The First Step in Your Healing Journey
In a culture that over-values independence, it can be hard to determine when to ask for help.
I would like to congratulate you on visiting my website and recognizing your inner advocate!

Aurora Counseling PLLC is a therapy service run by myself, Auriza Ugalino.
I have a Master's in Social Work from the University of Washington and am a licensed Associate Therapist with Mindful Therapy Group.
​​
I work from a community-focused, social justice lens to
recognize how we fit into the bigger picture, and collaborate
with you on ways to surmount the insurmountable.

Let's find solutions together to make the most out of your life.
Therapy Sessions with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker
For nearly a decade, I've engaged in community-oriented work to build a strong foundation for my practice.
In 2023, I graduated with my MSW at the University of Washington (ranked 3rd in the nation for its social work program).
Holistic, Personalized,
Integrated Approach
Therapy is more than just paced breathing and self care... it's what you want to do!

As a social worker with experience in multiple backgrounds - including ethnic studies and mental health - I know that our healing does not exist in a vacuum. Together, let's find solutions for your specific problems.
