Hello! My name is Arashi, although I would prefer to be called Ari. I believe you are the expert of your own experience and I am grateful to be considered to be part of your journey. Embarking on the self work and healing journey can be scary, and it is important to prioritize taking care of your mental health to lead a peaceful and fulfilled life. I will guide and support you throughout your therapeutic journey, you don’t have to do it alone! As a FL Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH#24046) and PA Licensed Professional Counselor (PC018981), I specialize working with individuals who struggle or have struggled with narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature parents, family/relationship issues, immigrants struggling with acculturation & the current political climate. I support LGBTQIA individuals as well as young professionals & college students seeking to better understand themselves. I am not a Marriage and Family therapist, nor do I offer couples counseling.
Clients can expect to feel hope and empowerment as we work together to achieve their specific goals. The sessions are client driven and I work with you to identify your therapeutic needs. I provide a relaxed environment and gentle approach.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to support and encourage you to achieve your goals in therapy. I use a holistic and trauma informed approach, as well as evidence based practices, and various therapeutic modalities and techniques depending on your individual needs.
I love working with adults who may be experiencing difficult life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem issues, complex family dynamics/emotionally immature parents, grief, LGBTQ, survivors of narcissistic abuse, etc. My ideal client is eager to learn, grow, change and embrace their healing journey.

From the very first session, they made me feel comfortable, valued, and truly heard. They have this warm, genuine personality that puts you at ease, and you can tell they really care—not just as a professional, but as a person. Their encouragement and thoughtful insights have helped me work through things I never thought I’d be able to face. I’ve come such a long way in my mental health journey thanks to their support, patience, and positivity.

Ari truly listened and created a safe, comfortable space to be honest and open. What I love most is how goal oriented our session was. Our conversation felt purposeful and supportive. It’s rare to find someone who balances empathy with direction so well. I left our session feeling understood, encouraged, and a step closer to where I want to be.
