Getting to know Ariadne Lyon

Hi there, I'm Ariadne! Starting to look for a therapist can be overwhelming, so congratulations on taking a huge first step! I am a very self-compassion-focused therapist, which means that I will constantly be pointing out the ways that you are already trying your hardest to take care of yourself. I believe that most people deal with constant streams of self-criticism, which contributes to the feeling that you are not and will never be good enough. I’d be a great fit for anyone looking to notice and challenge their self-criticism, and to ultimately build a better relationship with themself. My approach I draw from Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support self-compassion, healing, and meaningful change. I strive to create a space where we can explore the parts of you that you may have felt shamed into hiding. My focus I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples of all ages. As a queer person of color, I also love supporting others in my community. I have experience supporting folks with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and emotional regulation challenges. My background includes working in outpatient mental health clinics and college counseling centers. I’m especially passionate about working with people navigating their gender or sexuality, and those healing from sexual trauma. My communication style My practice is rooted in warmth, respect, and the belief that you already hold the tools you need to thrive. I understand that opening up to a stranger can be intimidating, so building a trusting relationship is my first priority in sessions.
