What We Help With

Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, ADHD, Stress, Relationships, and More

You do not need to know exactly what diagnosis, treatment approach, or type of therapy you need before reaching out.

At Aspire Counseling Group, we help children, teens, adults, couples, and families work through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, relationship, and life concerns.

Our therapists bring different specialties, approaches, personalities, and languages, making it easier to find someone who feels like the right fit for you.

We provide in-person therapy in Arcadia, CA and secure online therapy throughout California.

Appointments are available as early as this week.

Therapy available in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Armenian, and ASL.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, overthinking, physical tension, difficulty sleeping, irritability, avoidance, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities.

Therapy can help you better understand anxiety, recognize triggers, develop practical coping skills, and respond differently to anxious thoughts and physical symptoms.

Depression Therapy

Depression may involve sadness, low motivation, irritability, exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, hopelessness, withdrawal, or losing interest in people and activities that once felt meaningful.

Therapy can help you better understand what may be contributing to depression, develop healthier coping strategies, and begin reconnecting with yourself, your relationships, and daily life.

Trauma and PTSD Therapy

Difficult or overwhelming experiences can continue to affect emotions, relationships, beliefs, and physical reactions long after the experience has ended.

Trauma therapy can help you process painful experiences at a manageable pace, strengthen emotional regulation, reduce distress, and develop a greater sense of safety and control.

ADHD Therapy

ADHD can affect much more than attention.

Children, teens, and adults may struggle with organization, time management, procrastination, impulsivity, emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, task completion, or feeling constantly overwhelmed.

Therapy can help build practical strategies while also addressing stress, confidence, relationships, and emotional challenges connected with ADHD.

Autism and Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy

Neurodivergent clients may experience stress related to sensory needs, communication, relationships, emotional regulation, masking, executive functioning, social expectations, or feeling misunderstood.

Our therapists work from a strengths-based, affirming perspective that respects individual differences rather than treating neurodiversity as something that needs to be changed.

Grief and Loss

Grief can follow the death of someone important, but it can also arise after major changes, relationship endings, illness, infertility, caregiving changes, or other meaningful losses.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to process grief, understand changing emotions, and adjust to life after loss.

Anger and Emotional Regulation

Anger is often a signal that something underneath feels overwhelming, painful, frustrating, threatening, or difficult to express.

Therapy can help children, teens, and adults recognize emotional triggers earlier, understand what is happening beneath the anger, and develop healthier ways of responding.

Postpartum and Perinatal Mental Health

Pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum adjustment, fertility concerns, and becoming a parent can bring significant emotional and relationship changes.

Therapy can provide support for anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity changes, relationship stress, birth-related experiences, and the emotional adjustment to parenthood.

Relationship Concerns

You do not need to be in couples therapy to work on relationship patterns.

Individual or couples therapy may help with communication difficulties, boundaries, trust, codependency, people-pleasing, attachment patterns, dating concerns, repeated conflict, emotional distance, or difficulty navigating important relationships.

Life Transitions

Major life changes can bring stress even when the change is positive or expected.

Career changes, moving, relationships, marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, caregiving, graduation, retirement, grief, or changes in identity can all affect emotional well-being.

Therapy can help you adjust, understand what the transition means for you, and move forward with greater clarity.

Stress and Burnout

Ongoing stress can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, physical well-being, motivation, and your ability to feel present or relaxed.

Therapy can help you understand what is contributing to stress, recognize patterns that may be keeping you overwhelmed, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier ways of managing responsibilities and pressure.

Not Sure What Type of Support You Need?

That is completely okay.

You do not need to choose a diagnosis, specialty, or therapy approach before contacting us.

Our care coordinator and clinical director work together to understand what you are experiencing and help match you with a therapist based on your concerns, goals, personality, preferred style and approach, language, schedule, and insurance or payment needs.

If you begin therapy and feel the match is not right, we can reassess what you are looking for and help you transition to another therapist within Aspire without repeating the entire intake process.

Ani Martikyan, LMFT, Clinical Director at Aspire Counseling Group in Arcadia, California

Clinical Director Ani Martikyan, LMFT helps guide Aspire Counseling Group’s whole-person, evidence-based approach to therapy and thoughtful therapist matching.

How We Approach Therapy

Therapist-owned. Clinically led. Thoughtfully matched.

Our therapists look beyond symptoms to understand the broader context of your life, including relationships, family dynamics, culture, health, history, responsibilities, strengths, environment, and current circumstances.

Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate approaches such as CBT, DBT-informed therapy, EMDR, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy.

Our goal is not to fit every client into the same treatment model. We want to understand what you are experiencing and provide care that makes sense for your needs, strengths, preferences, and goals.
