Ariel Hayat, LMSW

*I can provide teletherapy if you are located in NYC or NYS*

Going to college brings new life experiences and transitions with friends, family, partners, professors, and even with yourself. Navigating school, friends, social events, homework, clubs, teams, and getting enough sleep can be a lot to juggle. With all of these new changes, feelings of anxiety, depression, exhaustion, identity exploration, frustration, loneliness, and more are normal to have.

As an LGBTQA+ affirming therapist, I have a deep commitment and passion for creating safe therapeutic spaces with individuals & couples from diverse backgrounds and identities. I support clients in diving deep into understanding the challenges they are facing, exploring pathways forward, while imagining and creating a life where they are not only surviving but thriving. By building a foundation of self-awareness and self-compassion, my clients are able to forge strong relationships with themselves and others, promoting positive mental health and resilience.
