I am a Resident in Counseling with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes counseling, social work case management, and compliance work with individuals experiencing serious mental illness. I have supported clients navigating trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and complex life transitions, offering care that is compassionate, grounded, and client centered.

I earned my master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University. I completed clinical training in both a women’s shelter for survivors of domestic violence and a private counseling practice. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, trust, collaboration, and emotional awareness.

I am especially passionate about supporting grief, including pet loss, and honoring experiences that are often overlooked or minimized. I strive to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal at a pace that feels right for you.

Abel Juarez is a Resident in Counseling who specializes in depression, anger, anxiety, relationships, and addiction. In life, there will be obstacles and complications that can interrupt and affect how individuals cope with negative as well as positive outcomes. These outcomes can influence a person's thought process and have the ability to make them feel overwhelmed, powerless, and anxious. In counseling, these challenges can be handled in a manner in which individuals, couples, and families can address and begin to understand how such difficulties can result in the present situations.

"I am passionate about aiding those in difficult situations to focus on their strengths and build on them," says Abel. "In this, the counseling process becomes an understanding of several issues instead of focusing on the negative aspects that people find themselves in. Therefore, progress can move forward and the client and I can begin to address the issues at heart.

Furthermore, counseling sessions are a nonjudgmental arena in which the client is not thought of in a negative light. Being that, everyone experiences life and reacts to circumstances both negatively and positively. The extent of this reaction is where counseling starts to help those in need of a better understanding of how they conduct themselves."

During my career, I have served on active duty in the United States Army and completed rotations in a sleep clinic, primary care center, and cognitive evaluation. I also completed training experiences at a community mental health center in rural Iowa and private practices in Lancaster, PA, and Virginia Beach, VA. I have supervised multiple clinical trainees at various levels and have taught several courses as an adjunct professor. I tailor each treatment to each individual client and enjoy working with clients in every stage of life. 

I have trained in many techniques and treatments and my approach to each client is customized to the individual. I am also flexible in approach, changing and adapting as needed to assist in your success. 

I look forward to hearing your story and being a part of your therapeutic journey.
