I’m Deirdre Arato, LPC, a trauma-informed neuropsychotherapist and mental health counselor passionate about helping individuals heal from anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity confusion, and relational wounds. I didn’t choose this work — it chose me. Check out my website www.bluelotusgardenofhealing.com After years of witnessing the emotional toll that trauma, shame, and self-abandonment can take on a person’s mind and body, I committed myself to learning everything I could about the nervous system, trauma healing, and emotional resiliency. My clinical experience and advanced training in neuropsychotherapy allow me to blend evidence-based techniques (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and nervous system regulation) with deep emotional work that addresses both the science of healing and the soul of healing.
