Therapists for Children in Tallahassee, FL
My ideal client is someone who’s tired of carrying everything alone—anxiety that won’t quiet down, old trauma that still shows up, relationship patterns that feel stuck, or emotions that hit out of nowhere. They want clarity, stability, and real connection. They want to feel like themselves again. They’re not looking for perfection—just a safe place to land, make sense of things, & finally move forward with support that feels steady and real.

One of my favorite quotes is "sometimes, when you are in a dark place, you think you've been buried, but you've actually been planted". Emotional pain can be so overwhelming that we feel unable to get out of the dark places by ourselves. Trying to navigate trauma, anxiety, hopelessness and stressful relationships, can create fear, doubt and shame to take up too much space in our lives. The way to healing and restoring the body, mind and spirit can feel challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone.

For over a decade, I've provided therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families within a number of settings, including: my private practice, two outpatient mental health centers, two hospitals, two nursing homes, several schools, a substance abuse treatment program, an eating disorder treatment center, and a community college.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I try to offer affordable mental health counseling, because I believe that therapy should be accessible to all who need it. I also offer art therapy, play therapy, and life coaching. I want to help you to feel better--and help you to achieve the goals that matter to you. If you want, you can try a phone or online session (so you can do therapy from the comfort of home). I really look forward to working with you. At times, therapy takes effort, but it's rewarding to see the results!

Therapy is a journey for every individual. I see my clients as captains while I am their
navigator, helping them reach their destination through a process called change. Obstacles are
present in all journeys, but the barriers in each client’s life are so uniquely challenging that they
often feel “stuck” or unable to leave the cycle that is creating the problem. As a therapist, I aim to focus on specific emotions and feelings while listening to language and meaning. During sessions, I relate what my client says about their problem to the content of our discussion then use systems theory to construct thoughts about their problems.

Challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, or the weight of feeling simply stuck can show up in many ways, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed when carrying them on your own. My name is Ariel, and I work with individuals, couples, and families on building healthier connections, communication, and intimacy, as well as navigating stressors and life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes for yourself and your relationships, whether you’re seeking therapy on your own, with a partner, or with family.

My passion is empowering individuals and couples to overcome personal obstacles and improve their relationships (with self, spouse, kids, family & work).
I could tell you all about my 25+ years of training/certifications, therapeutic methods, and the usual psychobabble jargon professionals use. However, if you are like most people, your main question is: "Can you help me in my situation?". To be honest, I don't know if I can help you until we meet and explore what is going on in your life that has led you to this search. Since 1994, I have assisted thousands of individuals, couples, and families in finding direction, solutions, and peace in their lives. If you are ready to let go of the pain and find solutions that work, contact us today. Email or text works best.

It can be difficult to find someone with the unique ability to connect with "difficult" teens and kids.

I utilize a mixture of evidence-based practices and creative exercises to meet people where they are at, develop a deep understanding of their circumstances, as well as how they are thinking about those circumstances.
