AITIA

(eh-tee-ah)

Aitia is derived from the Greek philosophical word "αιτία," meaning the root cause or explanation.

My goal is to help you identify the underlying causes of your concerns and prevent future issues, rather than masking the roots of the problems.

Aristotle used theories on metaphysics to explain how things came to be.

He stated there are "four causes (aitias)" to the question "why?" that result in change: material cause, formal cause, efficient cause, final cause.

(Physics II:3; Metaphysics V:2)

"We should consider how many and what sorts of causes there are. For...we think we know something only when we find the reason why it is so, that is, when we find its primary cause (aitia)."

(Physics II:3; Metaphysics V:2)

What do previous clients say?

"Angela was my first therapist ever and I saw her 1x/wk for over 2 years. She does cognitive behavioral therapy, EFT, EMDR, mindfulness and more. She helped me get the tools I needed to heal, grow and thrive after traumatic events in my life. I am forever grateful to this absolutely gifted therapist. She also has a nutrition background and takes a holistic approach."

"Angela is one of the best counselors I have been to! She is extremely compassionate, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel heard and supported in your thoughts and struggles. Therapy can be tough, but I always left each session feeling better and more at peace. She helped me address and overcome anxieties and traumas by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and practicing mindfulness, as well as providing me with various coping mechanisms and tools to use outside of our sessions. I am so grateful for the help and support she gave me. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!"

I have had several therapists over the years and I can say that Angela is one of the best I have had. Angela is kind, compassionate, understanding, and wonderfully positive. Angela has a wide range of skills that allow her to connect with a patient no matter what they are dealing with. Her background in nutrition is a bonus, as it brings an extra therapeutic tool to the table that many therapists do not have. Opening up to a therapist can be extremely difficult, I know that it was for me, but Angela makes that difficulty almost non existent. You never feel any judgment from her, only compassion. She comfortably challenges you without pressuring you. I highly recommend Angela as a therapist to begin your journey to healing, you will not regret choosing her.

"It felt like a small miracle occurred when I walked out of my first session with Angela Fruhner. I knew I had met someone who could truly see and hear what I was trying to ‘unpack’ and heal in my life. She had effective, efficient tools for transforming trauma and emotional pain that I couldn’t clear on my own. I laughed and cried - I looked forward to our sessions. After working with Angela a couple months I knew she was skilled, capable and excellent at holding space for the healing I was ready to do. Angela was the right partner to go deep into the well of life and clear out/transform the old, distant, yet familiar pain that was disrupting my relationships and my ability to co-create with the Universe in the ways I know I came here to do. Investing in myself and time with Angela was a fabulous use of my time and resources. Once you meet her you will understand what I mean and feel thankful she got in your orbit."

"I was seeking counseling for my 15-year-old daughter who was struggling with high anxiety. She was transitioning from junior high to high school. She was having a really hard time knowing how to manage the pressures from school, sports and friendships. I was really concerned about the amount of time she was spending on social media and the lack of sleep she was getting. Sleep deprivation was causing her to have mental breakdowns and many tearful days. I didn't know how to help her and my concerns for her wellbeing were keeping me up at night. That is when we sought help from Angela." 
 
"My daughter was very reluctant to go to therapy, and I pretty much had to drag her in. She fell in love with Angela the minute she met her and couldn't wait to see her again. Angela is warm, friendly, kind, and very attentive. She's a good listener, and very genuine. She was a wonderful counselor for my daughter. I'm so grateful that my daughter's first experience left such a positive imprint on her. This is so important because we want our kids to know that therapy is a safe place that will help them through difficult aspects of their life."
