Getting to know Areen Samaan

My name is Areen Fakhoury, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I earned my bachelor?s degree in psychology from Azusa Pacific University and my master?s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. The way I approach therapy is by prioritizing who you are as a person and what you want to get out of our time together. My approach My therapeutic lens is person-centered and humanistic, which means clients are seen as the experts in their own lives. My goal is to assist people in working toward fulfilling their fullest potential, healing inner child wounds and current relationships, as well as regaining a new perspective on life as a whole. I believe you deserve to live a healthy and meaningful life. My focus I have experience working with adults, couples, and family groups. I primarily meet with women of all ages and stages, helping them navigate identity, stress, life transitions, and various relationships. My communication style I focus on creating a safe space and a natural therapeutic relationship. I want to ensure clients get the most out of therapy and our time together, so I make sure sessions focus on what they want to talk about and their goals. I begin each session by checking in on where the client is at and then navigate what is on their mind. I never preplan sessions because I know my clients are not robots and every week can mean something different. However, I do make sure we have a main goal in mind to track progress and ensure my clients are benefiting from therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I have always loved hearing people?s stories and believe there is so much power in saying your story or life events out loud. There?s beauty in brokenness, and I believe it?s a beautiful thing to come as you are. I want to facilitate a safe space for each person to face their realities but also find hope, which was my biggest takeaway when I spent a semester in South Africa doing a counseling internship.
