Michael Arieta

Hello and welcome to my site. I have been licensed as a social worker since 1995 when I obtained my undergrad degree in social work. Since that time I have been licensed at the independent clinical level after obtaining my MSW degree and have been in practice independently since 2011. I work with a variety of clients with different issues, but I focus on trauma and how traumatic situations and life experiences impact how people see the world.

My approach to therapy is a humanistic, client centered approach. I am trained in social engagement and connection.

Clients can expect to come away from sessions being both seen and heard not just based on what problems they come with, but the entire person. I find ways that both the client and I can connect to form a helping relationship.
