Getting to know Alan Vanell
Sometimes in life, we face various problems or setbacks that impede our identity, self-esteem, relationships, and aspirations. Through therapy, we can safely and quickly develop ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In conjunction, I utilize specific methods to help you build your inner resources and skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.
I am trained in various specialties, including DBT, AEDP, and EMDR, to focus on attachment issues and personal traumas/PTSD. I practice from interpersonal, experiential, and mindfulness-based approaches. I consider myself a holistic, trauma-centered, interpersonal, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from George Washington University Hospital, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration.
