Aida Girod

Hello, I'm Aida, a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health and social services field. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with adults and families from a variety of cultural backgrounds, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy. My extensive experience includes treating clients dealing with depression, trauma, anxiety, multicultural and acculturation issues, stress management, life transitions, sleep disorders, parenting skills, and family issues.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and personalized journey. My approach is eclectic, drawing primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis, but I always tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. I take pride in my ability to be flexible and adaptable to my clients' personalities, cultures, and communication styles. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and down-to-earth environment where you can feel comfortable and understood. I also like to bring a good sense of humor into our sessions because I believe that laughter can be a powerful tool for healing.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to providing the highest standard of care. My specialties include working with individuals facing bipolar disorder, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ support, gender identity issues, anger management, intimate and romantic relationships, PTSD, grief and bereavement, family relationships, medical and physical health issues, and more. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or navigating a significant life transition, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of my professional life, I value spending time with my family and exploring different cultures. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for diversity and the unique perspectives each person brings to the table.

It would be my pleasure and honor to assist you on your wellness journey. Together, we can work towards finding the peace, joy, and fulfilling life that you deserve. If you're ready to take the first step, I'm here to help.
