Geraldine Ariza

I believe therapy is an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and becoming more equipped to navigate life’s challenges. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves and know that they do not have to navigate difficult experiences alone. My goal is to empower each client to recognize their strengths, build confidence, and develop the tools they need to move through whatever they may be experiencing. I believe that meaningful change happens through collaboration, and I work alongside clients and families to help them identify their goals and find a path forward that feels meaningful to them.

I take a client-centered and strengths-based approach to therapy and draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and evidence-based approaches to anxiety and OCD, including exposure-based interventions. I am also open to providing bilingual services in English and Spanish and look forward to continuing to expand my clinical training, including through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking, going to the movies, and exploring new coffee shops.
