St Augustine Counseling - St. Augustine, Florida

I cannot recommend Arielle and her practice enough. She has been the first therapist to truly understand me and provide the guidance I needed to navigate significant transitions in my life. With her help, I’ve learned how to express my feelings in ways that feel authentic and empowering. What sets her apart is that our sessions feel like genuine conversations rather than one-sided monologues. I feel seen, heard, and understood in a way I never have before, which has allowed me to show up as my true self. Her compassionate and insightful approach has been transformative for me.

Arielle has been an incredible help for me as I navigate a difficult stage of my life. She is understanding and empathic but also firm and direct. She is great at pointing out blind spots and/or bringing me back to the original topic when I go off course. She has offered keen insight and often times an out of the box perspective that helps me see things in a new light. She is open minded and non-judgmental and makes her office feel like a safe space to talk freely and safely. I am very glad I found her and highly recommend her if you are going through a difficult stage in your life..

I have been working with Bethany since the fall of 2024, and I have felt truly supported with care, professionalism, and genuine talent. I initially reached out to her because I wanted to heal from what I believed to be a traumatic event that occurred five years ago, using EMDR therapy. It was my first experience with EMDR, and while the process itself is not complicated, painful, or lengthy, it unraveled a significant mental and emotional burden for me.

I have done three EMDR sessions with Bethany, and alongside that, we have had many deep conversations. I can honestly say I have never felt so understood and supported. There is still so much more for me to explore and process, but for the first time, I feel like I am growing and truly understanding how my mind works.

As a mom of two, originally from Europe, now in my 40s, I find myself facing past experiences that have shaped me, sometimes leaving my mind and body in a state of confusion. Bethany has been instrumental in helping me find clarity and meaning in everything that has happened and is still unfolding in my life.

She is an exceptional therapist, and I honestly don’t know how I would manage without her right now. I have seen many therapists before, but I have never felt as deeply understood as I do with Bethany. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone feeling lost and in need of professional, compassionate guidance.

We found Arielle while searching for a couples therapist. We had been to several others in the past but weren’t completely satisfied. During our first visit she described the different style of therapy she offers. Arielle utilizes relational therapy which can be very different than traditional therapy! After completing our first consultation I was actually excited and knew progress would be made. Since our first visit, we have seen Arielle both as a couple and individually and she had been nothing short of fantastic! As someone who has been to and worked with numerous therapists I can honestly say she is top notch. Her approach and personality make it very easy to open up and talk with her! It feels less like speaking to a stranger and more like discussing issues with a long time friend. You definitely get the feeling she really cares about you and you’re not just a number or case file. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for couples or individual therapy in the St Augustine area.

What an incredible place for both couples and individuals to find support! I highly recommend the entire team here. That’s exactly what you’re getting—a dedicated, skilled, and curious group of counselors who are truly able and willing to explore the challenges you’re facing.

I know Arielle professionally through the RLT network of therapists. She's a safe, secure harbor in the sea of therapists and healers...So accepting, open and authentic. I'd recommend her to anyone wanting to be known, seen and accepted for who you are no matter what you bring to the therapy work...She'll show up for you when you're ready!

I prefer a direct communication style and Arielle does a great job of meeting my needs. She offers good suggestions for practical real-world changes in my life to develop a more grounded version of myself. She's prepared to address any of the issues I've brought up and she follows up with questions in the next session.

Her office is a comfortable environment and she has an adorable little dog who is sometimes present for sessions. Highly recommended.

Arielle is the best (out of 15-20) therapist I have ever had. I have never met someone so set on getting people OUT of their care. She has real tools and the alacrity—and the interest in you as a real whole person—to get you actually well so that your life fits you better so that you don’t need her anymore, or only need her intermittently. If you are ready to do the work she is absolutely the place to go. I am grateful I met her every single day. Please hear me; you will not find a better therapist anywhere.
