Getting to know Ariel Black
Hi there, my name is Ariel Black, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Southern California. I hold a Master's in Counseling from California State University, Northridge, and have over 10 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing my clients with long-term holistic healing. I primarily work with adults and mature teens who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and previous childhood trauma.
I believe there is no exact recipe or standardized treatment in therapy. Each person who comes to see me is unique and presents a different set of issues. This is why I aim to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to help each person achieve their goals. As a psychodynamic therapist, my main focus is the relationship and connection I have with my clients. I believe it is important to feel grounded and secure when processing deep-rooted and painful issues.
Some common themes in my practice include family abuse, sexual trauma, grief and loss, relational trauma, attachment issues, co-dependency, abandonment, and neglect.
I understand that the healing process can be overwhelming and difficult, which is why I strive to provide my clients with a safe, supportive space to address their presenting issues or concerns.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
