Getting to know Ariel Mendelson

Hi there, I'm Ariel! Hi! I'm Ariel Mendelson, a mama, wife, and licensed professional clinical counselor with a Master’s in Guidance and Counseling from California State University, San Bernardino. I practice from a humanistic, client-centered lens, prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding to support clients in their personal growth. By fostering a non-judgmental and collaborative environment, I help clients explore their potential, navigate challenges, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and empowerment. My approach Specializing in humor, warmth, and empathy, I combine a humanistic/client-centered lens with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy is a powerful tool for addressing issues such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, and emotional regulation. By fostering a collaborative and direct approach, I work with clients to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, empowering them to achieve their goals while ensuring a supportive and positive experience. My focus I work with a diverse range of clients, including teens, tweens, parents, and young adults, providing tailored support through various life stages and challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stressors, and emotional regulation difficulties. By creating a safe, compassionate space, I help clients explore concerns, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth, allowing them to navigate their experiences with greater resilience and confidence. My communication style In sessions, I create a tone that is warm, empathetic, and lighthearted, often incorporating humor to help put clients at ease. I believe therapy should feel comfortable and inviting, and I approach each client as the unique individual they are, fostering a non-judgmental and supportive environment.
