Arielle Sokoll-Ward LCSW-S

I am foundationally a relational therapist, meaning that the relationship, trust, and rapport built between the client and therapist is the most important thing. Research agrees that the client-therapist relationship is the leading factor in successful and impactful therapy. I call myself a validating challenger because I'm going to validate you to the moon and back, and I'll call you on your shit. I bring humor, authenticity, psychoeducation, and a passionate attitude to the therapeutic space. You will discover that you are more resilient than you think you are, and everything that you need to heal is already within you. Therapy just gives it a roadmap.

I find it to be most rewarding working directly with my clients in a warm, comfortable, inviting, and non-judgmental environment. My qualifications include being a trained complex trauma EMDR clinician and a Level Two certified clinical trauma professional. I am also trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and a Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor. I like to provide a space where clients feel comfortable processing difficult emotions so they can leave the session feeling a greater sense of resilience, confidence, and happiness. I specialize in working with clients who have/are experiencing grief, loss, and trauma. I have experience working with a variety of issues and populations: Eating disorders, severe mental illness, survivors of abuse, LGBTQ+, domestic violence and sexual violence, the unhoused population, depression, anxiety, PTSD, medical trauma, relationship and interpersonal struggles, and life transitions. I'm the author of the book, "Adding the E: Perspectives of Grief Through Recounts, Letters, and Poetry", and a 2019 TEDx speaker on the topic of finding resilience within grief.
