Ariana (she/they) is a neurodivergent, queer, liberation-oriented therapist who has been working in the field of mental health since 2015, and launched her private practice in 2024. As a licensed independent clinical social worker, Ariana believes that the systems in society have created long-term harm to all of its members and that, through radical work, this harm can be undone, both on an individual level and on a collective level. To do this within their practice, they take on a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens while also holding the understanding of the mental health system and the oppressive harm it has brought onto folks – both historically and today. As a result, she is mindful of her practice being a collaborative effort, with the client being empowered to enact and learn to live in the world in a way that they feel supported and cared for. Ariana warmly welcomes the opportunity to work with folks from all walks of life -whether through individual or through couples counseling- and invites anyone to reach out to her to begin a conversation around accessing therapy with her. While Ariana does not interact directly with insurance companies, some insurance companies will allow you to submit claims for reimbursement as an "out-of-network" benefit. She can provide you with a statement of services rendered ("superbill") to submit to your insurance company in order to access reimbursement benefits.
