Hi! I'm Dr. Araceli López-Arenas aka "Dr. Cheli" and I earned a doctorate degree in Counseling Psychology, a Master of Science in Educational Psychology, and a Master of Public Health in Social and Behavioral Health.
My extensive experience and training allows me to guide you in reaching your life-altering goals. Are you working towards licensure as a psychologist? Finishing your dissertation? Publishing to get tenure? Starting a business? Wanting to start dating again? Exploring career options? Improving your physical health? Modifying your mindset for productivity and success?
My client success stories reflect my ability to, time after time, help clients improve their physical health and mental wellbeing as they work towards their goals. I guide my clients by assessing their values, developing achievable and data driven goals, as well as by helping clients take committed action towards the goals they set for themselves.
My education and training in evidence-based interventions allows me to provide you, the client, with the tools and methods you need to achieve your goals. All while sustaining both physical and mental well-being.
Having "ganas" towards achieving a goal means that you are resilient, you persevere, you have grit, and you won't let anything get in your way. Sometimes though, we need a little extra support and I am here to provide you with the "Go!" to your ganas.
Want to know how to move forward?
Behavioral cues are important and I create inspirational accessories that motivate and celebrate your goals and ganas!
