Ariana Ansel

Ariana Ansel completed her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lebanon Valley College in May of 2024 and is working through the process of becoming an LPC through working under supervision with her LAPC license. Ariana works with clients across the lifespan to build resiliency and improve overall well-being through a variety of modalities, tailored to her client's individual goals and preferences. A few of these techniques include DBT, CBT, ACT, journaling and art therapy interventions. When working with children, Ariana employs a play-based style of teaching these skills through the use of games, sandtrays, and art therapy exercises. 

Ariana also has knowledge of neuroscience for clients who are interested in learning the how of behaviors, not just their personal why. Throughout her internship with the practice and her current pre-license supervision, Ariana has experience working with symptoms of ADHD, depression, bipolar disorders, and a variety of anxieties and phobias. Her goal is to create a calm and inviting space for healing and introspection with a balance of active listening for those who need an ear and targeted interventions for those ready to take the hands-on approach. 

Ariana also encourages those with spiritual and religious beliefs to find the interconnection between these and their mental health. In her free time, Ariana enjoys creative hobbies such as crochet and photography, as well as reading and yoga.
