ARI WEBSTER

A B O U T  M E:  I provide a non-judgmental space to honor our past, process our feelings, look at our relationship patterns and gain new understandings. My practice is trauma informed and I value the importance of recognizing systemic realties that affect our mental health and lived experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a genuine, calm, and warm environment to contain our work.

I am an LPCC candidate in counseling from the University of Minnesota and hold a license as an Alcohol and Drug counselor. I work with those looking to gain insight and make positive changes during life transitions, processing trauma experiences, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, issues surrounding alcohol and substance use, and those wanting to explore life’s existential questions.

My approach is holistic with a foundation in psychodynamic, strengths-based approaches, mindfulness, the mind body connection, and feminist perspectives. Together we will explore your life experiences, examine personal and systemic stressors, and pursue changes to an ever developing sense of self.

I was born and raised in Minneapolis; I am excited to work with the community I came from. Early in my graduate work, I worked with young children with autism spectrum disorders and their families and enjoy family therapy services. While pursuing my education I have worked in the restaurant industry for the past 15 years. I’m an avid traveler and live to explore. In my spare time, I enjoy riding my bicycle around town, working as a freelance artist, and spending time outside with friends and family.
