My name is Bella Scarnechia, entering my internship phase as part of my Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Grand Canyon University. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and individuals navigating life transitions and changes. I strive to create a warm, safe, and collaborative environment where clients feel supported and empowered to build on their strengths.
Having experienced significant life transitions at a young age, I bring a deeper sense of empathy and understanding to my work. I am particularly interested in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strength-based approaches, and play therapy, and I aim to integrate these modalities to support clients in meaningful and developmentally appropriate ways. I am committed to continuous personal and professional growth and to developing evidence-based counseling skills that foster resilience, promote healing, and create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of those I have the privilege of supporting in their healing journey.
