Meet Adrienne Naleppa
Some chapters of life change everything, the way we see ourselves, the future we imagined, and the sense of safety we once felt. For me, divorce and high-conflict co-parenting were among those chapters.
I know what it feels like to grieve a relationship while still showing up for your children, making difficult decisions, and trying to hold yourself together. I remember how much energy it takes to appear okay when, inside, you feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. Those experiences helped shape my path toward becoming a therapist and the care I bring to this work.
Today, I help women and men navigate the emotional weight of relationships, whether they are hoping to reconnect or learning how to move forward after an ending.
Through couples counseling, I help partners slow down, hear one another, and understand the hurt beneath recurring arguments. When both people want to work toward repair, we focus on rebuilding trust, strengthening connection, and creating a healthier foundation for their family.
I have a particular passion for supporting women experiencing divorce and high-conflict custody situations. There can be so much fear, anger, grief, and exhaustion and so few places where you feel free to say it all. In our work together, there is room for your story, including the parts that feel messy, painful, or difficult to explain.
I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), Certified Grief Professional (CGP), and Certified Family Reunification Specialist (CFRS). These specialized trainings inform my work with individuals and families navigating trauma, loss, and strained relationships.
I am also a Christian therapist, and, when you wish, I integrate biblical concepts and faith into our sessions. Your beliefs and preferences guide this part of our work. I welcome clients of all faiths and those who prefer counseling without a spiritual focus.
My own experience helps me appreciate how deeply personal this journey is, but I will never assume yours looks like mine. I want to understand what you have lived through, what matters to you, and what healing could look like in your life.
You don’t have to arrive with the right words or a plan for what comes next. You can begin exactly where you are.
My approach uses a multimodal framework that integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we explore how your experiences shape your relationships, recognize thought patterns that may keep you feeling stuck, and practice making room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward the life you want. I tailor our work to your needs, values, and pace.
