True Belonging Therapy

Hi, I’m glad you’ve made your way here. My name is Allison Arbelaez, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). In the past decade, I’ve provided psychotherapy to all age groups and worked in many different therapeutic settings including schools, a child/youth-centered therapy center, and mental health centers serving adults. I tailor therapy to each individual’s personality, strengths, and needs, and I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) & Anxiety Disorders. I firmly believe in utilizing evidence-based practice; as such, I am an integrative therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP, a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is the gold standard for OCD treatment and is strongly supported by research. Over the past several years, I have helped many clients achieve meaningful progress through ERP and ACT, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate, effective care. Whether you are hoping to manage anxiety, or a mood disorder, work through conflict, or address the challenges that have arisen in your life, I will guide you in attaining your goals. I provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for you to feel the difficult emotions that may emerge, and I help you navigate the next steps.
