David Arute, LCPC, AEDP/EMDR
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
The Mansio Center, Inc.
You have so much to teach me about who you are. Together, we'll explore your inner goodness and beauty, even in challenging moments. Both of us will bring our full humanity into our sessions, navigating any messiness together. We'll build mutual trust and secure attachment, working through any challenges. Our focus will be on fostering a healthy relationship between us and helping you nurture a trusting relationship within yourself, exploring your inner world and finding a place where you feel grounded, spacious, and loved in the present moment.
My Approach
As we navigate life, we often let go of parts of ourselves to survive and fit in. These early defenses and survival techniques can hinder our wholeness as adults, leading to feelings of being "stuck." I believe that we are naturally wired for healing, and in a safe environment, this healing capacity is activated as we listen to, feel, and process our core emotions. Emotions carry our stories, and when not properly processed, they can lodge themselves in our bodies and manifest in various unhealthy ways.
I use an experiential, trauma-informed, holistic approach that acknowledges the importance of the mind-body connection in well-being. My practice draws from various principles, including AEDP , Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy. My goal is to help you acquaint yourself with your emotions without being overwhelmed by them. I hope you feel safe, seen, known, and worthy. My joy is to witness you reintegrate previously disconnected parts of yourself into your present, true self. It would be my honor to be your guide and witness on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
