Women’s therapist in Gates Mills offering trauma-informed therapy and grief counseling.

The Clinician Behind the Practice

Dr. Ariel De’Freeze, DSW, LISW-S Clinician and Founder

I specialize in women’s mental health, supporting clients who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck on the inside. Many are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, life transitions, or relationship stress—while still carrying responsibilities and expectations.

Therapy offers a private space to rebuild clarity, strengthen self-trust, and create lasting change—without judgment or surface-level conversations.

With 9+ years of clinical experience, I provide clinically grounded, culturally responsive therapy that helps clients strengthen self-worth, build healthier patterns, and move forward with confidence.

I offer private-pay virtual therapy across Ohio. Sessions are discreet, flexible, and designed to fit your life.

While this practice specializes in women’s mental health, we welcome all individuals who resonate with our approach and values.
