Ariana Kiefer, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ariana!

I specialize in anxiety and depression, and issues of life phases.

My focus

I focus on healing the individual and can treat across the lifespan, but I really enjoy working with late teens and young adults.

My approach

I tend to lean on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices and blend and borrow from other modalities when needed. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and I like to treat the individual on a case-by-case basis.

My communication style

I always cultivate a warm and welcoming setting for my clients and explain the therapy process step-by-step. I strive to make the therapy process easy and one in which the client looks forward to each session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about supporting people through life's challenges and helping them discover their strengths. My path to this work has been shaped by a deep belief in the power of connection and the resilience within each person.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with the client and meet them where they are in their process.

Our first session

I like to create an easy first session where we get to know each other.
