About Me
Hello, and welcome to Autumn Counseling Services, LLC, I am Adrienne Dafcik (she/her,
they/them). I have openings available for individuals (ages 14+) and couples. I have an eclectic/integrative style and specialize in a whole person-systems approach to therapy. In therapy with me, clients can expect to gain knowledge about their diagnoses and develop reliable coping skills for managing mental and emotional health.
It is important to note, I am on the Autism Spectrum and deeply empathetic. As a trauma
survivor and therapy warrior myself, I have intimate and thorough knowledge of trauma, the
ways in which it can affect a person’s whole life, and the therapeutic processes necessary for
recovery. Clients can expect both warmth and clinical competency from me.
In all areas of life, having a strong sense of self is beneficial. Family and society tend to impose
on us who they think we should be. Many of us spend our lives shedding those impositions,
working endlessly to figure out who we are, how we really like to dress, how we like to talk, and
who we want to love. I have made it my personal mission in this life to help people be who they
are, naturally, wholly, organically, authentically, real; not societal constructs constantly trying to
live up to someone else’s standards. Let’s be real, together.
