Arielle Tovar, MSW, LSW

I bring an enthusiastic, caring, and understanding approach to working with my clients. I understand that taking the steps to start the healing process is not always easy. I work hard to ensure my clients feel comfortable and heard during their sessions, while also making sure that we are equals working together towards my clients' goals. I strive to create a long-term solution, not just a short-term one. I will help you work on the deep-rooted issues so there can be a full healing process instead of a quick “band-aid repair.” I tailor my approach for each individual client to meet you where you are at. I have worked with children most of my life and have a passion for supporting children, adolescents, adults, and parents in the clinical setting.
