Are you between 18-99? Or maybe you are a parent looking for help for your child or teenager? Are you struggling to feel happy? Feeling overwhelmed? Or maybe life is just hard right now. I totally get it. I have been there too. Hi! My name is Ariel Scherer, LCSW. I am so glad that you are here. The first step is always the hardest. With over eight years of experience, I specialize in empowering individuals of all ages in navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, child trauma, and life adjustments.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is an introduction to one another and an opportunity for you to share your story. I believe in creating a warm and inviting environment to develop trust between one another. I will gather more information about you, your history and goals for the future. We will then work together to develop a plan to help you reach them! You are not alone in this journey!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I want my clients to know that I get it! I am human too. We all struggle and my own challenges and experiences along with my clinical training have allowed me to be a better therapist. These experiences allow me to approach each individual uniquely and with empathy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

This is your journey, and you should be in the driver seat. I am a firm believer that we already know what we want and need, we just need some guidance along the way. I will be here to help you navigate your journey, be an encourager and challenge you. I love working with various ages and have experience from as young as 6 and to as old (young) as 99.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been using CBT in my practice over the past three years. It has helped many individuals when treating their depression and anxiety. This approach helps identifies how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Once we learn this, we can work on challenging your thoughts to help alleviate the challenges that come with anxiety and depression.

I did not know Ariel when I started my session with Growtherapy. I picked her because I like her specialty. So far I am very satisfied with the way she explain each situations or questions I had. I believe that this therapy is helping me.
