My commitment to enhancing accessibility and understanding in these areas underscores my passion for empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being. In my counseling approach, I prioritize active listening and client-centered care. Your growth and goals are at the forefront of our sessions, as I work collaboratively with you to navigate the path toward healing and personal fulfillment. In addition to individual counseling, I specialize in couples therapy, helping partners navigate complex issues like communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust. Through tailored interventions and empathetic support, I assist couples in cultivating deeper understanding, connection, and resilience within their relationships. I also offer individual counseling for personal growth, healing, and support, providing a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions on their journey towards greater well-being and fulfillment. Insight and progress can often be achieved in just one session, though the benefits of ongoing therapy are profound. Whether you're stepping into counseling for the first time or continuing your therapeutic journey, my objective remains the same: to provide you with the compassionate support and guidance you deserve. Your willingness to engage in therapy is deeply appreciated, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Hi there, my name is Ariel Black and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Southern California. I have over 10 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy and I am passionate about providing my clients with long-term holistic healing. I primarily work with adults that struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD and previous childhood trauma. I believe that there is no exact recipe or standardized treatment in therapy. Each person that comes to see me is unique and presents a different set of issues. This is why I hope to create an individualized treatment plan that is tailored towards helping each person achieve their goals. As a psychodynamic therapist, my main focus is the relationship and connection I have with my clients. I believe that it is important to feel grounded and secure when processing deep rooted and painful issues. Some of the common themes in my practice include: family abuse, sexual trauma, grief/loss, relational trauma, attachment issues, co-dependency, abandonment, and neglect.
