About Me (she/her/hers)
I’m Aleena Portugal, a Maryland-licensed therapist dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and thrive.
I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders. My approach is eclectic and highly personalized, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered techniques to meet your unique needs and goals.
My mission is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel empowered to explore your emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop tools for long-term growth. Whether you’re looking to manage overwhelming emotions, gain self-awareness, or work through life’s transitions, we’ll collaborate to uncover the strategies that work best for you.
Outside of therapy, I find joy in reading, staying active, traveling, and spending time with my dog—these moments of balance and inspiration help me bring my best self to our sessions.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create the life you envision.
