Arielle Ashford, LSW, ERYT-500, is a clinical social worker and experienced yoga educator whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, embodiment, and integrative healing. She supports clients ages 13–25 who are navigating life transitions, trauma, recovery, identity formation, and the complexity of becoming oneself in a world that often feels overwhelming or uncertain.

Arielle’s clinical approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, narrative therapy, polyvagal-informed care, and somatic and yoga-based practices. She believes that healing occurs not only through insight, but through learning to understand and regulate the nervous system, reconnecting with the wisdom of the body, and cultivating tools that support resilience and clarity.

Her practice is especially supportive for clients experiencing
— life transitions and identity questions
— trauma symptoms
— burnout and emotional exhaustion
— spirituality or existential exploration
— women’s issues and oldest-sister/parentified-child dynamics
— sleep disturbances
— substance use challenges
— personality disorder features
— recovery and rebuilding after hardship

Arielle brings a decade of experience in the field of yoga, embodiment, and community care, allowing her to integrate body-based tools in a clinically safe, developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed way. Whether working with teens stepping into their next chapter, young adults rebuilding after difficulty, or spiritual seekers looking for grounded guidance, she offers a space of steadiness, curiosity, and nonjudgment.

Her work centers on helping clients reconnect with their inner resources, build emotional regulation skills, develop self-trust, and move toward a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and wholly their own.
