I’m Ariel De’Freeze, a licensed independent therapist and trauma recovery expert. I help those in need heal from the effects of betrayal, narcissistic abuse, relationship trauma, and emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients come to me carrying silent battles—trying to “hold it together” on the outside while falling apart inside. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. My approach is real, relatable, and rooted in clinical expertise. I offer a judgment-free space to unpack what’s heavy, reclaim your voice, and begin creating a life that reflects your worth, not your wounds.
I help women break free from toxic cycles, manage anxiety and depression, and reclaim their identity after trauma or betrayal. My approach blends evidence-based tools with deep emotional support to help you process pain, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity. You’ll gain practical strategies for boundaries, healing, and emotional resilience.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I offer a compassionate, culturally aware space to heal and grow. Together, we’ll create a path toward clarity and emotional relief. I'm here to support you—let's take the next step forward.
