Ava Watson, MS, LLPC, NCC

As a counselor, I utilize empirically-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral, Adlerian & Rogerian theoretical orientations to help address your concerns and challenges. We will work together to create and achieve goals within counseling to obtain a healthier, happier way of living for you. The counseling environment is one that is free of judgment or bias, providing a safe space for you to share your challenges openly.
