Arlene Magarelli
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in residential and school-based mental health settings. I specialize in supporting individuals and families navigating substance use, co-occurring disorders, trauma, crisis situations, and behavioral challenges. I provide services in both English and Spanish.
“Recovery and healing are possible when people feel understood, supported, and empowered.”
Steady, Informed Care for Complex Challenges
I believe behavior is often rooted in unmet needs, trauma, or untreated mental health concerns — not personal failure. True change happens when clients feel both supported and challenged. Serving Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and all of Loudoun County, Virginia, I provide a steady, informed presence while equipping you with the tools and confidence to move forward.
My approach integrates relapse prevention, trauma-informed care including Seeking Safety, DBT-informed skills, and practical coping strategies. Whether working individually or with families, I focus on building stability, accountability, and resilience while honoring each client's unique background and culture.
