Rina Villanueva

Hello, friend. If you’ve landed here, something in your life feels heavy, stuck, or just a little too loud. I’m so glad you’re taking this brave step to look for support. My name is Rina Villanueva, and earlier this year I became a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate). I’ve spent most of my time so far laughing, playing, and problem-solving with kids and teens, but my heart and schedule are wide open to every age, 8 or 80, you’re welcome exactly as you are. Picture this: you sit down (or log on) and finally let the weight out. I’m not here to rush in and “fix” you. I’m here to listen like a friend who truly hears you, ask gentle questions, and walk beside you until your own answers light up. No worksheets, no fancy therapy-speak—just two people in the same room, breathing the same air, finding your way home to yourself. I love slipping in tiny pockets of calm: a slow breath together, a quick body-scan, or a two-minute “magic breathing” break that melts the day’s tension. Kids giggle and call it superhero training; adults tell me they leave feeling lighter than they have in years. When we can meet Monday–Thursday → 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday–Friday → 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Weekends → Yes! Just send me a message and we’ll pick the perfect time. You don’t need perfect words or a perfect plan. Bring whatever you’re carrying—worry, anger, hope, or just “I don’t know”—and we’ll set it down together, piece by piece, until it feels lighter. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story. With warmth and hope, Rina Villanueva, LPC-Associate Supervised by April West, LPC-S
