Arianne MacBean

My intention when working with clients is to provide exemplary empathic attunement and real, felt, relational alignment. I naturally acknowledge and return to feelings, memories, and dreams as messages worthy of attention. I meet my clients where they need to be met, a partner in the discovery and illumination of the mysteries of psyche, soul, body, mind. I bring my passion for somatic and creative healing techniques to my practice as a way to support relational and person-centered therapy. I believe that growth comes from tender curiosity into our shadow selves and that self-discovery arrives when we open ourselves to authenticity. I am a wife, mother, daughter, and friend as well as an eternally developing woman. I look forward to being of service to your life’s journey toward self-hood.

I offer psychotherapy and somatic psychotherapy, providing a safe space to collaborate with my clients on their journey of discovery, knowledge, and self love. I specialize in work with professionals and creatives. I have experience working with grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, veterans-related issues, chronic illness, professional challenges, substance misuse, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I provide talk therapy as well as body-based approaches to healing.

In the first session, I like to check in with my clients about how they feel in the here-and-now moment, addressing any questions or concerns they might have about starting therapy. I also go over confidentiality agreements, policies, and treatment protocols. Together, with my client, we discuss therapeutic goals and what the journey might look like over the next few sessions.
