My name is Mehjabeen (Mehj) Aubol. I am a trained Trauma Therapist with significant experience addressing PTSD. I have been a therapist for the past 9 years, and during that time I have had significant experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual and physical abuse in their lifetime. I am Certified in utilizing Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with adult clients and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with children and adolescents, both addressing PTSD symptoms. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor located in Pennsylvania. I grew up immersed in more than one culture. I consider myself to have a strong cross-cultural understanding, and can relate to individuals who come from multiple cultures and backgrounds. My approach to counseling is always to get to know the individual first, understand their goals for counseling, and work with them as a team to help them get to where they desire to be in their life. I am always open to feedback and willing to try new methods or approaches that best fit the needs of each individual I work with, as every individual is unique!

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Seeking a new therapist can be overwhelming. You are courageous for showing up and taking the step to seek the healing you desire. I am a licensed clinical social worker. With me, you will find a nonjudgmental space to share your concerns and gentle guidance to navigate your circumstances that led you to seeking therapy at this time. In my former career as a high school teacher, I personally experienced work stress/burn out, identity and self esteem challenges, poor boundaries, anxiety/depression, and other relational challenges. As a parent, I can also relate to the challenges that family life can bring. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping others to live their best life. It would be my great pleasure to walk this journey with you to greater health and recovery!
