Hello, there! My name is Aja Collins (she/her). With an open heart and mind, I am here to provide guidance and comfort throughout your wellness journey.

Finding the support that you need is no easy feat, and the fact that you are here is a great first step. True to my interest in person-centered therapy and the strengths-based perspective, I believe in honoring the emotions and experiences that make up who you are as a unique individual. By consistently cultivating a liberating and judgement-free space, I aim to explore personal challenges through an empathic and compassionate lens.

Throughout my second year of graduate school, I had the pleasure of being a clinical therapist intern at TGC. Under intense supervision, I primarily worked with individual adults from a wide array of sociocultural backgrounds. During my internship, I also completed multiple trauma seminars and mainly utilized narrative therapy to help my clients gain a more holistic understanding of their thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, I have provided clients with letters for emotional support animals and gender-affirming surgeries.

As someone who is deeply invested in exploring the stories of people from all walks of life, I truly look forward to building a warm and fruitful therapeutic relationship. Let’s work together to help you flourish.

I earned my MSW from the Loyola University School of Social Work in 2023. My degree specialization was in Clinical Mental Health. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining my LCSW.
