Ariana Allgeier, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ariana!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Bay Area. I specialize in guiding clients toward meaningful change through a personalized, strengths-based approach. My areas of specialty include early childhood, adjustment to life transitions, parenting, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, ASD, and school-based support.

My focus

I work with clients ranging in age from preschool to adulthood, experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My approach

I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed, and inclusive services to every client. The frameworks I'm most familiar with include CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Theory, and PCIT.

My communication style

I use a collaborative, strength-based approach, including meeting my clients where they are and working together to get them where they want to be. I incorporate humor, mindfulness, and compassion into my work to help each client on their journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

We all deserve to have people in our lives whom we can trust and be vulnerable with. I find great joy and gratitude in being that person for others.

My goals for you

Through the use of assessment tools, observation, and client input, we develop treatment goals together.

Our first session

Our first session is focused on information gathering as well as answering any questions you may have about what our work together will look like.
