Ariella Peist

My communication style

I'm warm, honest, and direct. I create a space that is safe and judgment-free, and I'll help you get insight and recognize your growth potential.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that there's nothing quite like being trusted with someone's most vulnerable experiences. I was drawn to this work by a deep belief in people's capacity to heal and grow, and after 15+ years, I am still moved by the courage it takes to begin and the transformation I get to witness.

My goals for you

Treatment goals are built together from your point of view. Understanding those, we'll build a path forward, providing tools you can use and strategies that can help with progress. We will review progress and adjust as needed so therapy stays meaningful and moving. Small shifts add up, and I'll help you notice them over time.

Our first session

The first session is the opportunity to get to know what this space might feel like, what you are challenged by, and how I can support you. It's relaxed and focuses on you. We'll talk about what brought you here, and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to have it all figured out, as we will figure it out together.
