Ariella Abayev, LCSW

My belief is that through creating a safe and comfortable environment, we can work together in creating positive and sustainable growth.

I specialize in working with various chronic illnesses, anxiety, depression, and life changes — serving ages 16+. By combining a holistic approach alongside evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, healing can begin and flourish.

Currently, I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing in New Jersey and New York.

I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, both from Rutgers University.

Services

Our counseling services are designed to provide you with guidance and support tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to offer a confidential and safe space to explore your challenges and foster sustainable growth.

    • Chronic Illness

      • Living with a chronic illness can bring daily challenges—physically, emotionally, and mentally. I offer a space of understanding and validation, where we can process the impact on your life, practice acceptance, and develop stress management strategies to help you cope with uncertainty and maintain your well-being.

    • Anxiety

    • Depression

    • Life changes

    • College adjustment/support

      • College can be exciting—but also a lot. New freedoms, big decisions, shifting friendships and relationships, plus figuring out who you are! I’m here to help you make sense of it all, find your footing, and feel more confident as you explore this chapter of your life.

  • Individual therapy sessions are offered primarily through our secure, HIPAA-compliant tele-health platform. Sessions will begin on a weekly basis and progress is reevaluated periodically.
