Adriana Avila, M.S., LMFT-116562
EMDR Trained, Grief Yoga Certified
Certified Grief Educator
Education:
University of La Verne, La Verne
Master of Science
Languages:
English, Spanish
Services Offered
I am an LMFT, a certified grief yoga teacher ™, and trained in EMDR. My specialties include grief and trauma work, and I incorporate a somatic approach into my sessions. I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse, suicidality, trauma, and in intensive programs (such as wraparound and FSP). After experiencing the loss of my beloved dogs, I found purpose in being of support to other grieving pet owners. Losing your companion is heart wrenching and finding hope can often feel impossible. I found power in grieving as a collective and that is how my pet loss group was created. In addition to grief groups, I also hold groups for those in the veterinarian profession. I am a compassionate therapist, passionate about my work, and in my spare time I run, do yoga, read, hangout with my dogs, and spend time with my family. I love nature, animals, helping the community, and fulfilling my passion to serve others through my profession.
I provide individual and group therapy in English and Spanish.
