Ariana Wood, MS, LPC
Fully Trained EMDR Therapist
Licensed Professional Counselor
Ariana specializes in adolescent and adult counseling for those coping with trauma, anxiety, parenting stress, cancer treatment or survivorship, and adult insecure attachment. She is coming on a decade of experience working in human services and received her Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Carlow University.
Ariana believes everyone is shaped by their past, but the past can sometimes come to haunt you. Arriving at a place of peace often involves reprocessing those past painful memories and facing the negative messages that those experiences told you about yourself. This is what Ariana facilitates in her work with her clients.
Ariana’s mission as a counselor is to meet you where you are, help you build up a toolbox of coping skills, and then venture into the journey of healing with you. She believes that every person possesses the ability to heal themselves with their own power, and that it is crucial that she, as a therapist, foster hope in healing. Ariana utilizes cognitive therapy and EMDR therapy to help clients articulate their thoughts and core beliefs, but also employs attachment theory, cognitive processing therapy, and trauma-focused care to help her clients seek the changes they want in their lives.
