Ariana Nikita Zeppieri-Makhan

Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

I endeavour to meet you wherever you are. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates several modalities to effectively serve your unique goals and needs. My clients have often lived through grief, complex trauma, existential transitions, anxiety/depression, and identity challenges.

Everyone's therapy looks at least a little different. I hold space, listen, and integrate. I provide adaptation strategies, highlight trends, and interpret or draw connections. Invariably, I welcome feedback. This is your space. I look forward to walking with you.
