About Authentic Expressions Counseling

I recognize that people often face challenges and difficulties when they are disconnected from their authentic selves. This disconnection can occur due to societal expectations, past traumas, cultural influences, or other factors that lead individuals to suppress or hide aspects of their true identity. By encouraging individuals to explore and express their authentic selves, Authentic Expressions Counseling aims to promote self-acceptance, personal growth, and overall well-being.

About Me

Danielle Louie, LPC, NCC

I'm Danielle, a trauma-informed Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor offering therapeutic services to adult individuals to help them overcome challenges and find greater fulfillment in life. Through our sessions, we'll work together to explore your inner world, unique experiences, emotions, and goals in a safe and supportive space.

  • Individual counseling is the most common form of counseling. It can be a transformative process that utilizes various therapeutic approaches providing an array of benefits including, but not limited to, emotional healing and growth, improved coping skills, relationship enhancement, increased self confidence and empowerment, and mental health and symptom management.

  • Couples counseling often focuses on enhancing the relationship between intimate partners. The therapist creates a safe and non-judgmental space for couples to explore their challenges, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen their connection. It can also focus on helping couples navigate their relational future and the best path forward for both individuals.

    *Couples Counseling sessions are limited. To check for availability and to schedule, please contact me directly by email or phone at Danielle@AECounseling.org or (208)917-1362.

  • Group therapy provides a unique therapeutic setting that harnesses the power of shared experiences and support from peers. It involves a small group of individuals facing similar challenges or goals, guided by a skilled therapist. Group therapy can be focused on specific themes, such as grief and loss, addiction recovery, trauma healing, or personal growth. Participants have the opportunity to share their experiences, gain insights from others, receive support, and practice new skills within a safe and confidential group setting. Group therapy also fosters a sense of belonging, reduces isolation, and promotes interpersonal learning and growth.

  • Authentic Expressions Counseling brings a unique and holistic therapeutic approach, integrating existential principles with expressive arts modalities such as Sandtray Therapy and other creative techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). Through a compassionate and person-centered approach, I help clients explore their existential concerns, discover meaning and purpose, and engage in a transformative healing process.
