of working together to achieve lasting positive change.
