Ariel Adams is a licensed professional counselor dedicated to ensuring individuals understand that they do not have to continue living the way they always have. She believes that suffering does not have to be a constant in life, and that each person can choose a path toward self-discovery and empowerment. Ariel recognizes that life can present unexpected obstacles, which may require a course change. Through therapy, she enables individuals to feel empowered to overcome their barriers and confront internal challenges head-on. She focuses on addressing the deeper issues that contribute to presenting problems—like unhealthy attachments, trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictions—rather than merely applying a bandaid approach. Ariel's counseling philosophy revolves around unlearning harmful patterns and replanting positive, self-confident thoughts that allow individuals to reconnect with their true selves. She helps individuals realize their capacity for peace and contentment, guiding them to live lives free from past burdens. Grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside her clients, Ariel understands that it can be daunting to find a safe space to explore the more challenging aspects of oneself. She prioritizes creating an environment of safety and trust, encouraging individuals to shine a light into their darker corners. Her focus areas include working with those who have fears of connection and intimacy, starting the journey of self-exploration with a compassionate heart. Ariel looks forward to helping individuals meet themselves anew.
