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.

      About Me

        I earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, with a specialization in clinical social work. During my clinical training, I provided psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents at a private practice.

        I focus on helping clients navigate life transitions, internet and pornography addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I strive to tailor my clinical approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

        Having previously worked as a website designer, I developed an interest in internet and social media overuse and addictions. I am particularly interested in the impact technology has on our psychological and social well-being, and I assist both adults and adolescents in overcoming addictive behaviors and harmful narratives.

        My approach is rooted in compassion, goal-oriented strategies, and collaborative care. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with my clients and accompany them on their personal journey.

        Outside of her clinical work, I enjoy drumming, connecting with other musicians, cooking, and exploring new trails and cities.

        About Me

          I received my Masters of Social Work from the University of Maryland. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. I am also Internal Family Systems Level 1 trained. I understand that every person is unique and so is their therapy journey. My job as a therapist is to meet clients in their space.

          My experience includes individual, group, couple’s, and family therapy. Therapy may include skills building; however, my true passion lies with supporting others towards a positive view of self. Life has many challenges which may lead to clients feeling stuck. I aim to provide a space where clients can confidently define their paths forward.

          I utilize many different interventions including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

          My goal as a therapist is to tailor my support to the client’s needs.
