Eduardo A. Juarez, MA, LPC

"I treat people, not diagnoses.
Everyone has a story and I’m here to listen. It is my goal to allow people to explore their own psychology in a safe, comfortable environment."

About Me

I have been practicing counseling for the past 23 years in various capacities, beginning my career as a staff therapist with a community mental health center in Montgomery County. That job prepared me to work with a diverse population with various issues—it was the perfect place to begin to develop my own philosophies and views on counseling and working in a helping profession. 
 
Later, I worked at Penn State University as a full-time counselor specializing in working with disadvantaged low income adults and helping them access higher education. I also became a licensed professional counselor in my time there. I continued to practice with other mental health centers, as my career took me into an administrative role, overseeing business operations and supervising a small staff.

In 2017 I decided it was time to create my own vision: Arbol Professional Counseling. The vision is to help people achieve their greatest versions of themselves by clearing out a lot of the noise and shrubbery. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies that include guided meditation, as well as existential and psychodynamic approaches to aid in self-discovery and heightened insight.

About Me

My passion is helping people learn how to handle life changes successfully. I love seeing people grow and blossom as they overcome the challenges life throws their way. I help my clients thrive by aiding them to identify their patterns and habits that interfere with their growth.

I use a collaborative approach to identify your goals, and we work together so you can achieve them. My therapeutic style is person-centered and cognitive behavioral, so I am able to adapt my style to effectively work with a variety of people and issues. I believe my job as a therapist is to empower you to improve your life.

My professional experience began in 2002 and over the years I have worked with a variety of ages and areas of need. Today I focus on supporting adults who are struggling with emotional, behavioral, and adjustment issues, and who want to learn more effective ways to manage or improve their lives.

Brooke Cutler, MS, LPC

I received my Master’s of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I specialize in issues related to sexual development across the lifespan, anxiety, depression and trauma. I draw from mindfulness practices, expressive arts, strengths-focused and narrative therapies.

I am trained in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Primary Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (PriCARE) and Problematic Sexual Behavior Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT).

I believe that therapy creates a safe, non-judgmental  space for individuals and families to increase their awareness and empowerment.  

Laura Socci, MA, LPC

I want therapy to be what you need it to be.  Your therapy session is time dedicated solely to you, and my hope is that we are able to spend our time being present; focusing on any of life’s challenges, changes, or celebrations you’d like to discuss. Building a trusting relationship is key to a positive experience in counseling and I strive to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where they can openly express their thoughts and feelings.  When change is desired, our collaborative work can help move you forward. 

My counseling approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs. My professional experience in residential, community, and inpatient and outpatient mental health settings has provided me the opportunity to develop a diverse range of skills that I implement in sessions.  Drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy,  I focus on cultivating awareness and insight into the thought and behavior patterns that impact your daily functioning.  My aim is to help you move through life’s challenges and experience safety, connection, joy and a deep sense of self worth and acceptance. 

I work with individuals of all ages who seek to improve their communication skills, stress management, self-esteem, life transitions, and any symptoms related to mental health diagnoses. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to grow more resilient and confident in their ability to manage life’s challenges.  My ideal clients are courageous and curious to know themselves more deeply, motivated to take steps towards identifying what is helping and hindering them in living the life they want, and are open-minded to learning and practicing new ways of tending to their relationships with self and others- and dusting off old ones too!  

Prinjasi Das, Clinical Counseling Intern

I am currently working on my Masters of Education in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health from Temple University. As part of my work as an intern at Arbol Professional Counseling, I would like to gain experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Thus, I will be available to take on cases at a discounted rate as part of my training and will have ongoing supervision throughout. 

My aim is to foster a constructive and enriching therapeutic experience that empowers individuals to achieve their unmet goals, set new objectives, and develop effective problem-solving skills while nurturing meaningful connections with others. Central to my approach is a person-centered and collaborative framework, which allows for tailored interventions for each client's unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. "
