About
Ariel Black, M.S., L.M.F.T. #119825, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who uses psychodynamic therapy within a holistic, client-centered care framework. She specializes in supporting high-functioning individuals coping with depression, trauma (including PTSD), grief/loss, and anxiety.
Ariel works with adults with childhood and sexual trauma, teens/adolescents/early 20's, and the LGBTQ+ community, addressing relational conflict, low self-esteem, work-related stress for medical professionals, and substance use. She has practiced in non-profit agencies and private practice and offers in-person, phone, and video sessions.
Her approach helps clients aged 14 and above explore how past experiences shape present patterns to pursue deep-rooted lifestyle change through individual and family therapy; she does not offer couples counseling. Ariel prioritizes a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and offers a 15-minute phone consultation to assess fit.
