When your thoughts are racing, stress keeps building, or your confidence feels harder to hold onto, it can be difficult to know where to begin. I work with young adults and adults who want a supportive place to understand what they are thinking and feeling while developing practical skills to manage life’s challenges.

My name is Audrey Bell, and I’m a doctoral psychology practicum trainee here at Whole Village Counseling. My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and intentional. Together, we may identify unhelpful patterns, connect your treatment goals to what matters most to you, and develop coping strategies you can continue practicing outside of sessions.

I may be a good fit for you if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, low self-esteem, negative or racing thoughts, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals with alcohol and other substance-use concerns, including those working toward change or strengthening their recovery. Concerns related to body image may also be explored when connected to self-esteem and overall treatment goals.

Before joining Whole Village Counseling, I worked in an intensive outpatient program for adolescents experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. I have also worked in behavioral health hospital settings serving children, adults, and older adults. My clinical research has focused extensively on alcohol use, emotion regulation, coping, and related health behaviors among adolescents, young adults, and adults.

Working with me, you can expect genuine conversation, thoughtful exploration, practical skill development, and encouragement to apply what you are learning between sessions.
