Meet Ardenna Downing

Hi!  I’m originally from the East Coast and my love for the ocean is a metaphor for how I approach my life and helping others in theirs!  While any coast is beautiful, it comes with challenges such as unexpected waves and currents.  Sometimes you have to dig in deep to find what you desire, just like in the coastal sands.  For digging deep, I use an integrated approach of working with one’s strengths, skill set, vision and brain background to stimulate positive results!

Brain Background; essentially it means that sometimes we get “stuck in the sand,” because of what we have mentally had to endure.  I use various techniques to help one become unstuck and free!  I enjoy helping the brain heal with interventions like EMDR and brainspotting.  Once we are able to become unstuck, we can manage the “waves” better, leading to your needs and wants.

Formally I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and am a licensed clinician in Texas. I’ve been in the field for over 12 years and have well rounded experience working with people in a variety of settings such as a jail, police department, outreach centers, shelters, school district, private practice, etc.  I’ve worked with individuals from age 4 up until their 70s on a variety of different life circumstances, challenges, and issues.  My passion is helping others feel empowered to work through challenges, experience some healing, and leading a life of freedom!

If you feel like you need to dig a bit deeper than coaching services, I am also available as a therapist in Texas.  Please visit me at Callery Counseling PLLC
