“Talking with Arielle felt natural, and I felt truly heard. She listens thoughtfully and understands what you’re saying without overcomplicating it. I was navigating grief at the time, and our session helped me process it in a way that felt grounded and supportive. I left feeling clearer, and I would confidently recommend her.”

“I've been working with Arielle for several months now and she's been incredibly helpful. She creates a genuinely safe and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable opening up about difficult topics.
What I appreciate most is her ability to ask the right questions that help me arrive at my own insights rather than just telling me what to do. She's perceptive, compassionate, and has a way of reframing things that helps me see situations from new angles I wouldn't have considered on my own.
Arielle also strikes a great balance between being supportive and gently challenging me when I need it. She remembers details from previous sessions and builds on them, which shows she's really paying attention and invested in my progress.
I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled therapist who truly cares about helping you grow.”

Getting to know Arielle Sokoll-Ward
I love what I do, and I am grateful to be in this field. I’m a Level Two Certified Complex Trauma Professional and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)—two approaches I find especially effective for addressing trauma, grief, and other emotional wounds. In addition to my clinical work, I’m the author of Adding the E: Perspectives of Grief Through Recounts, Letters, and Poetry, and had the honor of presenting a TEDx Talk in 2019 on building resilience through grief. I am here to listen, hold space, and process with you as you tell your story. I'm also a Texas board-approved Clinical Supervisor for LMSWs wanting to gain clinical hours towards their LCSW.
My specialties include grief, loss, and bereavement, as well as trauma and PTSD. I also have extensive experience working with eating disorders, the LGBTQIA+ community, domestic and sexual violence, anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sometimes it takes a third-party perspective to help navigate and process who we are, who we can be, and what we want out of life. I will provide a comfortable space to discuss the uncomfortable, and together, we will delve deep so you can find the healing you deserve.
I believe that starting with a strength-based and relational approach and tailoring the sessions to your needs is important for building rapport and trust in the session. Therapy is not “one size fits all”, and I will meet you where you are with authenticity, flexibility, humor, and compassion.
Using creative methods, experiential therapeutic tools, and a variety of therapeutic models, you will feel like you are becoming the person you want to be. Maybe that looks like someone who lives alongside their grief rather than drowning it. Or someone who, through learning to listen to their body and utilizing coping skills, can stop intense anxiety from the very first sign. Whatever the case, I’m confident that through our work together, you will find a more secure, healed, and self-compassionate you. I am here to hold that space and show you that you are not alone. I will sit with you in your suffering and pain, witnessing your story.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Before the first session, I'll send you some assessments and intake paperwork to learn more about you and the goals you have. Our first session will consist of learning about your history, exploring what brings you to therapy in more depth, and discussing a plan for treatment.
Starting therapy and showing up for yourself can be hard to do AND you can do hard things! You will discover that you are more resilient than you think you are, and everything you need to heal is already within you. Therapy just gives it a roadmap.

Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes

Arielle immediately made me feel comfortable and safe. She was compassionate, funny and understanding. She gives tough love in the most caring way and guides from a place of experience. She’s made me feel fiercely seen in a way no one else has. I look forward to our next session.
