I'm Ari Leal, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor committed to an integrative practice that weaves together the complexities of the human experience with empathy, understanding, and specialized knowledge. My work is grounded in a biopsychosocial approach, acknowledging the interconnectedness of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors in wellbeing. I believe in meeting individuals where they are at each moment, honoring the journey of personal growth and healing with a practice that welcomes and affirms all identities, intersectionalities, and life paths.
My approach is integrative, blending Pragmatic Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and other mindfulness practices to support a holistic path to wellness.
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or seeking personal, professional, and spiritual growth, my practice is here to support you with a comprehensive, compassionate approach. Together, we will explore your path to healing and fulfillment, embracing the power of your own story and the strength of our shared humanity.

"
As individuals, we navigate our worlds through unique patterns of emotional and cognitive processing, and behavior. This underscores the fact that a single therapeutic approach cannot universally address everyone's needs. My practice is anchored in an innovative psychodynamic foundation that values and integrates methodologies like ACT, CBT, IFS, and MBCT.
