Ariell utilizes both group and individual therapy, with expertise in leading groups with topics such as Financial Wellness and How to Be an Adult. Ariell is an eclectic therapist who combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapy c evidence-based approaches.

The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem, and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counselling process. Ariell believes in providing holistic therapy, helping clients discover their multiple inner strengths to live a wholly present, healthy life. She works to cultivate an environment of unconditional positive regard to facilitate inner peace and healing for her clients.

Ariell is trained in EMDR, which is an evidence-based trauma treatment that can also be used to treat anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use, and other disorders. Ariell is certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to treat Insomnia. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia is an evidence-based approach that works well as the first line of treatment for sleep issues. CBT-I treats insomnia without the use of medication and helps manage chronic sleep issues. CBT-I involves meeting weekly with a counsellor who specializes in CBT-I for 2-3 months.

In these sessions, the clinician will give you a series of sleep assessments, do a sleep diary, and come up with a treatment plan to change the way you sleep. Ariell is currently providing counselling to adolescents and adults of all ages and is comfortable providing counselling to individuals of all varying faiths and backgrounds.
