Ariella Fershtadt

Hi! My name is Ariella. I attended Hunter College in the Mental Health Counseling field, and have worked in both a Community Mental health Clinic, as well as served as a Home-Based Family Therapist in high crime rate neighborhoods. I have had to the opportunity to work with individuals of various ages, genders, cultures, and races. I have worked with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, as well as day to day struggles such as emotional regulation, routine, problem solving, communication, and conflict management. The majority of my experience includes working with minority clients and families of low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Past individuals and families I have worked with would describe me as patient, non-judgemental, empathetic, understanding, and someone who is “really hearing them.”
