My goal is to provide personalized and collaborative care that supports both your emotional well-being and the biological factors that affect mental health.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about walking alongside individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or impacted by past experiences. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported, I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions, and I believe healing looks different for everyone.

With over 19 years of counseling experience, I understand how difficult it may be to take that first step to enter therapy. I believe that people are capable of making life changes, sometimes needing support and guidance. Oftentimes, natural supports surround us, we are just unaware of how to tap into them.
I work from a strength based perspective to provide solution-focused counseling for a range of life issues. By focusing on needs and goals we begin to uncover strengths and resources to help create a sustainable future.
When you feel the need to connect with a professional in order to address any issues or begin building a bridge to your next life goal, please reach out.
Ari Gabin is an LCSW who mentors his clients while staying ever cautious to their unique needs. It is a process that he has successfully mastered during his interactions with a culturally diverse population. In a therapeutic partnership, he uses strategies that enhance resilience and fortitude to help clients offset the turbulent times that plague the fibers of happiness.
His therapy style is warm, engaging, interactive, and collaborative. Each session is tailored to the client and treatment is based on individual needs. Each client is unique and requires a tailor-made treatment plan to help them reach their goal. He uses a myriad of theory and techniques, including CBT, DBT, interpersonal process therapy, emotion-focused therapy, existential therapy, crisis intervention, mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, psychoeducation, and solution-focused therapy (among other modalities).

I am an experienced Clinical Social Worker and Registered Yoga Teacher. My approach is down to earth, respectful, and compassionate. Clients I've worked with have ranged broadly in age, ethnicity, and gender identity.
I help people navigate life, as they seek to better understand why they are in the place they find themselves, who they are in relation to the world and others, and where they would like to be.
I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.
I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.
I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.
Seeking help for your mental health is a courageous first step, and I'm honored to be part of that journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

I also have experience supporting individuals living with dementia and behavioral symptoms associated with aging.
My approach is collaborative and personalized because I believe that no two people are the same. I take time to understand your unique experiences, goals, and challenges before developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether treatment includes medication management, supportive therapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination of approaches, my focus is helping you feel better while empowering you to take an active role in your care.
Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new provider who truly listens, I look forward to partnering with you. Together, we'll work toward improving your mental wellness, strengthening your resilience, and helping you live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
