Getting to know Ariella Lindenfeld

I provide a warm, collaborative, and grounded space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Many people come to me during moments of transition, stress, relationship challenges, or self-doubt, and together we work toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional resilience. I use an integrative approach drawing from talk therapy, psychodynamic work, mindfulness, DBT skills, and creative arts therapy. While creativity can be a powerful tool for exploration, it is always optional—I fully support clients who prefer traditional verbal therapy. My goal is to help you connect more deeply with yourself, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with your values.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m engaged, compassionate, and real in the room. I’m not a silent therapist—I ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and create a space where you can bring your full self without pressure or expectations. Your comfort matters, and we move at a pace that feels right for you. I tailor therapy to each individual, using approaches that fit your personality, goals, and needs. Above all, you can expect a supportive environment where you feel genuinely listened to, respected, and empowered throughout the process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and what feels most important for us to focus on together. I take time to understand your background, strengths, and patterns so we can create a plan that feels authentic and achievable. As we continue, sessions often include a mix of reflection, emotional processing, and concrete strategies to help you navigate daily life. When helpful, I may incorporate creative or narrative approaches to deepen insight or make it easier to express thoughts and feelings that are hard to articulate. Throughout the process, I check in regularly to ensure the work feels supportive and aligned with your goals. Therapy with me is collaborative—you’re always in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to guide, support, and help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
