Not accepting new clients
Updated August 8, 2023: I am currently full and not available to accept new or returning clients at the time. Hello! My name is Ariel and I have the amazing opportunity to serve individuals who battle with trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, transitional and adjustment issues and more. I am trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) in order to help you take the steps toward being the best version of yourself again.
I have a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Ph.D in Educational Psychology. Let me know if you have questions.
I always say anybody can be a good therapist, but in order to be a great therapist, there has to be a connection between the two parties in the sessions. I am all about building rapport first and I want to make sure you succeed in this. If you feel that I may be the person to help you on this journey, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! :)

Therapy for trauma can be like going on a rollercoaster you're afraid of but going with a best friend because you trust them. We WILL be building a relationship first so we trust each other unconditionally and I want to ensure that you want to do this with someone you trust and feel comfortable around. It can feel like a lot and I want you to feel at peace in the journey.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings and behaviors for the better.
