Who We Work With

We specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating high-functioning anxiety, life transitions, burnout, betrayal, grief, co-parenting, or the emotional impact of toxic relationships. Many of our clients appear successful on the outside but are carrying quiet emotional pain within. Whether you’re facing challenges in your relationships, recovering from narcissistic abuse, or simply seeking a safe, professional space to process and grow—we’re here to support your healing with intention and care.

Our Approach

At The Ariel De’Freeze Counseling Collective™, we provide high-quality, results-driven mental health care for women who are navigating far more than surface-level stress. Our practice offers clinically grounded, emotionally attuned therapy tailored for those experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, relationship distress, grief, betrayal, and major life transitions.

We understand the weight of emotional responsibility—especially for women who lead, nurture, and show up for everyone else while quietly carrying their own unspoken pain. Whether you’re managing a demanding career, healing from relational trauma, grieving a loss, or facing a deeply personal turning point—this space was designed with you in mind.

Our licensed clinicians and consulting providers specialize in helping women stabilize emotionally, rebuild trust in themselves, and process the internal experiences they’ve had little room to express. We offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that honors both your complexity and your capacity.

You’ll be matched with a qualified therapist who aligns with your values, goals, and availability—offering in-person or virtual sessions structured around your life, not in conflict with it.

What to Expect

Your therapy journey is structured with care from the very beginning.
From your initial intake to personalized treatment planning and ongoing sessions, every step is designed to support your healing with clarity, collaboration, and intention. Here's what you can expect along the way.

  • All sessions are conducted virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

    • Initial Diagnostic Assessment (60 minutes): $200
      A comprehensive evaluation to understand your history, current challenges, and therapy goals.

    • Individual Therapy Session (50 minutes): $175
      Ongoing personalized sessions focusing on your specific needs and progress.

    • Extended Therapy Session (75 minutes): $250
      For deeper exploration or when additional time is beneficial.

    • Treatment Planning Session (45 minutes): $150
      Collaborative development of a tailored treatment plan with measurable goals.

    • Brief Check-In Session (30 minutes): $100
      Short sessions for focused discussions or follow-ups.

  • We operate as a private-pay practice. Payment is due at the time of service. We accept major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and provide superbills upon request for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement

  • Once you request an appointment, you’ll receive a secure intake packet to complete online. This includes basic background information, consent forms, and clinical questionnaires that help guide our first conversation. Everything is HIPAA-compliant and designed to protect your privacy while giving me the insight needed to tailor your care from day one.

  • Our first session is a comprehensive diagnostic assessment that lasts 45–60 minutes. It’s a structured yet conversational space where we discuss your history, symptoms, stressors, and what you’d like to focus on. This session helps me understand your needs and is the foundation for developing a personalized treatment plan.

  • After the diagnostic session, we’ll schedule a focused planning session to create your individualized treatment plan. Together, we’ll define the problems you’d like to work on, set measurable goals, and outline the steps we’ll take to get there. This collaborative plan becomes the blueprint for our work together.

  • Therapy sessions are offered weekly or biweekly, depending on your individual needs and clinical goals. Together, we’ll determine the right treatment frequency during your planning session. Every six months, we’ll review your progress, update your goals, and refine your care to ensure therapy remains aligned with your growth and healing.
