Hi, I’m Ari!
Arizza D. Salas, LCSW | She/Hers/Ella
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Solace OCD & Anxiety Therapy. I specialize in working with OCD, anxiety, trauma, and depression, but more than anything, I care about creating a space where people can be real.
I’m supportive, direct, curious, and definitely not a blank-slate therapist. I’ll celebrate your progress, challenge you when needed, and help you make sense of the patterns that keep showing up in your life.
Therapy can be hard work, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. There’s room for honesty, humor, connection, and a lot of encouragement along the way.
Therapy With Me
Therapy with me is supportive, but it’s also active. We’ll laugh, get curious, call things out, and work on real change, not just talk about it. Some sessions may feel emotional or uncomfortable, especially when we’re doing the brave work of facing what you’ve been avoiding, but you won’t be doing that work alone.
My approach is evidence-based, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive. We’ll make space to understand where patterns came from while also helping you practice new ways of responding to thoughts, emotions, uncertainty, relationships, and difficult experiences.
You don’t have to say the “right” thing, have it all figured out, or do therapy perfectly here. You just have to show up willing to try.
