Arlene Licata, MA, LPC, LCMHC

More Than 30 years of experience in a broad range of Mental Health Services! There are many reasons that you might seek professional help. At the root of them all is the desire to improve yourself, your life, or your relationship(s). For me, being a therapist means sharing my humanity with others, while maintaining an objective perspective that facilitates learning and change. My office is a nurturing space where you can take some time for yourself in the presence of a supportive counselor. My purpose is to provide comfort and safety as well as the guidance and focus that will help you reach the best resolutions to your challenges. For couples: I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy, a highly effective approach. I feel passionate about this approach to couples therapy, because I have seen relationships not only saved, but transformed with this method. To be perfectly honest, I would have to say that my experiences as a daughter, a mother, a partner, and a friend have informed my approach as a therapist as much as my formal education. I bring warmth and humor into my work, but I will challenge you as well. My practice focuses on providing a unique and effective approach to resolving relationship difficulties, as well as deepening the emotional connection and communication between partners. If you have tried marriage counseling before with mediocre results, I invite you to come in for a consultation. Also, as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, I also provide guidance for sexual problems such as low desire, sexless marriages and other manifestations of sexual incompatibility in relationships. I additionally welcome individual adults struggling with their relationships or grieving a loss. These are my passions.
