About Me

Hi there, I’m Aunastasia!

PhD, MSW, CADC I, LICSW

I know life can be a challenging and complex journey, filled with moments of joy and fulfillment and times of pain and uncertainty. It's my honor to walk alongside you as you navigate this path.

At Breaking Boulders Counseling, I believe in the transformative power of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My approach is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a deep respect for your unique experiences. I understand that seeking therapy can be both a courageous step and a vulnerable one, and I want you to know that you are not alone on this path.

My Philosophy

  • One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

  • Engaging in therapy, EMDR treatment, and alcohol and drug treatment can be intense - I take a direct yet warm approach to the therapeutic process and incorporate humor when appropriate.

  • I see therapy as a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

  • Together, we'll uncover the strengths within you and develop strategies to navigate life's challenges, both past and present.

  • I draw from diverse therapeutic modalities, tailoring my approach to your needs and goals.

Whether you're seeking support for trauma, substance use/abuse, anxiety, depression, or personal growth, I am here to provide guidance and support every step!

Healing IS Possible

  • My passion and commitment lie in supporting you to find healing, resilience, and hope. Every individual has the capacity for positive change, and my role is to empower you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment.

  • Thank you for considering me as your partner on this path to healing. I look forward to working with you, listening, understanding, and supporting you in your pursuit of a more fulfilling life.

  • Please feel free to reach out to schedule a session or to ask any questions you may have. You are not alone, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Warmly,
Aunastasia
