Hi, I’m Ariel Shearer (she/her)

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of Washington. I seek to help deeply feeling people process pain and find clarity.

Maybe you feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt or helplessness, unsure of how to create the life you desire. Past experiences—whether traumatic events, relational wounds, or unmet needs—may still echo in the present, impacting the way you view yourself and make meaning. Or perhaps you struggle to experience emotions without judgment, turning blame inward while holding the lonely weight of despair and disconnection.

My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore opportunities for deepening your self-trust and charting new paths toward healing, growth, and authentic connection.
