Getting to know Dr. Sima Ariam

Together we will find, define, and sometimes redefine your goals—the true you that sometimes feels like it’s escaping. Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice, people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes, feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive, destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic, and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism. With a PhD in Educational Psychology from New York University and over 25 years of experience pioneering eating disorder treatments, I have come to realize the importance of using a multi-method approach. This approach is not only verbal and analytical but also includes cognitive-behavioral techniques, dream interpretation, guided imagery, and group work. Group therapy intensifies, deepens, and facilitates results. Whether you are new to therapy or have had therapy that did not get you "unstuck," you will find this intuitive and collaborative approach effective and fulfilling. As an active and flexible listener, I will help you reach your goals. My focus is on removing the blocks that hold you back and letting you thrive and become yourself—figuring out how to achieve goals you didn’t even know you had.
